Subject:      Re: VW's Volkswagen Club

Just FAXed in my registration Wednesday due to an impending visit for a full
30k maintenance and lookover of my "new" '91. Wanted to insure that my dealer
here had a good feel for this Westy shipped back from the dealer in MN.

I had checked that they were "participating" prior to joining. When I got there
the service manager knew nothing about it, the parts manager did. After the
$345 service/parts was done I asked how the 15% discount worked. Since they
really didn't know and "had no info" they agreed to run me through the computer
with the 10% senior dsct on the whole thing. What a NICE surprise . . . they
give seniors a 10% dsct on EVERYTHING! Even if they didn't give me 15% - they
noted they gave me th 10% and said that they would ckeck into the "rules" of
the program and if it should have been 15% they will add the 5% later. I have
a sneaky suspision that they probably won't do 15% on everything, but the $39
I did save this time more than paid for the membership.
