Still crazy incentives? I shouldn't, but, it's so tempting.

The dealer in Virginia finally emailed me today, I wrote back immediately but they of course haven't gotten back to me yet. If there's still $7k on the hood I don't give a poo poo about the interest rate since it will be paid off in less than a year once my Golf gets bought back. No money on the hood and no sale.

I did call them. They said they would call me back Tuesday. They then emailed me today. Since they wanted to dick around I wouldn't be able to make it out until next week anyway. I'm in no rush.

How do you think I feel. Assuming the wreck hadn't totalled it, I'd be getting 22k back for a car I only paid 24k. I'd be able to buy an R with Pretorias :(

Are they talking about the old Tiguan or the new one? The new one isn't actually in the US yet is it? So they must be talking about the old one, you know the one they stopped making.

I'm always perplexed as to how the people who write the sales press releases seem to know absolutely nothing about which car is new.

They finally sent me a quote



$1k more than last week. Still listed at $22k on their website of course. I'm also not sure about adding my sales tax for where I live into their price even if that's standard in Virginia. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can only pay when you register here.

Since I just went through this: $22k is listed on their website but it probably says at the bottom that the price is with all incentives whether or not you qualify, in my case I didn't qualify for a recent grad discount of somewhere around $500. Regarding the sales tax, you'll pay all appropriate sales tax for your area at the dealer (apparently this is so the lender knows that sales tax/reg fees were all paid) and they overnighted my plates when they received them. I paid the $800 in freight and the retarded $600 "admin" fee because it was still thousands lower than I could find anywhere else. Also, since you're flying in, I told them when I was getting in and they picked me up from IAD which was nice. If you're getting dicked around by them, I still wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay VW, their internet sales guy Al was great and made the whole process easy as poo poo.

I'm not flying to the east coast to try and haggle a price down. I'm thinking of just countering at $25.6k out the door because while that's a good deal I know that if I just wait a bit I'll be able to get the same thing closer. The only thing that might be an issue is supply of cars once the buy back gets rolling in earnest, but I'm not all that worried about it.

e: I told them that $1k over what's still listed on their website on top of another $1k in fees makes it not worth it for me to fly out there and the drive over 900 miles home.

So after three weeks, I finally got an email from VW saying they've reviewed my documents, and all the correct steps have been taken, and now they are currently determining my eligibility. Here we go, wonder how long this will take.

I wonder if my car being registered in Maryland, and since moving to Ohio will be a problem. I didnt update my registration out of avoidance of a hassle. Retitling and registering a car in Ohio is drat cheap compared to MD and pretty much hassle free, but dealing with the MVA(Maryland) is a nightmare. I really hope this is t a problem.

It took 3.5 weeks for me to get an offer letter. It requires a notary this time, $10 at a UPS store, and it has to be scanned and uploaded (no cell pictures).

My MKVI GTI has been sounding a little loud at times recently, finally this morning it deciding to go all the way and separate the muffler from the rest of the exhaust. I got underneath the car and found that luckily it is just the sleeve that connects the two halves



After 140K miles the two hose clamps that secure it to each side have dissolved. Assuming I can get the remnants off, can I replace those with any that are about the same size, or is there some reason I should get replacement ones from VW?

edit: found replacement sleeve on Amazon for $16, ordered that

Signed, notarized, and uploaded my offer letter on the 4th, and I got an email back today to schedule an appointment. The earliest possible was November 29th, and it looks like my dealership, Sonnen VW in San Rafael, is only doing Tuesday appointments at 1:30 or 2:30pm.

After submitting it took three and a half weeks to get my offer letter, and then after submitting that only 5 days to set my appointment, but that is a little weird. My dealer only does Tuesdays at 1:30 or 2:30, which might be related to plate, or VIN, or name?

I'm fully expecting to get turned away at the dealer for having too many miles or some bullshit. Currently at 108,000, might roll over 110,000, by the 29th.

Are you getting a check cut or doing an EFT? If you're doing an EFT, the amount will just be adjusted based on mileage from what I've been reading...but I could have mis-read something too.
