Best way to screw the dealer post deposit

[Allegiance]

Hi Guys,

Now I know this has been discussed to varying degrees in other topics.

I have already put down the deposit on my GTI, the deal I got was:

GTI, 5 Door, Black, Sunroof, DSG for $46,000 drive away (car is clearing customs so 2 weeks roughly away).

I would really like a window tint (darkest legal) for free.

Also, I can't seem to find it in the spec sheet, but I believe there may be a basic bluetooth kit available as well? Ideally I would like this thrown in as well.

Now at this point it is pretty difficult, but what are some strategies you have used to get more from a dealer post deposit?

Thanks!

You have already a good deal I doubt they help you any more.

No chance.

You could negotiate these if you offer post purchase servicing at the dealership.

Window tint you could say you found it cheap elsewhere but prefer the dealer service and guarantee and see what they can do to match your price.

Otherwise just go with it, you got a pretty mint deal anyway.
What's another 1k max in teh grand scheme of things?

as above. No chance! Why would they give you anything more when they already have a signed contract and deposit?

I did get a call from another dealer yesterday who I was talking to over the weekend that said they could have beaten that driveaway price by "at least $1,500". However since I had paid a deposit it was to late.

Could I use this as leverage?

Leverage? For what? You have a contract with a dealer. They're running a business so unless they're feeling a bit "charity" inclined, they're not going to do themselves out of anything financially.

It used to be the case that a man's word was all that was needed. A gentleman’s handshake was rock solid.

From what I read above even a signed contract is not honourable for some people

Yep dealing is for prior to signing on the dotted line.
Maybe if the delivery is delayed.................

The downside to buying a car that is months away is that you will always here stories of better deals elsewhere etc.

I could have done a lot better on mine, but this time next month i should have it sitting in my driveway....


suck it up..
