I went to Desert VW to purchase a 2009 GTI. When I got there, I told them I wanted one in black. Despite driving a black GTI at the competing VW dealer in Las Vegas that same day (and seeing several others on the lot), I was told that the only black GTI in Nevada was located in Reno (strike one for these shysters).
I drove a gray one which was nice...more upgraded than the one I was looking at, but I did consider it...until I was told that the car was $4,000 above MSRP due to an "adjusted market value."
What??? The competition VW dealer in town had zero "adjusted market value" but these guys do? This was strike two...and I didn't even wait for strike three that I knew would come shortly.
Needless to say, I walked away laughing at the nerve of these rip-offs.
