Simple, smooth, superb I own a daily driver but had been itching to get a fun car that, once the warranty runs out, I could have some fun modifying as working on and trackin I own a daily driver but had been itching to get a fun car that, once the warranty runs out, I could have some fun modifying as working on and tracking cars has always been a passion of mine. I was always super intrigued by the newer GTI platform as a good starting point so I spent the last year and a half looking for the right one. Last week, I stumbled across an ad for one on Car Gurus. A 2016 with really low miles, practically brand new. I stopped in for a test drive but only had an hour or so to spend there before I had to head home since my wife had a doctor appt. Most dealers would try to find ways to make you stay and be very pushy for the sale. Not North Penn. Not because they didn't want the sale but they clearly respect their customers and their customers time. Plus, I would assume that Greg Holland (the sales guy who I dealt with) had confidence that the GTI would win me over during the test drive. The GTI was from a lease so it had its maintenance done and was in solid condition. Literally like brand new. While I did my research on the car and knew a lot about it before I showed up there, Greg filled in the gaps and clearly has knowledge of the car, too. The process from beginning to end was so smooth that it was honestly incredible. I am not sure that I have ever experienced such a smooth buying process in my life. And the fact that not once was someone trying to pressure me was great. I don't cave to the pressure anyway and know the games but I genuinely felt a mutual respect. A rare thing in this day and age no matter where you are. Kudos to North Penn VW. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a VW. Look up Greg Holland, too, if you are interested in buying. I am sure the other sales folks are good too but I know for sure that Greg is fantastic and will take care of the customer. Thanks for the GTI! I have always wanted to own a GTI and North Penn helped that become a reality. More

Excellent quick service I recently leased a 2019 Jetta and I was working with Tim Notarianni and he was helpful but not pushy which I really appreciated! He was friendly and I recently leased a 2019 Jetta and I was working with Tim Notarianni and he was helpful but not pushy which I really appreciated! He was friendly and answered all my questions, and helped me really figure the car out! I also worked with Jason H who was helpful in answering all my questions about the optional add on warranties and protections! I left with a car I loved, the monthly payment I wanted, and an understanding and ability to operate the car with ease! I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy, lease, or sell their car, especially Tim and Jason! More

Excellent "new car" experience Came in to inquire about purchasing a 2018 Golf GTI S after corresponding with several dealers (including North Penn) via email. Mike Sinclair was ext Came in to inquire about purchasing a 2018 Golf GTI S after corresponding with several dealers (including North Penn) via email. Mike Sinclair was extremely helpful, answered all of my questions, and was patient as I worked through my decision. There was absolutely no sense of the "pushiness" or urgency to make a deal that you usually experience at car dealerships. After I made my decision, vehicle prep and financing was completed smoothly and quickly. North Penn was definitely one of the best new car purchasing experiences I've had. More
