VW Salesman Guy: “March is usually a hot month for us, we’re still offering the autoshow discount considering the autoshow was cancelled, we can give you $3k off and 0% financing. ”

I suppose that’s a decent offer that will definitely be haggled in the coming weeks once society falls apart and he needs to meet his sales quota.

Good luck with hardball negotiations.

I blame you for linking me to this one.

I blame me for actually contacting them about it.

Two weeks from today should be an epic time for car dealing, if people are allowed out of their houses.

I have no problem taking the blame for you getting a car that better fits your needs.

Also spending your money is a lot more fun than spending my money.

Ah, but if you’re buying new and you’ve test driven the model before, you could definitely just negotiate over the phone, docusign or scanned PDFs to seal the deal, boom, done.

And then just have the car put in storage until you are out of quarantine and can pick it up.

This factored somewhat into accepting the offer I did to sell the F-150 this weekend. I think I probably could’ve gotten $500+ ish more out of it, but I got a close enough offer to make me think there was potential value in the ability to go deposit a cashier’s check into my account this morning before things start to get real around here.

Unfortunately, the MVD offices went to appointment only today, and the earliest appointment I could get to finalize the title and registration on the Pajero is two weeks away. For some reason the paperwork the state police signed off on for the level-3 VIN inspection on Thursday is going to take until Wednesday to get to the MVD office a mile away. This is also part of why I titled and registered the Jag the day I bought it last week.

Yeah, I bet you can get more off.

I have become a bit of a shameless shill for the MK7 golf lineup at this point. They’re great. I have one (a manual Golf S),  and it rocks. I might get an e-golf and/or a current-gen TT eventually. I might collect them all.

I like my Outback and I like my GTI for different reasons. But I prefer the balance of buttons and touchscreen in the GTI, so you definitely will benefit from that UI with the VW.
