Default Ugh dealers suck. Why can't they make a customer happy by trading

for a car that a customer wants. Went to my local dealer to buy a TTS. Dealer thought the car I wanted was at port Ibis with black leather, but turned out that it was in Texas. So he called me yesterday told me, but there was an Ibis with black/silver so I said see if you can get that, Nope that dealer won't trade with mine. Ugh.

Because the dealer that has the car you want knows they have the more desirable configuration.

buy the car from the dealer that you want and have them ship it to your dealer.

Default After all the crap I went thru to get a TTS, I discovered TTS's are a bit of a pain to land right

now.
No worth while leasing programs exist and you'll need a big chunk of money down or look at a massive payment every month. But with that being said, I also found the dealers are just as frustrated because their not selling any! It's too bad,, there's some really really nice TTS's out there right now just sitting collecting dust. I know this might suck but only a little,, just go after (have your dealer help search) for a 09 2.0 Quattro set-up the way you want. Maybe they can find you something close to you're needs and take the trade-in as well. Also from what I've found, dealers are making darn good deals on almost anything else.

Default Thats the thing, I am happy with the numbers my dealer put together for my TTS

Problem is they can't get me the car. They have 2 TTS there but one of them will sit there for a long time, it is the orange with black/orange interior. It just won't really sell in my area and I am sure no other dealer will want that car. I actually like my dealer and want to buy a car from them. Just sucks that another dealer doesn't want to get rid of their car. You would think that in this economy they would rather get rid of a car in their inventory, to stop paying on that car, order a new one for when it might sell in nicer weather.

If you don't mind me asking... What was your dealer able to do for you, number-wise? I like my dealer, but I'm not so sure that I'm getting a good deal in this market.
