Here's a plug I promised to the sales rep after yesterday's call.
===================================== We're looking into buying ANOTHER aircooled for the INFESTATION (too many bugs)....
=============================
Doing some ghetto math, I'm trying to figure out how much the bottom line of this car will be.
In our biz we hate general inquiry questions... "I was working in our garage"... "My buddy says" are all openers for long calls that don't go anywhere.
===================
Yestterday I called Wolfsburg West.
The guy who answers the phone answers my questions.
I describe the condition of the car and that I want some thumbnail estimates of what a 21 window restoration should cost.
He says... says ... count on $5k for Wolfsburg and then body work..... maybe less if you're lucky---maybe worse if it's a prom queen (looks good in the evening and ugly in the morning).
No funky questions back and fourth... no discussion of how vague the my description is.... no this part costs this much... contingent estimates.
He then continues to tell me some of the death marks on the bus and the triggers for me not to walk.
I was off the phone in 2 minutes with the answers required.
==========================
It was too easy. I'm not tickled about the $5000+body work budget... just that I could get some informed answers from a dude who cared.
=========================
Wish all the aircooled parts places were like this (including the ONE that everyone on this board creams over).
Promised blatant plug over and out.
