VW inventory search has a specific checkbox for 'driver assist'.
It shows available cars that meet my search criteria when checked.
Dealer tells me that driver assist is an 'order only' option, and that it would be close to impossible to get a 2017 with it.
Doesnt make much sense to me why inventory would show up with driver assist checked.

You should be able to find them in the dealer lot even though VW webpage says its order only.

Dealers more times than not...are full of shit. Go to multiply dealers if you can.

this.

Unfortunately only a few people at each dealership have any idea what's actually going on with their inventory. Lots of people who work at dealerships just make sh*t up so they can get off the phone and get back to hanging around.

My point....is that the VW site inventory search is misleading at best.

I am aware of the issues with dealers - my wife just got an autobahn (manual). I walked in ready to get an autobahn DSG for myself also - no driver assist (which the vw site led me to believe it had) was a deal breaker.
