#1320 of 3318 Dealership recommendations for Nashville Area by kcc3 Jul 18, 2001 (9:55 am)
Can anyone recommend a VW dealership around the Nashville, TN area? I live in Middle TN and am seriously considering buying a 2001.5 GLS Wagon in the next 30 days.   I am not impressed with the local dealership. Dealership name and location withheld for the sake of being nice. This local dealership seems to be fixed on marking up the price of VW's with pin stripping, undercoating, acid rain protection, special floor mats and additional mark-up for limited availability. Recently they had 16 cars on the lot and were adding mark-up for limited availability.   Any recommendations are appreciated.

Have you tried going in and telling them you want to deal, but only on a car fresh off the truck (no dealer add-ons)? They may tell you they don't do it that way. If that's the case, walk out. But they may be willing to deal with you.

I am at Key Bank. We aren't in the Chicago area however, just from Maine to Alaska with a significant portion of the midwest (Illinois and west to Colorado) having no presence. That doesn't mean you could not do business with Key, just wouldn't be as convenient. Just depends on the type of business you conduct with your bank. About the closest location would be South Bend Indiana (which I oversee from a credit standpoint). I certainly think we treat our clients right and we are a well run bank. If you are interested, let me know and we can discuss further.   You're right about the IRS, I doubt that anyone would check that unless audited. Just not something I would do. I play it by the book. (Cant imagine taking a loan on my home in excess of the value either!!)

You got it. Sorry.
#1325 of 3318 Financial Matters by cliffyb Jul 18, 2001 (3:08 pm)
Well, I'm glad I started a meaningful discussion for once but I think the more we analyze the pros and cons of various financial decisions, the more assumptions we are making about people like clscflm's financial standing. When you start talking about 125% mortgages and the like, you break ground into an area where a responsible person is not purchasing any new car(not even our beloved passat). If a person has negative net worth, they ought to focus on changing that before any major purchase, even if their income potential is large in the long run.

I am being offered '01.5 Passat GLX (no 4 motion) Auto w/ in dash CD player for $27,750 (includes dest charge)+ TTL. Is this a good deal?   Also, what should my residual value and money factor be for a 36 month lease?   Thanks so much.   Brian
#1328 of 3318 Sorry by blane17 Jul 19, 2001 (1:22 pm)
Mileage on lease is 15k miles.
#1329 of 3318 GLX deal by isuzudave1 Jul 19, 2001 (7:38 pm)
Good deal on the GLX - and I've had mine for 375 miles. It is awesome. Real solid. Residual was 56% for 18k, 36 months, can't comment on the 15k.
