Just give redlyne (Ryan) a call. He's offering the same deals to everyone on Beyond.

I will give him a call and try to get the same deal.

Sounds great to have loaded Golf!

The deal just kept getting better so I decided to bite.

Closed a deal with Redlyne today on a Golf Comfortline fully loaded. Yes fully loaded there were only 3 options (auto, convenience, light/sound package) haha

I am impressed with what VW packaged into the car, turbo 170hp, leather, panoramic sunroof, bi-xenon, sound system, navigation, backup camera etc. Lots of goodies

Yes I contemplated both the GTi and the R but you know things can get out of hand quickly.

I can't speak on other dealers but based on my two previous purchases, 10-GTi from Northland, 12-TDi from SCFC, I highly doubt they will give you the deal without some negotiating or hookups.

Anyway just sharing my experience with the og chatroom manwhore. He gives you a price and tells you to have a good day. It's straightforward. You can go home and do your homework etc. if you think it isn't a deal.

Highline would have been the fully loaded Golf no?

Lots of guys going up to Red Deer to get VWs. I drove another members new GTI this weekend.
For that money there's nothing else in the segment that's as good overall. I think it's funny VW rates the car at 210 hp.

The Audi package was different from the VW one when I signed up last night.

1. $500 in dealership credit(no change).
2. 3 Years additional roadside assistance(no change).
3. 2 Free scheduled maintenance services.

The free scheduled maintenance could be worth much more than a $500 Visa, if they allow you to choose when to use it. Save it for a major service and you saved yourself 100's of dollars. But I kind of wish I had the flexibility on how to spend that Visa gift card.

Well since I don't think there is DSG in TDI's, it's probably $400 oil change or a bit more if transmission service is involved.

Still better than $500 tho.

But given Audi TDI is more expensive than VW and same % drop means bigger losses, so throwing in more expensive services make sense.

I have DSG in my 2014 and I had DSG in my 2009 Jetta. Are you talking Audi only?

Wow didn't know they pair TDI with DSGs. That's worth it for the $700-$1000 transmission service every 50-60k.

Geez, I remember when riceeater was in over his head doing carbon fiber wraps back when I drove the Neon.

Memories... Memories of a time before killramos, Sugarphreak and HiTempGuy.

been around since albertacars.net. At that time I was actually posting about cars instead of the old man ranting at the world crap that I'm doing now. Maybe making it this far without being banned is somewhat of a badge of honor :p

I'm still disappointed at my user rating which was due to me inappropriately bumping a for sale thread by mistake like 10 years ago lol

[max_boost]

Dude your old man ranting at the world crap is legit.
