2019 GTI 6MT Stalling Issue

Thought you were replying to my comments regarding extraterrestrials.
Meh I'm probably just going to stick with my 2018. I don't drive too many miles so it should last me a while. Every car I've owned I've bought used I always get the urge to have a brand new one but then I think of all the stuff I could buy for my 2018 with a tiny fraction of the money.
The dealer salesman just emailed me today and told me if I buy the 2019 whenever I want to trade it in they will give me fair market value (ignoring the branded title). Do you think that makes it more acceptable?

It helps but you would be at the mercy of that dealer if you decide to trade it in later.
Yeah I emailed the guy back and asked if they would put that in writing lol

What if the sales guy who gave the word (in writing) leaves the dealership?
There are tons of dealers who would give great deals through email or phone but the numbers would change once you step into the dealership. You have a dealer giving a word on buying back this vehicle in future!? Unless otherwise i have a good realtionship with the dealership, its an agreement written on water. Also, fair market value is very subjective.

This is a random sales guy. I would want something tied into the contract papers rather than a one line email.
It's a 2019 SE with about 600 miles. They are selling it for about 6K less than a brand new one.
My first thought was will they give fair market value for a car with a clean title or fair market value for a car with a branded title? You also would be in a position where you are pretty much locked into buying from that dealer.
That being said we love our Rabbit and haven’t had an issue since the first month. If you’re to keep it a while it could be a good deal.
Fair market value as if it had a clean title. They emailed me back again today and said I could trade it in or sell it to them and the same would apply.

It sounds like a good deal but you're still at their mercy to determine fair market value. If they would tie it in the Kelly Blue Book value it would help. If the dealership will put it in writing not by an individual but the dealership itself I would do the deal.

I would buy it but plan on keeping it long enough that depreciation would make it not worth much anyways...however, why buy the same car again? Is there a reason you are getting rid of yours (sorry if I missed it and too lazy to go back and look)
This entire tread went to sh*t in a few months.
new to the forum but wanted to add my 2 cents.
Bought 19 SE 6MT in april at 16miles. I inquired about the ECU flash for stalling issues and he showed me the car had indeed the flash update. Nearing 3000 miles and have not had a single stalling. Maybe it did fix it? Veyr happy with the car.
