Nice. One of my co-workers just picked up a white Golf TDi about three weeks ago. She really likes it.

Man, went through buying service and still jerking me around. Low balled me and added a $599 processing fee? FFS. I'm getting ready to leave without the car.

Hate those dealer fees that are obviously just cash for nothing.
Are there no other dealers nearby with a suitable alternative? Maybe look into ordering one, doesn't sound like you're in to much of a rush.

I just hate dealers. I'm going through X-Plan but I am telling the credit union to break their association with this dealer.
The two nearest me are bigger weasels than this one. This is my last car purchase for a while. I know why people buy from Carmax. This is bullshit.

Yup. neogotiate/fill out application/fax driver license/everything else all should be done via phone/email.
the only time you should be in the dealer is signing the contract and car inspection, which should not take more than 20 mins.
No to all Add ons from the finance manager.

Yeah. When I bought my BRZ, I just emailed all local Subaru dealers to give me a deal.
Made an appointment with the one that gave me the best deal.
Went in. Drove the car. Signed the papers. Done.

Okay, so, I'm confused. Did you just buy an EB Mustang? Is it to replace the Focus or in addition to it?

What did you end up getting for the ST via trade (feel free to PM if you'd like)?
Congratulations on the Mustang! I truly hope she ends up being a perfect 100% reliable beast for you.
Take that, VW!

A bit sad to see the ST go? Did you uninstall the tune and everything and planning on selling all of that?

OMG I love this new Audi Q7! Looks almost like a wagon!
And you can get a 2.0T in it too! Maybe my wife's next car?
The car lost +700 lbs of weight. lol
