#1350 of 3318 Deb... by vwguild Aug 07, 2001 (8:46 pm)
Yes, *All Inclusive*, to me, means Destination, Port Prep, FloorPlan INTEREST Reserve...$550.00, $25.00, & $92.00. There may also be a Regional Advertising Fee. That can vary from $5.00 to $100.00 or so. I pay none, but if it is a legit fee it will show on the Invoice in the same font as the rest of the Invoice and should be a *reasonable* amount...examples...The CD price is appropriate and if you make sure that it is installed before you take delivery it will be part of your 2002 4Year/ 50,000 Mile Bumper to Bumper Warranty.   Be aware also of ADP fees(Added Dealer Profit). VWOA pays for the Pre-Delivery Inspection of your new Passat; not the Dealer. Document Fees are fixed by each dealer and they cover the expense of taking care of your local DMV Registration and making sure that all Documents are filed properly with that Agency...We charge $45... some stores in N.J. charge $98...That should be about the ceiling...   If this is a cash transaction that pretty much covers it...If you are financing this purchase; you should go to www.equifax.com and get your FICO(Fair Isaac Score) $ 8.50 and secure your own loan through a Local Credit Union...they typically have MUCH better rates than Commercial Banks. Volkswagen Credit has NO subvented rates for any part of the carline for August, but we do have 6.99% for 24 months if you score 740+.   Anything else...email me!

The editors here at Edmunds.com just introduced their latest article on the Volkswagen Passat. I thought that I would share the link to it with everyone in this discussion: Road Test: 2001.5 Volkswagen new Passat GLS 1.8T Sedan. Enjoy!   Car_Man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards

Hey carman, a post of mine was used in the consumer commentary for the Passat. I was wondering how much I would be paid and when the check would be mailed. I know I have had better posts than that one so Im curious why my best "stuff" wasnt used. Thanks.

Mulfomi, I would be happy to forward your royalty check to your home address, just as long as you remember to send me my kick-back . Seriously though, I am not involved in the selection of which quotes are used in that particular section of this site. You may be able to get more information on how Edmunds selects the quotes that they use by e-mailing your question to editoredmunds.com.   Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards
#1354 of 3318 pricing...get this.... by cloud12 Aug 09, 2001 (1:37 pm)
All I will say is I should have walked away when I got this line...The sales person at the dealership where I bought my car told me that to get the cd player installed (not the changer - just the player in dash) would be $695.00 !!!!! I raised my voice in questioning that price since it was quoted elsewhere and all over the net as $395.00. The price for the changer on line was $695.00...they told me $395.00 is what the dealership pays for it and then they have to install it (which you and I know takes all of 10 minutes)....if I was smart I would have walked away but instead negotiated and brought the selling price down anyway but they would not give me the cd player for $395....I don't remember the exact price because they did not itemize my final bill-invoice. I really wanted to trust my dealership and subsequent to the sale and problems with the financing deal I can not recommend them. They are liars.

In the dealer's defense I think $395 sounds cheap for a factory system. We used to figure $450 cost where I sold Subarus, and it wasn't any harder to install than on a vee-dub.
#1356 of 3318 My positive purchase experience for 2002 Passat Wagon by kcc3 Aug 15, 2001 (7:40 pm)
I wanted to share a strategy that worked well for me. I contacted a few local VW dealerships and asked to speak with their Internet Sales Manager/Person. After reading many of the posts, especially ones from VW guild, I figured the internet personnel would be fairly knowledgeable and used to making deals over the phone. I got a good response from one of the dealerships and began discussing a 2002 Passat Wagon 1.8T, auto, leather, luxury, monsoon, homelink. After only 3 short phone conversations we agreed on a price of $500 over invoice + TTL. We picked up the Silverstone Gray, with black interior beauty on 7/20/01. I would recommend this strategy to friends and family.   I am know looking to add some accessories to make our car even more enjoyable.
#1357 of 3318 2002 Passat GLX by passit Aug 21, 2001 (1:10 pm)
I just bought a 2002 Passat GLX in Atlanta and paid 27,999 plus tax. I got the 5 spd manual transmission and the 6 CD changer. With the 7% tax, this came to 30k total drive out including all fees, etc.
#1358 of 3318 2002 GLX prices seem high by s852 Aug 21, 2001 (4:35 pm)
$28K plus tax for a 5 speed even after a discount, so that would be over $29K for automatic. More than an Acura TL. I'm still somewhat tempted, but I think I will wait for the 2002s to be discounted a little more heavily before seriously considering it. I love the looks of a 2002 GLX with Fresca Green paint and beige leather. With the 4 year warranty and the right price, I may take my chances for the looks of the VW, but taking the car back several times a year for repeated repairs will still be a huge hassle even if there is no charge.
