Livingston Volkswagen or Volkswagon? Who cares?!

OK, I just noticed that I get a few hits here from my misspelling of Volkswagon in a previous post. So, since there are a few people reading this looking for info on Livingston Volkswagen in Woodland Hills, California. I'll tell my final story about those dicks.

This year I FINALLY got to turn in my leased Passat Wagon to Livingston Volkswagen in Woodland Hills (repeated ad nauseam for better search results). Here's the deal. When I leased the car, it was used. There was a small dent on the right rear fender and after MUCH haggling, they leased it to me as is at a lower rate. The idea was that they wouldn't have to fix the dent and neither would I if I didn't feel like it. Just return it the way I took it. Sounds great right?

Well, after four years and many problems (with the car and their horrible service department) I had the car inspected and returned it to the dealership. I was expecting them to pull out the old paperwork so they could see that the dent was there when I got it and we could take that charge off of the inspection sheet so I wouldn't have to pay for it. One convenient problem though. NO RECORD OF THE DAMAGE! You're kidding me, right? Nope.

It seems that the fine folks at Livingston Volkswagon (Volkswagen) in Woodland Hills, California never kept a record of the damage even though we haggled about it for six hours the night I leased the car. How convenient is that for them. Now, this is just my educated opinion, but I think those fuckers are shady over there. My opinion. Really, did I mention that this is my opinion?

So, of course The dealership is connected in no way with Volkswagen themselves so it's easier for both of them to tell you that you have to take it up with the other. That was fun too. The dealership says, take it up with Volkswagen and Volkswagen tells you to talk to the dealer.

So add to the damage and a few small charges like my stolen owners manual and the broken mirror adjustment knob (a total pice of shit that had to be made so it would break) the $200 return fee? and my bill to give them thier car back was just under $600.

Oh, did I mention that I returned the car 17,000 miles UNDER the alloted milage I paid for? They don't care about that. SO if you lease a car from Livingston Volkswagon (Volkswagen) in Woodland Hills, California, and I STRONGLY advise against it, make sure you drop it off with no gas and all the milage used up. You may as well get something out of all the shitty service you're going to endure throughout the life of your lease.

Cheers!
