I'm also looking to buy a Passat GLS 4cylinder for my wife. The ad on Sunday paper listed one with auto, lux pak and Monsoon CD chnger at $22,990. Is this a good price? could this be one of those bait-and -switch gimmicks?

I can't claim to know what that Illinois dealer charges for the 6-disc changer--or if VW has any regional association fees (usually range from $75-$100)--but that price is approximately the dealer invoice ... it constitutes a great deal.


By the word of law, the car must have existed at the time the ad was taken to press. If the car is in-stock when you show up, they are obligated to sell it for that price.


To be sure, I cannot even buy one from my own dealership for so little! Good luck pouncing on it! I hope you're not let down.

$1,000 over invoice by peatnick

is the best deal i can get on a passat glx 4motion, silver or blue anthracite with black interior in the nyc-philly area. i talked with a dozen dealers in five states so i know this is the market condition.


Question - if i wait for 2001 model year what are the chances vw lowers the msrp? DM is down 40% vs. USD ytd, vw's costs should be relatively consistent. this amounts to a 40% increase in the margin, less whatever they've hedged for currency fluctuation. i realize the only benefit to vw of lowering the msrp is to sell more passats, and vw seems to have no trouble selling everything they can build. does any of you know of any new capacity coming on line this year at wolfsburg?

2001 Passat Pricing by Car_man HOST

Peatnick, personally I really doubt that
Volkswagen will lower the price of the Passat for
the 2001 model year reguardless of what their home currency does. All of their redesigned products have been selling very well in the U.S. and have absolutely no cash incentives on them. Either some consumer or dealer cash on certain models would probably precede a price reduction and I don't see any indications that would lead me to believe that VW will introduce any new cash on its products in the near future.

I am considering the purchase of a new 2000 Passat GLS 1.8 Turbo, as follows:


Silver, black interior
Custom (aftermarket) high-grade full leather, in color of my choice.
16" GLX wheels with Michelin tires
"Luxury" package.


Price is $25,100--Southeast USA


Includes autombile relocation from nearby state, and handling for shipping to me (I don't live in the same state as this dealer).


Is this a fair price for this car???

Sorry, I omitted to add that this car is with a manual transmission (which I greatly prefer).


Thanks

A local SoCal VW dealer is advertising "$2500 off MSRP on all new Passat's in stock" with these model numbers listed: 3B24N9 and 3B24N5.


Anyone know what these model numbers refer to? Any where to find out? I've searched the web but can't find them.


In addition, they are offering the finance deal on these Passats.


FYI: The going advertised prices for GLS Passats with the AT is under $20K around Southern California. Whether you can get them for that price is another question....

Passat Price in Germany by tommyleslie

I am currently living in the states but will be moving to Germany for three years in about 10 months. Does anyone know the price of a passat in Germany? I am debating over whether to purchase the car in the states or wait until I get to Germany. I know that the Euro is down but I'm not sure if the Passat is more/less expesive in Germany. Any advice on this or where I can find extra info. would be appreciated.

I am currently in the market for a 2000 Passant and am debating between the 4 and 6 cyl GLS models. I am currently driving an 4 cyl 16 valve 87 Toyota Celica and have not had any problems over the years. Does anyone know if there really is that big of a difference between the two? I am interested in an auto trans.


ANy feedback would be appreciated.
