Didn't deal with him. Just dealt with a guy named Shawn. Nice guy. you know, when you get to the
level of experience this board posseses, you really don't care to hear the hype from the sales guy. He's just a tool and you're using him to get to the thing you want.
The real boneroast was the "finance" guy. He was probably upset I wrote him a check for the car so they couldn't earn any finance money off of me, but then he tried to sell me a few different things:
1. $500 for a clearcoat package. Me: What's a clearocat package? Him: Well, once a year we'll clearcoat the car for you because, you know, the clearcoat wears off. Me: Are you fvcking kidding me? (To which my wife starts squirming in her seat at this point cause she knows I'm about to lose it.) I said, so what you're telling me is you're going to actually paint my car with a clearcoat finish and buff and polish it out for me because clearcoat is essentially the last step in the paint process. Him: Well, it's a polymer finish we put on the car. Me: Ah, so you want me to pay you $500 to wax the car once a year? Him: Well, yeah, now that you put it that way. Me: How would YOU put it? No answer of course.
2. Extended warranty for 7 yrs./70K. Me: So this is an extension of my current warranty? Him: No, this is the warranty you would buy. Me: So what good is the warranty with the car and the certified process I just went through and paid for to extend the warranty to 6 years and 74K miles? Him: Well, this one is better. Me: How so? Have it in writing what it covers? Him: No, but I can show you the Mazda extended warranty. To which I laugh in his face and tell him I wouldn't waste the money.
3. (And this one is the best.) Him: We can offer you the extended maintenance warranty for 2 yrs-$359, 3 yrs-$559, 4 yrs-$759. Me: So Chief, what does this do for me? Him: (Now a whipped man) It covers all your maintenance costs for whichever period you choose. Now I'm thinking ok, this is no Audi and I'm sure I don't have bumper to bumper no maintenance costs like my RS6 so I'm still listening. Me: So again, what does this cover? Him: Well, I don't have it in writing but I do have the Mazda maintenance agreement and it's similar. So, I'm reading it and it's like inspect hoses, inspect belts, inspect brakes and rotors, inspect tires for uneven wear, inspect wiper blades, change oil and filter, etc.... you get the picture. Me: So, when you inspect these items, do you fix them as per this agreement? him: No, we just inspect them and the cost of repair is yours. Me: (Now I've lost it) So, what in the fvck am I paying you for, an oil change? $359 for however many oil changes I ultimately have in 2 years??? Are you serious??? Him: Well, you know, this isn't Mercedes or that beautiful RS6 you have out there where everything is covered. This is VW and no maintenance is covered. Me: I'm not interested. him: Please! Buy something from me. I'll cut you a deal. (To which my wife is now kicking my shins.) I said, ok, sell me the maintenance agreement for $100 and take $100 off the price of the car. Him: I can't do that, it's below my cost. I said, below cost? You want to talk about what I'm paying for this car? He says I don't know what you're paying for this car. I said, WAIT, you're the finance guy, you have all the paperwork spread out in front of you and you don't know your cost and your profit? I said, I'm done, here's my check for the car.
What a COMPLETE ********.
