Tell the dealer to go and sod off... those guys, especially in the large dealers will do anything to make the most from a sale. No one is forcing them to give the discount or to take the business, regardless of the margin. If he was so peaved he should have said no and then the buyer goes to another dealer.

I agree maybe the guy on the forum should have been a little more discreet but at the end of the day what makes one persons ability to get a better deal than someone else a fair cop. How many times do people walk into a dealership and get stiffed over a price, most of the time id say! For example, my father wouldnt have a around pricing, he simply asks the price and says yes and no. So on a recent deal I told him to get a price and give me a call. I rang the dealer, checked the specs and then asked for a discount, without a prompt further to guy dropped the price $2400, over the phone!

If the dealers didnt always vary the price and it was fixed then none of this nonense would ever occur in the first place. Would they sell any less cars... of course not.

The dealer should have been ringing to thank you for the business!!

I referred someone to the the dealer I bought my car from, told him the price and the dealer sent me an email to thank me for the reference!

Hello. My name is Kristopher Nielsen. I am 29 years old and live in Canberra. I bought my Volkswagen Passat R36 Sedan from Gerald Slaven Volkswagen in Belconnen (in Canberra). It is Biscay Blue with factory Sat Nav and Sunroof as the two options. John was the name of the salesman. I can't recall his surname however he is the only John in Volkswagen new car sales at that dealership. I ended up negotiating the price to $70,000 drive away. I recommend anyone in the ACT goes and speaks the guys at Gerald Slaven Volkswagen if they're keen on buying one, any model for that matter.

Seriously... Give a flying "sexual intercourse"?!

I have to admit I'm getting to the point where I believe this thread is going nowhere and just degenerating. But in the interest of not "over-moderating" Does anyone feel strongly that this thread should be left to continue?
