Get this garbage from a certain well known dealer in the inner west when you are selling a car.....

Hi!

I am Gerry Urbina and I would like to extend greetings to you on-behalf of Barloworld Volkswagen Five Dock ¿ the largest newly-established Volkswagen dealership in the Southern Hemisphere. Our dealership has been in operations for only two (2) months now and we would like to earn your business! Therefore, I am inviting you to take advantage of our ¿Fast Start Bonus¿ promotion. What is this Fast Start Bonus? Basically, Barloworld Five Dock management has decided to allocate funds initially meant to be spent on advertising and promotion towards writing up new business and paying more for your trade-in! So if you are interested in trading-in your old vehicle for an exciting new or quality pre-owned Polo, Golf, Beetle, Jetta, Passat, Eos, or Touareg take advantage of this promotion now! Contact me now on (02) 8745 3222 to arrange for a valuation or even better; visit us at 155 Parramatta Road Five Dock. And remember, when you think Volkswagen think Barloworld Five Dock.

toss isnt it???......so I answered in an email...

Hi Gerry

So what does this sales bollocks means to me then Gerry??...because all I read is some desperate sales guy pitching and nothing at all to do with the sale of my VW.....so cut the crap fella.

You are a sales guy that doesn't know shit about VW heritage and history and wants me to buy a car off of you?????....are you mad...did the HSC's take your braincells out?

This is blatant Spam from a person that could only care less about the figures and not the car.....so do me a favour...piss off.
I thought your dealership meant more than this....but obviously not....I know about this...and now thanks to you ....all my friends do as well.....good advert eh??

Quit with the Spam mate......its pathetic and above you.....though I guess not.

Seems like a new low has been reached by VW.

Not impressed at all..


Cheers
BP

Sticking it to the man, nice.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

hehehehehe...:thumb

Cannot fathom as yet why I havent as yet got a reply from my "mate" Gerry......? , anyone wonder why?

Seriously though...sometimes I can be a right pain in the arse of sales guys...my favourites are the Indian call centres usually....

What I do is mock up either a murder going on in the house...or a break-in....or a Police investigation when they are on the blower trying to tell me Ive won a cruise for the grillionth time.....some of the reactions are piss-wettingly funny and I should really record em.

Don't get me wrong Ive got nothing against folks trying to earn a living.....but please be a bit more inventive when your trying to sell me something.

If you knew anything about running a business, you would know that sales less expences equals profit. I hate to be a kill joy, but unless you actually went into see Gerry, you are only making assumptions about what he has to offer. He hasn't contacted you because you are a time waster which only adds to his expenses which means he has to charge higher prices to real customers to maintain his profit margin. When I recieve unsolicited calls i politely tell them that I am not interested, and if they persist I rudely hang up. After all they are only trying to earn a living. Please stop hanging shit on people and try and do something positive with your life.
Dave.

Your reply to an unoffensive email seems to make no sense at all, I cannot read anywhere in his approach to you anything bad about VW's of any age or type.
I must ad that your reply was very Badly written and showed very little command of the english language, I can only then assume you are either very young or just plain illiterate, or both, in which case you could be forgiven for writing this dribble.

Hey Hey BloodyPom,
I cannot for the life of me understand why you are paying out on this guy for trying to drum up a bit of business, unlike you he seems to be niether rude nor totaly uneducated, ah well it takes all types I suppose,
no cheers on this one from me,
Al.

I can understand. If you are a spammer, telelmarketer or junkmailer and knowingly do something you know pisses off the majority of the population, you had better be wearing your bullet proof vest. It wont be long until you get a spray. Fact of life.

Your bang on correct , I never ever went in to see Gerry , if ever I walk into a car dealers its to buy a car and not waste their time.
As I said everyone has to make a crust but spamming folks inbox isn't really the way to go about it , so he has contacted me...and probably every other poor sod out there who had their VW advertised on a certain website , its that which I objected to....simple as....I have had no prior dealings with these guys whatsoever....if I did I would wander in and see the guy I would tick one of those boxes which says "please contact me by email" or "please leave me alone".

Ok..so its open season on your email inbox for spammers then?.
Because basically that's all it came down to with these guys.

I'm not taking away anything for him trying to drum up business,far from it,but there are easier and probably better ways of doing it without alienating folks out there with spam.


Its 'inoffensive' by the way, not that I'm into digging.

Have a good'un !
