When I made the deal on my GTI over the weekend I negotiated some merchandise into the sale. Namely two umbrellas and a 1:43 scale car for my boy. Today they called to say they only have one umbrella and the models have been discontinued. I could maybe ask for the Touareg they had on display, but what would you do? It's on the contract and a small part of me says nail them to the wall. I want my umbrella!

Maybe stop being petty about an umbrella and a toy car? Seriously - it's not a big deal.

Petty? Well I'm sure if I tried to alter the deal at all in my favour they would be quick to produce the contract.

Why don't you just wait till they have stock of the umbrellas to get your second one, and ask for the cash equivalent off the contract to cover the model (which you can then track down on eBay)?

If the lack of a $7 umbrella is stopping you buying the car you dont want it very much. Ask for an extra fancy VW keyring Thats all I got and it certainly wasnt written into the contract.

I never said it was stopping me from buying the car, that was the deal that was made. As others have suggested I will just get something else.

I'm thinking the dealer I got mine from must have been raking it in. They were literally throwing merchandise my way when I went it to negotiate a deal for my CC.
Ended up with 2 umbrellas, 6 lanyards, two VW caps and two VW visors. They even gave me a bottle of plonk (Wolf Blass IIRC) the day I went in to pick up the car.
I found it amusing that they had my car under wraps and revealed it with a flourish and handing me bags of merchandise and the wine. Felt like I was on The Price is Right for a bit there....
If I got a top of the range Toureg, I'd probably have had dancing girls and the whole works and a true rockstar reception.
