The customer is always right!

That saying was valid decades ago.

I feel sorry for people who keep their car for 10+ years and they have to pay $2500+ the dealer delivery fee. But I don't feel sorry for people who change their cars every 2-3 years - they're rich and they can afford it, and it's probably them complaining the most.

So, yeah, get over it!

I cycle my cars every 3-4 years and I'm hardly rich. There are many benefits to not keeping your car for 10+ years and I'm sure a lot of people on this forum would agree.

I have always felt dealer delivery is a rip, if I buy a TV from Japan I don't get charged a 'JB Hifi delivery fee', it's already been worked into the price as it should be with cars.

I agree it should be in the price. Why they disclose it, is beyond me. IMO it is not economical to change car every 3-4 years. But hey everyone is different. I use my T5 for business, so it is fully depreciated and it is a waste of money to buy a new van even every 5 years unless someone does 40,000km per year.

How many km do you drive per year? (just asking)

Man apologized what more do you want, if you red his post till the end you would know. (the same to BR @ ON).

I would have thought it was quite obvious from my reply that I read the whole of his "apology".

Well on my Impreza that I traded in for my Polo I did 75,000 KM's between Nov 2006 and May 2010. However that was when I had a company car so the Impreza wasn't used all that often. As of November this year I no longer have a company car (some weeks I did 1,000KM's in the company car). I have done about 10,500KM's since May in the Polo...

I can understand not buying a new work vehicle every 5 years, I would be the same. But since it is a personal car I want something that's fun

This is from the end of his post;

"Once again I apologise to GTI JOE for his experience and thank him (although not the form of which I prefer to receive a complaint) and wish him all the best with his car in the future. If he or any other member wishes to discuss an experience in our dealership (good or bad) feel free to email me at dblackwood@bayford.com.au

Regards,David Blackwood"

Regarding how ''behind'' we are... case in point:



meh. and textbooks from 1924, delivered on a trolley by a state library employee wearing special gloves, will for ever be the only scholastic/academic authority...

(p.s. no insult intended, but i dont really presume that you'd get that... rather, turn it into a "cool comeback".)

We are talking about unreviewed site.... not peer reviewed reference books - lol

I reckon half the questions on this site could have been easily answered if the originator of the post had:
1. RTFM.
2. Spoke to the dealer.
3. Read the purchase contract.
4. Typed the keywords of the query into Google and done the research themselves.

In 1924 terms these are nothing like the revered texts in the library and more the "letters to the editor" of the local rag

No useful conversation was deleted, not even negative one. Just stay on topic!

It would be interesting to try the 150kw APR 1.4TSI upgrade in the Polo Gti.

Is this possible? I checked APR's site and didn't see the Polo GTI mentioned.

There will be one shortly since the tune for the GT basically the same (same engine).
