UPDATE: See below for our full review of Nick at Driveline but just wanted to leave an update. We have now driven the car approximately 25,000 miles from the time of purchase (when it had about 20,000 miles on it) and it is still performing flawlessly. We have done routine maintenance on it but have not had any other troubles. Car has taken us on road trips from San Diego to Oregon, San Diego to Monterrey, San Diego to Sequoia, no trouble on any of the trips. Only thing we have had to do is wash it what with all the miles and dust. Very satisfied customers here :-).
We have been very pleased with our purchase from Driveline Motors. About 6 months ago my wife and I purchased a 2011 VW Jetta SportWagen with a salvage title. We were initially hesitant to purchase a salvage because we didn't what kind of quality we would get. Nick at Driveline was very helpful, however, accomodating the mechanic we hired to preview the car and everything checked out beautifully, just as described in the listing we found.
When we drove up to meet with Nick and give the car a test drive ourselves, he was very courteous and thoughtful. He took the time to go through the various features of the car, allowed us a test drive, and when we decided to purchase, was very deliberate and methodical in working through all the paperwork involved. He described all the fees that would be assessed with the purchase and we were very pleased to find out that these were worked into the agreed upon cost of the car (nothing else added on top). He was also able to give us very accurate estimates of DMV fees that would be required so we were not blindsided by anything.
After purchasing, I wanted to drive the car for a while before leaving a review. We have now been driving for 6 months (about 7,000 miles) including a recent trip from San Diego to Grant's Pass, Oregon and the car has been FABULOUS. We haven't had any trouble whatsoever. The engine has performed well, the nav system is wonderful, as far as we can see, the body of the car is in beautiful condition (no post-buy "surprises"), we have been extremely satisfied with this purchase.
Summary: Nick sold us a solid car at a bargain deal. We would not hesitate to recommend this dealer.
