Did they see you already had a Mk6 GTi? If they did, you have the answer.

Not sure but if they did they should have definitely offered assistance, who better a customer to buy an R other than a MK6 owner and what better part x could they hope for than a freshly waxed GTI?

Gossa  you seem very bitter mate, take your custom somwhere else , what I would do is speak to VWCS name & shame the dealer to them, and they maybe docked points?? Enjoy steve

[gossa]

no Steve, no bitter at all mate, disappointed i would say and maybe disappointed more for VW, they are the ones losing out.

I have found one halfway decent dealer, eurocanterbury, that's where I bought my Scirocco. Loders in Dorchester supplied the MK6 and they were pretty good but when I called them to book it in for the first service they didn't even call me back.

A good sales person will show courtesy and interest when a customer visits his business premises. Gossa is 100% correct in being disappointed. I hope he told them off. I would have.

Shortly before my father bought his 911 Turbo Porsche he pulled up in our MK5 GTI (Pajero was in for a service) outside our local Ferrari / Maserati Dealer.

They didnt even look at him, my mom and two brothers whilst they looked around the showroom. No assistance, no respect etc. We are left to assume that they saw a little MK5 GTI outside and judged that he couldnt afford their cars.

Naturally he did kick up a serious fuss and then went straight to Porsche and bought from them. I wasnt there but he did apparently take the Porsche through to Ferrari, parked it outside and when he went inside everyone offered assistance. He called the DP, smiled and waved and left.

I expect this sort of behaviour from a exotic car company. I was at the same Ferrari dealer yesterday and felt so disappointed because the bf and myself were just browsing at the new California and 430 Scuderia and there was so much I wanted to ask about the cars and they just didnt acknowedge that we were even there.  :embarassed:

But for VW to give this sort of behaviour is truly stupid... But then again. Sipho from our dealer never did call me back about a test drive in a Scirocco. Sigh.

VW dealers are Vudabar Waankers.

recently swopped my s4 for a s/h mk5 gti went to local vw dealer useless, bought the car from an indie who  were exactly the opposite and i would definately buy there again. in the past ive had real problems at jag, audi and honda dealers very arrogant

My expectations are extremely high, I expect that when I pull up in a £25K golf and start poking around a £35K golf, someone will have the decency to acknowledge me!

Being in sales prior what was probably going through their minds was ...
Oh great a guy who owes 30k on a car worth 20k just like the guy 30 minutes ago..

You were lucky really as the swindon used car collection seems to be where they put all the bent cars.  We went looking for my sister for a mk5 Golf last year and all of them seemed to have something wrong with the paint work.  Resprays - wing mirrors hanging off.  Call it a lucky escape.
