I had the pleasure of driving a company vehicle VW Jetta for 2 months during Oct/Nov. 2014. I wasn't in the market for a car, but I fell in love with its solid construction, tough handling, and great gas mileage. When it was time to pass it on, I knew I was hooked. I had to have one. In my search, actually on Craig's list, I came across Concierge Autos and "www.yourtdiguy.com." Compared to other listings, the car seemed attractively priced, and I especially like the detailed photos--even of some of the minor flaws (a nick on the door trim, and a slight paint mark on the front bumper). I called and spoke with Daryl and he was extremely pleasant, he answered all of my questions, and arranged to meet me to see the car... on a Saturday night at 5:00 !! I drove down from Dripping Springs to San Antonio, and actually arrived at about 5:45, and he was there with a huge smile and keys in hand.
The car was exactly as it had appeared in the pictures. All 30+ of them. It handled great, and was immaculately cleaned and really like new, despite the fact that it was about 2 years old with 68k miles. He knew all about the car, and was friendly and a real gentleman. He never pressured me and disclosed things I even forgot to ask about the car, its history, and what different things meant on the CarFax report, etc.
I gave him a deposit, and came back about 4 days later. In the meantime, he had taken it to the VW dealer to have a 100 point inspection, get a recall notice checked out and dealt with, touched up one totally minor thing that I asked him to do, arranged for all of the registration and filings with the DMV, and threw in some luggage holders and filled it with gas.
I haven't bought a car in about 14 years. This was a big deal for me, and I was like anyone, pretty apprehensive. but dealing with Daryl was about as good as it gets when buying a car. Daryl really is now, "my TDI guy." read more
