tt-3

I've committed to buying my TT from Miramar VW-Audi in San Diego. Salesman know I'm coming in from Honolulu to Las Vegs on business, and will swing by to visit my family & buy car to shop home. Here's the thing he says the car is at the port in Chula Vista, but he's trying to get me to do the paperwork before the end of the month.. and before I can actually take delivery of the car.

Is he pulling my leg, and tryign to pul a fast one, or do they get some extra commission for meeting month end quotas?

anyone has god or bas experiences???

thanks

The allocations are especially important; this is why some East Coast dealers have so many TTs on their lots that they are selling for under MSRP while others may only be shipped one 225 coupe every other month.

In short, monthly sales <b>are</b> important, and I don't see any problems with completing the paperwork early as long as have the salesman add appropriate verbiage to the sales contract (e.g. "Contract contingent upon final inspection and approval of vehicle by purchaser at time of delivery.")

On the other hand, you're spending $30-40K on a car
you haven't seen. Depends on your confidence with the salesperson,
whether you've had previous dealings with them before, etc.
Fine print aside, it's a lot easier to resolve or avoid problems
while YOU retain control of the transaction.
The salesperson's monthly quotas, etc., are THEIR problem, not yours.
If you've put down a deposit and the agreement says they can't sell
the car within the period that you expect to pick it up, I'd say
stick with the agreement. You don't have to be unreasonable about it,
but then, neither do they...

You give them money, they give you a car. That's the deal.

If you give them "money" early then they need to reciprocate with something extra...like good service. ;-)

Don't do it. My first TT arrived with a dead DV. Didn't sign. Got another.

I wouldn't do it. Especially if they don't even have the car in their possession yet.

I waited until my car arrived and I inspected it.

Basically, this means that if you see the car and don't like it for any reason ("the windshield is smudged"), you can cancel the deal without penalty, as it's written right in your sales contract...

Of course, when I bought mine last April they were much harder to get so I didn't have much choice.

(And in the meantime, I technically owned the vehicle so had to pay property tax, etc. on a car that was not even in my possession.)
