There's a VW dealer offering this car for 16995. It's green w/ 39k miles, power sunroof, cloth int 1.8L Turbo Auto trans. I'd like to get a good idea whrere to start negotiations for the price. I checked out the TMV and came up with the following Trade - 12315 private - 13924 Dealer - 15590 Certified - 16590 Any suggestions. I am still trying to figure out if i'm going to trade my current vehicle ('90 Volvo 740) in or sell it myself. Thanks, Peeter |

| 2002 Passat 1.8T sedan with monsoon, luxuary and leather packages 25K including $100 ad and $92 interest. It is good? | |
| If it's an auto, then that's a good deal. If it's a manual, it's a bit high. | |

I just negotiated a deal over the weekend for a 2002 GLS Wagon 1.8 Manual, loaded (Leather, Luxury, Monsoon) for $25K out the door. It's the first time I've done an "out the door" deal, as I usually prefer to stick with an invoice-plus-profit kind of negotiation. Any comments on whether that's a good deal? Only problem is they say they can't find a manual trans in California, so I will probably have to renegotiate for an automatic (I would really prefer the manual, though). |

You should expand your search...There are 5 Speed manuals available in California... |

| I ALMOST negotiated a deal over the weekend for a 2002 GLS 1.8 Manual, loaded (Leather, Luxury, Monsoon) for $24K. This included the port fees ($25), floor plan fees ($92), and ad fees for the state of FL ($208). However, the dealer then added another $500 saying its the 'dealer fees'. I was not sure what the hell he was talking about so I did not sign the deal. Does anybody know what it is and should I pay for it? How is it different from holdback? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. | |
| Was that $500 is mark-up from Invoice? | |
| I am not sure what you mean ... Here's the breakdown of all the cost associated. The invoice (including all the options, destination charge, ad, port plan, and floor plan fees) was $23,770 .. I offered him $24K. He accepted my offer but then told me about the dealer fees (which would then make the total $24.5K). I refused ... Does that help? | |

Thanks, Sean Mac. I'll continue the search for the manual trannie. It seems like $25K OTD is a pretty reasonable price for the fully loaded GLS wagon, since even just taking out the sales tax puts it back to $23,310. |
