Hello Everyone, My wife and I are looking to purchase '01 Passat GLS. The only options we are interested in are the Monsoon System and Luxury Package. Wondering what we could expect to pay for the car? I have priced the invoice cost as follows: Passat GLS 5spd : $19,519 Luxury Pkg : $ 1,369 Monsoon : $ 287 Destination : $ 525 ------------------------- Total : $21,700 To be honest with you, I am not really sure how popular Passat's are, but I certainly don't see too many of them on the road here in Phoenix. Are VW dealers known to be easy to deal with when it comes to price negotiating? Not sure if if $300 over invoice would be pushing it? I would love to get this car for $22,000 before TTL. What do you think? |

US launch of the 2001.5 Passat will be at the Detroit Show in early January...in the Showrooms February with Six new colors and the 280HP engine coming late Spring/Early Summer...just for you. I have all the prices...email me if you wish... PS |

I didn't realize that '01 Passat's have side curtain airbags. This is great! Looks like crash tests were really good too. Since you're a VW dealer maybe you can help me answer another question about the 2001.5 model? Looks like there's going to be some minor changes to the car. Can someone factory order a 2001.5 model now or arrange for a European delivery of the newer model? My wife & I are planning our vacation for next year, and the thought of picking up a new VW in Germany and driving on the autobahns would be a lot of fun! |

Good Morning...Full set of pix available at the following address vwvortex.com Full story as well. We will *probably* make European delivery available again later in 2001...I will post that at westerVW.com as soon as I know for sure. And I have the order codes & pricing will fax to you if you wish...send an email to westerVW |

I thought I had the *redesign* pricing, but it is just the order codes & colors (11) Sorry about that... |

| I'm buying a new 2001 passat GLS V6 with the leather pkg & monsoon system. I'm working with dealers in Minneapolis and they seem to be having trouble finding this model w/these options and they are trying to sell me the luxury package in addition and I don't want the luxury pkg. (saying it is easier to find with both the luxury & leather pkgs.) Has anyone else run into this situation? And has anyone worked with any dealers in Minneapolis?? | |

From my recollection, Very few of these cars are ordered in reality with just leather. Generally, cars are ordered with the Lux pkg due to the moonroof and alloy wheels. Also, the initial cost will repay itself at resale/trade-in time. Bill |

I got my passat GLS v6 one month ago at a really decent price. List some info below, might be help for you guys. Invoice: $21,642 (GLS V6 base, 5M) Lux Pkg: $1,325 Des Cha: $525 ---------------- Total : $23,492 ---------------- I paid : $23,500 ................ Only 8$ over invoice!! If you can locate a Heritage dealer near you, go ahead, they have 1 cent over invoice again. And don't forget print $100 coupon from www.mileone.com (I forgot that BTW, I bought a 2000 model. But I'm pretty sure you can get the same deal on 2001 models. Actually I only reduce $200 from the dealer's initial price and he accepted that! (I should ask for more...) Anyway, it's already a good deal. I'm really satisfied. Good luck on your shopping! |

VW dealers in late September were getting a $750 rebate on some 2000 Passat wagons that was not disclosed to customers. But this week I got a new 2000 GLS V6 Wagon, 5sp, luxury and cold wx packages w/Monsoon, MSRP $27,130 for $24,353! I had 3 dealers begging to sell me that car. Now is a great time to buy a 2000 wagon. Nice car. |

Mr. Maloney, FYI, Volkswagen does not offer rebates, cash back to customers, I do not believe any German MfG. does. This site has posted under *Incentives* on the Home page, all manufacturers Incentive Programs. It is not a matter of VW not disclosing these, but you're failure to ask... There is either a discounted APR thru VCI or Cash discount on the car. The dealer, however, loses the *incentive* if the customer elects to avail himself of the *special rates*. Things are not always so mysterious or secretive as we would like to think. Enjoy your Great Car... |
