Message from the Owner

During my years (wow, three decades worth) in the car business, I have witnessed radical changes in the way customers shop for Volkswagens, Porsches, Audis, and especially used cars. The Internet has become an invaluable tool for customers to use while shopping. Unfortunately, with troubling regularity, customers are misled while price shopping for cars over the Internet.

We understand that, to some of you, buying a new car can be a dreaded experience, due in large part to the negotiation process. You want it to be quick and easy -- and so do we. Automobile transactions have become more complex than they were in the past. Payments and terms are now more difficult to quote accurately because of changes in banking laws. Different states have different regulations on full disclosure. For example, did you know that in Maryland, new car dealers are not required to include "freight charges" in their quoted prices? Oh, they still charge for freight...but they are not required to add it in while advertising. A PA consumer may find that a MD dealer is neglecting to tell you about some charges until you're signing on the dotted line. When it comes to advertising payments, many are quoting monthly payments or even final cash prices where an arbitrary trade in value is given, or large cash down payments are being used to lure customers with low payment advertising.

So here's the deal. Rather than just compare Internet prices and figure your research is done, do yourself a favor and stop by our store. Ask for one of our product specialists. Give us the opportunity to deliver our best deal. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If we can save you money and deliver you the exact Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi or pre-owned vehicle you are looking for, then you win. If we can't, then you'll have peace of mind knowing you were offered our best deal, and we'll wish you the best of luck.

Once you take your first step into our Manheim Pike facility, we know you'll immediately understand. We believe our automobiles are special, and buying one should be a special and fun-filled occasion. We ask that your car buying experience take place at our facility, face-to-face, so that we may eliminate any possible confusion regarding the terms of the transaction. Experience has proven that this is the best way for us to meet this goal. We're not part of a big multi-state franchise. It's just us. We have lasted this long because we treat customers fairly.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to meeting with you soon. You have made a great choice by shopping for a new Volkswagen, Porsche or Audi. Now complete the process -- come in, get to know us, and get the best deal you'll find anywhere.

Thank You,
Tom Wanner, President
