	Fortunately, I had decided on a VW rabbit LONG before I set
    my foot in the dealership, but the people at my VW dealer
    (Lewis VW, Santa Cruz) were courteous, helpful, not pushy,
    and insisted on my taking a test drive even though it would
    be a month before I could afford the down payment.
	Sure, there was the ususal "here is why this car is better
    than anything ever created since time began" stuff, but they
    didn't actually lie about anything.
	I also found that Honda & Volkswagen dealers both had
    a lot of respect for eachothers cars and honestly compared
    advantages & disadvantages of each -- Hondas are cheaper,
    VWs are better road machines, etc.  and both seemed to agree
    that nothing else in the various classes of cars measured up
    to either VW or Honda.
	Since buying the car, the salespeople have continued to be helpful.
    Every time any of them sees me, he stops & asks how the car is
    doing, etc.
	The service people, on the other hand..........
