People may not realise you're talking about SA dealers. I've merged your thread with this one.

To answer your question, the price you'll manage will depend on the salesperson you speak to, and your negotiation skills. Good deals can be had from either dealer.

I can't comment on the Duttons servicing; Solitaire have been fine for me thus far, but then others' experiences do vary quite a bit.

Take a look at this thread also: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...ons-31714.html

But of a bump.

I hated Solitaire. There was a young dude there who failed sales 101 at every opportunity. The young lady was nice but I think she must have been on leave or something by the time I went back a second time.

I really like Duttons. Great staff but they do seem to have a high turnover rate. Great servicing and if you live in Adelaide they will pick up and drop off your car.

lynas is the 3rd option. their original salesman was quite green and had a poor knowledge base of his products.. and tim lynas (via his sales staff) told me to test drive a car in the city and come back to buy it from him. i live around the corner from lynas, but still bought from hawthorn.

alli fick was the best salesperson i've dealt with but as far as i know, she's on leave for a year or so. i bought a mkV gti from her in 2005 and follwed her to hawthorn to buy an R in 2010. solitaires servicing despite being a bit exy has led to no troubles and excellent personal service to me.

Times have changed lincs. Its not fair to cast a shadow on Lynas based on your experience 2 years ago.

Ageed, got mine from lynas , mathew is a very skilled VW sales person , ex solitaire , i like the country friendliness with a good deal , even drive up for a service, take the day off and have a long lunch , very relaxing .

We bought most of our cars from Solitaire. I've almost always dealt with Michael at Medindie and can't fault him. Great bloke to do the business with, highly recommend.

I bought my GTI from Ashley Matthews - now the Sales Manager at Lynas VW - when he was at Solitaire. Great bloke, good price, would recommend.

im glad things have changed with getting matthew on board... although tim the shark wouldn't have changed. his stares still burn holes in my car when i drive past! i don't feel guilty though, he still has his classic car and ferrari collection!
