What a great experience with Benzel Busch NJ
So its a bit of a story but worth the read. About two years ago I sold my vw and decided its time to save for my dream car. A white c63 sedan. Well a year went by and that time came around where I was ready to order it. I live in Staten Island NY so the first dealer I tried was Ray Catena in Edison NJ. My friend had bought numerous cars there (In all seriousness over 1M worth) and they didn't really have much interest in helping me. Never got any phone calls returned and just got blown off. This happened with a few dealers and Rallye Motors was the WORST out of all of them. Keep in mind I just turned 21 two weeks ago so I was 20 at the time so I guess people just see a young kid and think its a joke. Well after calling about 5 other dealerships within a 1 hour drive, I finally got in touch with the right person. Giovanni Barbaro at Benzel Busch. The first time I called him and told him what I have been going through trying to order a car he said he could take care of me and took my deposit to order the car and sent me a confirmation email within 5 minutes. The car was ordered on december 2nd. I told Giovanni that I had to have the car latest by May 5th as I have a car show to attend in Helen GA that I am leaving for on the 15th of May. Well he kept his word and the car was here on May 3rd. He always kept me updated (he gave me his personal cell # and told me I can contact him literally whenever I want). I would HIGHLY recommend dealing with him and Benzel Busch for any purchases if you live in the tri state area. Here are a few pics of my old and new. Yes its a big upgrade lol.
Old car was a 2003 GTI 20th anniversary in Jazz Blue with a full shaved bay, wire tuck and R32 motor swap. Car was on air suspension and had everything shaved such as emblems, antenna, side markers etc.. Became a show car since It had no AC, wipers or even a full hood haha.
And the new car.Polar white with LSD, Multimedia, Keyless Go and Lighting.
Will be adding exhaust, coils, and wheels this week. Along wit having the calipers painted.
