Went to hueberger yesterday, ready to deal, was looking at 2 specific cars, when salesman approached, I asked if they had others that were not on the showroom floor yet, and he said yes. Told us were to go and said he'd be right there in 5-10 minutes. Jess and I walked over and were comparing the 6 cars that they had 3 of one model and 3 of another..... Enter Arthur, the salesman....du
ndundun....
I told Arthur we were looking for a safe family sized VW, and we wanted either a Passat or CC-sport (6spd) or Tiguan SE 4motion, but we did not want the sunroof on either. I then told him the following:
1- I have owned VWs for 95% of my adult life
2- My dad had them when I was a kid.
3- I am a member of E719 VW car club
4- I’ve helped on the DATR planning committee.
I start asking about financing specials, and he's says
<We start walking across the lot to the other new VW's>
"Do you have a trade, how many miles are on it and how old?"
(Me) "I asked about financing, wasn't talking about trading in anything."
(Arthur) "Well I can get you into a legacy or a Forrester for cheaper than those two. They hold their value better than VW, we are the #1 Subaru dealer in the nation (<---he says this 12 times in the next 15minutes)
(Me) I’m not sure I like Subaru’s, I have never owned one, and I’d really rather look at the VW's
(Arthur) goes on to tell me stories about how people love their Subaru’s, they last forever, and how Subaru designed AWD and is the best AWD system ever... and they can get the turbo in them....throws in about 6 more 'we are the #1 Subaru dealer in the nation'
<We walk down to the use car lot and look at used VW's>
(Me) ok that's great, but we're here to see VW's, that what we want to buy today.
<Arthur then points out every non-VW in the lot, as we are looking at the VWs and we both reply yeah but we are looking for a VW>
yada...yada..y
ada....
<back in the show room, we walk to the VW side....>
(Arthur) well we are the #1 Subaru dealer in the nation, but if you want a VW, how about a legacy. <WTF>
(jess) I don't like the legacy, I like the tiguan and the passat.
(Arthur) ok I’ll go grab one for a test drive....
(jess and I) thank you.
<he walks off>
(Me) ok...
enter-Arthur then drives up in a Forrester base model....WTF.
<we test drive the hippie fag-wagon, it smells like it is burning oil, is a total dog. sounds like it is going to explode getting on the highway>
(Arthur) still rambling on about #1 Subaru dealer, hippies love their Subaru, they last forever and I can get u this cheaper...<I’m not even listening to the ramblings of this idiot>
(jess) well this car is worse than my 98 Honda civic...slower, seats suck, and looks cheap.
(Arthur) do you have a trade, how many miles are on it and how old? cuz we can put you in this for the perfect price.
(me) NO, this is not the car for us, we want a VW, we want to see VW tiguans, and Passats only....we do NOT want a Subaru.
(Arthur)ok, I’ll grab one when we get back....<he goes dead silent until we pull in to the lot> I’ll be right back with the perfect car.
(me) but make sure.....<too late he was gone>
<enter Arthur with a Forrester Turbo>
(me) GDSOBMFSAN....
...<I whisper under my breath>
<my turn to test drive.....>
jess can see the look in my eyes as I get in the car and close the door....I put on my seatbelt and yank it tight....she does the same and grabs the oh shit handle and braces herself before we left the lot, with on oh fuck look in her face....
needless to say.....
I raped the shit out of that thing in the 12 minutes I got to drive it.....ground every gear, every shift, 5k RPM clutch dumps (clutches are not supposed to slip with <12 miles on them are they?), brake checks, curb oops, swerve to hit a pot hole, oops...grind, bang, brakes.....rod
e that thing harder than a $2 dead hooker.
(Arthur is in the back, saying we are the #1 Subaru dealers, and telling me how he knew I’d love the Subaru)
we get back, oops I left the e-brake on the whole time.....damn.
we got out, and Arthur is like, ok I'll go get the paperwork....
(both) wait we're going to go, we need time to think about it. ok well let me get you a brochure so you can see all the colors and options for your new Forrester turbo......
<we turn and walk away>
<almost made it to the GTi, when he runs up here and shoves a brochure in my hands and says...>
(Arthur) I stapled my card on there for when you come back and see me when you are ready to buy...
<get into the Gti, and drive off, throwing the hippie fag-wagon brochure out the window as we leave>
we went to lunch then home, we talked about what we wanted with what options..... got on the net, and checked all of the VW inventory in the state and found one we wanted at McDonald VW.......i then placed a call to the sales manager Jason, talked about Arthur and hueberger for a bit, told him his website showed he had this car stock # XYZ on the lot, asked what options were on the car and if ti was still on site....he looked it up said it just arrived on saturday and they still had it.
GREAT i'm coming fro CO springs i'll be there in about 2 hours, he said ok, i'll have it pulled up and ready when you get here.
sales man called about 15minutes later, as i'm walking out the door. ok it's ready. see you when you get here.
<arrived and warmly welcomed by sales team,>
Tim Greene, the salesman took us out front, car was there, already detailed and ready to go.....went for a test drive
deal went perfectly smooth...... great salesman, very honest and friendly and straight forward.
after deal was done, talked with both him and the sales manager for a bit, then drove home in our brand new car.....
i would recommend Tim Greene to anyone in the market for VW.
