At a VW store. The best part? BMW called today asking if I want to come back and interview for the sales manager position they should have given me in the first place. That store is like a bad ex.

Congrats! Are you sticking with VW or considering going back?

I’m sticking with VW. I just started this week and really feed good about the opportunity I have there. I had been actively trying to go back to BMW before I got the VW call, and they didn’t seem to want me until I got this new offer. To me, it never makes sense to go back where you weren’t wanted until they found out someone else wants you. Thus the bad ex reference.

Maybe say it’s too late to renege on your promise, so you’ll give VW a shot. Let them stew for a year.

So what’s your company car going to be?

No clue yet. They do their demos based on stock levels, so hopefully there’s big production on the Passat GT and I can get one of those. If not, the new Tiguan is a really nice ride.

Can you give me a 50% discount on a Golf R? If so I’m on my way

I’ll take that RSX off your hands if you’re not going to keep it...

Congratulations.

They may even give you an Arteon instead of a Passat.

GTI? Or do they still even make a GLI? Or maybe there’s a Phaeton on the used car lot that needs your attention. Damn - the possibilities!

And is this a VW only store? I’ve noticed that it’s usually the case.

It is. We have other franchises run from other buildings at the same campus. But we function independently other than our F&I team.

Does your store do dealer orders? I’m having a hard time doing that with the stores near me.

We do. But they’re taking forever with the Atlas right now.

I’m looking for a GTI with the summer tire package ( order only ) does Kinja do PMs? I’d love to buy from a fellow oppo if it’s doable.
