Volkswagen Saco

I was in the market for a new Passat in February of 2010. I bought my last VW from Prime so they were in the running. My initial contact with Prime was positive. However, I did a review concerning the last I bought my last VW from Prime so they were in the running. My initial contact with Prime was positive. However, I did a review concerning the last car I bought from them. The review was rather neutral but the overall rating was over three stars. Prime did not like the review. I guess it was too honest for them. Instead of trying to redeem themselves and trying to win me back they used a technicality to get the review removed. To be honest I don't want to work with a dealer who isn't willing to work if something goes wrong. Instead of doing what was right, Prime did what was easy. Not only did they lose the sales this time because of their actions but they lost my business for good. More

This is the third car I have purchased from these folks and the first new one. I appreciate that Rich contacted me ( he was the salesman I originally bought from 10 years ago ) and we moved forward in a ti and the first new one. I appreciate that Rich contacted me ( he was the salesman I originally bought from 10 years ago ) and we moved forward in a timely manner to get the new car. Mike spent a lot of time going over the new car's features( and survived my test driving!! ) and I left feeling that he went above and beyond to answer my questions about the new car. Derek was also very friendly and polite and informative when it came the actual purchase and I am now glad to have had the protectant applied to the car before I left. I have vast experience with the current Service Department Team and my experience of them is that they are friendly, honest and probably glad that I now have a new vehicle! I also want to acknowledge the mechanics who kept my 99 Jetta going so long and also Justin, the current Service Manager for his integrity with the last work that was done on that car. I have had nothing but the best from this great "team" and I seriously, can't thank each and everyone of you enough for all your help over the years! Sales & Service at Prime VW Saco = A+ & #1 Sincerely, Margo More

It was time to renew my lease. I stopped at the dealership a to pick up a brochure on the new Jettas. At that time I spoke with Mike Sweret. He called me later that day and told me he would work dealership a to pick up a brochure on the new Jettas. At that time I spoke with Mike Sweret. He called me later that day and told me he would work with me in getting me into a new lease. When I returned two days later he worked out an excellent new lease for me with free maintenance service with a 39 month lease at an affordable price. He had a car ready for me to go with all the features I wanted in a few hours. He was very informed about the car I wanted and was very professional and courteous and not high pressure. My entire experience was very pleasant. More

Alex was very professional and knowlegdable. I know he worked very hard to process the "cash for clunker" deal for us. The whole deal was painless, and worth the trip from Lewiston. The staff at Prime u worked very hard to process the "cash for clunker" deal for us. The whole deal was painless, and worth the trip from Lewiston. The staff at Prime understood that I could only afford a certain monthly payment and made it work. Thanks Alex and staff. More

I went to Prime to purchase a car and have been looking for a few weeks. I had found one on their website and they told me that was the one I was test driving. After I test drove it I was shocked to find o for a few weeks. I had found one on their website and they told me that was the one I was test driving. After I test drove it I was shocked to find out that they car I wanted to test drive and the one I did were not the same. Then, I decided to try to work with them on price. They told me MSRP - MSRP and gave no room for negotiating the price. I had my own financing lined up and they told me that that meant nothing and that they gain a kick-back from the financial lenders. So the fact that I had been pre-approved meant nothing to them. They hold your keys to your trade-in - making you feel trapped until they give them back. Then they tell you one last time, they will check with the manager. I went to Prime mainly because I had bought a car from Prime Nissan in 1997 and had a very good experience. I will not go back and I would not recommend them to anyone. The whole expereince was a dissapointment. More

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how "out of our face" all of the professionals are that work at the Prime VW dealership. We were treated with respect and we also felt confidant regarding their our face" all of the professionals are that work at the Prime VW dealership. We were treated with respect and we also felt confidant regarding their knowledge base. All in all it was a very pleasant experience. We felt they worked with us and not against us. Keep up the good work ladies and gentleman. I say ladies because I know that a lady worked at cleaning up the car. She did a super job! More
