Finally buying the 2012 Cruze

[NYChevoo]

Hey all, well I'm going to do it finally! I'm getting the 2012 Jetta. Anyway not abandoning the forums here permanently. Still have the 2007 Aveo 5 Hatchback and no I'm not going to dissappear into the VW Vortex like some other people or any other forums. The only downside? I need to sell my sedan for the downpayment. See the for sale section for big money savings!

Just a quick update on everything. I did not buy it in NY where I live. I ended up using a VW Audi of Newton,NJ. Very nice people in there and very close to where I work. Anyway papers were signed on it tonight and should be picking up the car on Friday 12/23. The payments were no where near as bad I as I thought they were going to be and I got a great finance rate, no money down and I get to keep my Aveo sedan as a daily driver still. The Jetta is candy white with a charcoal interior. I didnt go nuts on the car. I bought the Jetta S as I am only using it for a commuter car and I got it in a 5 speed stick. Still plenty peppy for me eventhough my friend Gregg who has the R32 calls my 2.0 liter the 2.SLOW motor.

Everyone calls it the 2.slow but its a popular VW engine that they had to "bring back"

Sounds like you'll enjoy it, where do you park those 5 cars of yours?

I have a 3 car garage with 2 sitting outside. Wow! Talk about multicar insurance discounts! Anyway, another update to fill you all in on. I got all the paperwork from the dealer Fed-Ex'd to my home and it arrived this morning. The numbers we had agreed upon and the numbers I recieved from the bank were two completely different circumstances. Car price, Interest rate had been padded and $1400 in un-needed and non-necessary supposedly called "documentation fees". I mean I'm 47 yrs old and have been around the block many times over the years in different cars. So this brings me to a new thing. I went to the regular Chevrolet dealership that I have been going to for many years looked at a new Sonic Sedan and decided I wanted something bigger. Long story short may I introduce you all to my new 2012 Cruze Eco with the 1.4L Turbo motor and 6spd manual transmission. Still getting my new car as planned. Just make and model have changed!

Please dont take my drivetrain! its the only one I got! Anyway picking it up Thursday 12/22 after 9am. I'm all set to go and to think I managed this all today in one day at the dealership. By the way the Jetta was around $16500 and this Cruze was just shy of $19000.

First congratulations on the new car, but your story is intriguing. As I read it....

• You live in NY, but went to NJ to buy a Jetta
• You really liked the dealer, but didn't pull the trigger that day
• When the paperwork arrived, it was incorrect

Here is where i get a little lost

• You got mad and threw your hands up and said eff all of them
• you went and bought a completely different car for an additional 2500 bucks

So...

• Why didn't you contact the NJ dealer to work it out?
• Why didn't you try to get a deal at another VW dealer?
• If you were going to spend the additional chedder, why not buy the Jetta SE in the first place instead of the S? difference is night and day from S to SE

Just curious.
