Gateway1 Gets a New Golf R After All!

[SchnellFowVay]

I realize that Gateway has managed to make me look like an idiot in this thread. Therefore, I will keep my original post on here, but understand that I posted it prior to having full information on the situation (which still is not reasonably available).

Original Post >>>>>>>


For you guys who mocked, etc., the DEALERSHIP, not VW, is giving him a new 2013 Golf R (his current one is a 2012. He will have to eat the lease payments he's already made on the 2012 (which is fine, since he's had use of the car), but he gets a brand new 2013 in a few months.

Just goes to show: it never hurts to advocate on your own behalf (as I have been saying all along). He acted professionally, told the truth, and he got the benefit of so doing.

If anything, glad the techs who did this are taught a lesson.

But can his nav find his house?

How is this some kind of victory again?

- Owner gets mad the dealership scuffed "his" car. ("His" used lightly, since it was a lease.)
- Dealership leases owner a new R, and gets a gently used R to resell for even more profit.

That'll teach them!

[WakusPakus]

so the guy cried about a scratch on a car he doesn't even own....and got another car he doesn't even own.


yeah...not a win. i'd say...a tool who played himself.

Yeah, sounds like the dealership won this round.
Not that it really mattered to the dude, he did not care about the car enough to even inspect it before signing the lease.

Maybe he will learn this time.

This isn't the same Gateway who used to own a 337 and a GTO, is it?

Owned outright or not, he still owns it for the period in question.

Would YOU want a scratch on a brand new car?

Win-Win right there. Customer thinks he is getting a deal. Dealer is getting a deal. Dealer has it MUCH better though.

[Mosbius Designs]

yes, its me luckydog.

and it was a purchase you fools.

And the whole time your attention-whore ass was trying to tell us that you'd get it swapped for nothing.

You're a joke.

Not to get off topic......
but possession and ownership are two different things

[ThreadBomber]

Exactly.

They are only doing this because it costs them less money.

[MatchStick]

your ownership claim is no more or less with a lease compared to traditional financing.

the only question you need to ask re: actually owning the car is if the title is in your possession or not.

[WakusPakus]

no, but i sure as h*** wouldn't cry about it like this. it's a scratch on a bumper. oh god...i think the car won't drive now.

if you guys buy cars to keep them pristine, then why in GODS name are you buying 30,000$ (if that) VW's?

And the whole time your attention-whore ass was trying to tell us that you'd get it swapped for nothing.

You're a joke.

gonna have to agree on this one. you seem like the type to measure your grass to make sure it's within "pretty" specifications.

[ThreadBomber]

VWoA gave the dealer a voucher to compensate for the deprecation of my vehicle.

Ok, so the dealer loses nothing. And next year all new VW's are $10 more because of you.

Thanks.

I thought so, should have realized that based on his posts

Great. So I reiterate my previous post.

[seadoo2006]

OP is an ass-hat, but that being said, I probably would've done the same thing.

[Swallow Doretti]

Eat me.

Hey, remember when you left the Vortex after someone tracked you down at your house, found evidence that you were lying about half the cars you claimed to own (not to mention a million other things), then talked to your now ex-wife about what an ass you are?

I will lose roughly 6 months worth of car payments (I've had the car 3 months and it will take 3 months for the R to get here). Which is completely understandable. Bottom line, I stand to lose $3,420 in total.

I'm confused as to how this is a win? He's out $3500, doesn't get a TTRS, adds another six months of payments, dealership gets compensated and will still sell the used car at nearly MSRP. Seems like the only person who lost was Gateway. Let the mocking continue.

[ThreadBomber]

You're paying $570 a month to lease a Golf R?

The dealership is not "giving" him a new car...

This, the dealership didn't give him anything.

called out. will be surprised if this guy responds.

he sounds like the typical Long Island..."bro".

Exactly. The dealership gets a check from VWoA and turns around and makes money selling a CPO R. They then get to sell another car making money off of that. The Gateway gets another car to continue to make payments on. There is no 'give' at all in this situation. OP is a bit overenthusiastic here.

Wow...thats just...wow.

This is when he lived in FloRida, Brah.

[ThreadBomber]

Someone needs to explain to me why this car is $570 a month to lease

[MAC]

The dealer realized that once they sell his 6 month old R they may actually come out ahead vs. paying to repair it. win - win

Derp - beaten by a full 10 minutes

[Swallow Doretti]

Well, look who it is.

Would you rather me pull up those old threads and make you look like you're full of **** right now?

Feel free. Go right ahead. Unlike you, there are about 20 people on this forum who know me in person, and actually think I'm a swell guy in limited doses. Hell, unlike you, it was me buying the beers--not my ex-spouse.

Because people like Gateway are stupid enough to sign their names on the dotted line. Twice, no less.

yup.

he still made payments against the 2012.
he will be paying for the 2013.

how did he win anything again?

he didnt 'win' ANYTHING beyond getting let out of his current lease early without a penalty. people actually get this 'win' ALL THE TIME when they go to their dealer to lease another car.

[seadoo2006]

Because people are broken in the head ... truly, I have no idea how stupid some people have to be to pay that ... Even if it was $0 due at signing, a 36-month lease still means you're plopping down $20,500+ over 3 years for a $33,000 car ...

1) You are not considering taxes.

2) It is a ~$38,000 car in most circumstances (most of the Golf R's out there are loaded up).

My wife's 2011 128i was $39,700. We pay $541/month over 36 months with a $2500 down payment.

Unless you are getting a special lease deal, this is generally what it costs to lease a new car like this.
