Platinum Volkswagen

I looked at two other car makers and went to one other VW dealer in Huntington which was horrible. I almost gave up on VWs because of the way they treated me. But I really wanted a new Jetta. Fortunately, I dealer in Huntington which was horrible. I almost gave up on VWs because of the way they treated me. But I really wanted a new Jetta. Fortunately, I discovered Platinum VW and my salesman, Joe Riccobene. I can honestly say that Platinum and especially Joe, gave me the best car buying experience I have ever had. They are kind, gentlemen, respectful and know their stuff. I got everything I wanted in my Jetta and the deal was more than fair. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! More

I was interested in purchasing a new Jetta for my daughter and inadvertently filled out an online request with one of the referral services. I was contacted, by email and telephone, by four different daughter and inadvertently filled out an online request with one of the referral services. I was contacted, by email and telephone, by four different dealers in the tri-state area, one of whom was Frank Messina, internet sales manager of Platinum Volkswagan. I had previously obtained dealer invoice, cost, MSRP & best price numbers from truecar.com, so I was already an informed buyer. My first, and last (as it turns out) impression of Frank Messina was that he was friendly, honest, knowledgeable and straight-forward. His initial offer was a good price, but not the best. Another dealer (in White Plains) gave me a better price and I was ready to make the deal. I contacted Frank, as a courtesy, to let him know that I was buying the car elsewhere. To my surprise, he worked with the General Manager and the owner to make an offer that was significantly below dealer cost...$17,000 plus tax and DMV. I then contacted the White Plains dealer who assured me that the Platinum price was unrealistic and only a ploy to get me in the door ( he wouldn't even split the difference...a matter of a few hundred dollars, to save me the trip from Westchester to Hicksville); that they would increase the price when I arrived with hidden fees. My instincts told me to trust Frank and I am glad that I did. When I arrived at the Platinum volkswagan dealer, I met Frank and Josh, the owner, and found that the offer was true; the paperwork was done, the insurance was in place and they did the DMV work right at the dealer...WOW! They had offered 0.9% financing, over the phone, that I thought was a teaser rate...wrong again; I was given the 0.9% financing!!!!! We drove away with the car within hours!!! The car is costing me $291.00/month for 66 months. WHAT A DEAL!!!!!!. You may not get exactly the same price from them, but you will get the best deal available...guaranteed!! I highly recommed Platinum Volkswagen and Frank Messina. They are honest, honest, HONEST! More

I recently purchased a diesel VW from Platinum VW, and I have to admit that Nick Drasby is the most knowledgeable sales consultant I have ever met at a dealership. It is always nice to bump into an automobi have to admit that Nick Drasby is the most knowledgeable sales consultant I have ever met at a dealership. It is always nice to bump into an automobile enthusiast, but to find one at a car dealership is quite uncommon. Nick is the only sales person at a dealership ever to actually enlighten me on a fact or specification about a car that I did not already know. I was aware that the Golf was manufactured in Europe and the Jetta Sedan was assembled for our market in Mexico. I wrongly assumed that the Jetta Sportwagen was also made in Mexico for us, when in fact the Jetta Sportwagen for the U.S. market is made in Germany and usually dubbed a Golf Estate in other markets rather than as a Jetta. This makes a difference to interior quality as the Mexican made Jetta is aimed at a lower price point. Incidentally, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the Mexican made Jetta sedan, and it is a good value if you are looking for a less expensive vehicle. Suffice it to say that Nick Drasby is also very personable and he showed courage during my father's very exciting test drives (I try to take it easy on the sales staff by driving as I would for my grandmother). He kept in contact and helped me navigate the various mine fields of vehicle purchasing, and we concluded a very fair and honest deal on the right vehicle for my needs. Highly recommended. More

Platinum Volkswagon offered a no pressure, easy car buying experience. Our salesman, Joe, showed us the car we came in to inquire about.

He was knowledgable about the vehicle's specifications and history. We took a test drive with both my wife and myself taking turns driving. Joe answered all of our questions regarding price and options. The overall experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone interested in purchasing or leasing a new or used vehicle. More

Between my Salesperson, Nick Drasby and the Sales Manager, Dave Quintero - I am so happy with how everything turned out, I cannot thank them enough. This was my second experience with Platinum since Manager, Dave Quintero - I am so happy with how everything turned out, I cannot thank them enough. This was my second experience with Platinum since I already had a lease with them. It was just as easy as the first time. By Far the best Volkswagen Dealership in Nassau County. They treat you more like Family then just an everyday Customer. My salesman Nick Drasby was very accommodating and helpful in making my decision. He gave me all the information i needed to figure out which Model I wanted to lease. He continues to provide excellent service and making sure I am enjoying my new car. Thanks guys I love my new 2012 Passat! :) More
