Imagine my surprise when a $200 check arrived in the mail for referring a friend to salesperson Daniel. Friend ended up purchasing a new VW. At first I was confused and thought the payment was some fake check-looking voucher for service discounts or something, but then I saw my pal's name in the memo section. How cool is that? He had taken a shuttle from Tucson to pick up his new Golf and the dealership even got him from the airport.
I love Carlos G's "high-stakes grab ass" comment! This dealership doesn't do that dance. I found out they have many people from out of state that purchase cars here for this reason, as flying in for a fixed "best price" is cheaper than playing chicken with a salesman in California, Colorado, etc.
Big thanks for the referral reward (aka "covering this month's car payment").
