#1621 of 3318 Passat W8 an $8,000 option???? by biyonic1 Apr 09, 2002 (5:43 pm)
Oh, man. I have had my eyes on a Passat as a company lease for a long time. I have not been thrilled about the existing engine choices until now. The V8 was a great idea - the bad part is that the price is going to be $8000 more than the V6 car loaded! This equates to almost $100 per hp! To understand that look at it this way, at $100 per hp the engine makes up $27,500 of the total price of the car!!! What a rip off!   Very snooty if you ask me - joe consumer.   Totally bad example but the Ford Explorer option to go from V6 to V8 is only $800   The 330i is at this new Vdub pricepoint and no amount of hp makes the Vdub come even close to the total BMW package. Sorry, almost 40K for a VW??? Uh Uh   I'm very disappointed. I so wanted that car. $33 was my company lease cap.

Just out of curiosity ... Who has manufactured this music system? Does it play mp3 files? How does it sound?

680+ on the Fair Isaac Score should be sufficient...if you go to www.equifax.com you can see your entire credit history...
#1626 of 3318 well.... by jpvwaudi Apr 22, 2002 (11:14 am)
as long as that 680 doesn't include any current derogatory credit and you make more than minimun wage you should be ok
#1627 of 3318 Advice needed by praetorian Apr 22, 2002 (12:11 pm)
I am looking for a 2002 Passat GLS 1.8T Auto with the least extra options available. I have received an "Internet quote" from a local dealer that he said was open to entertaining any offers I have. "If available, the Internet price for a 2002 VW Passat GLS 1.8T Automatic, will be $23,180.14 plus fees (Locate, Doc., Tax, Title, Plate).   If available, the Internet price for a 2002 VW Passat GLS 1.8T Automatic, will be $22,577.36 plus fees (Locate, Doc., Tax, Title, Plate). "   These are a little high compared to edmunds TMV and Invoice pricing.   I am seriously considering the demo, but have no idea what to reasonably offer the dealer for a price out the door for a slightly used car(below TMV?, below invoice?).   Also looking advice on what to offer for a new passat with similar configuration based on his "Internet quote"   Thanks guys!   Tim

Yeah, those are high. It may be because a stripper Passat is hard to find. Most come with either the Monsoon or the Luxury package, or both. You might actually be able to get a better deal on a Auto w/Monsoon sitting on their lot.

I'm looking to buy a Passat V6 Sedan AT Luxury Package this weekend. What price should I be paying?   He tried offering me the 1.8T AT with cloth and Luxury package for MSRP 25,730 + $211 Fees + $1867 taxes. ~$28,000   He then said he'd "try to get me a V6 off the lot" for something similar.   What should I pay for the V6...before state tax and fees?
#1630 of 3318 BEING RIPPPED OFF!? What do you think? by peachlaces May 04, 2002 (3:29 am)
Hey people! HI!   I just went to a VW dealership last night...pls shed some insight on how they calcuoate the ACTUAL amount of financing...these are the numbers/figures I have and the procedure a salesman from another dealership explained...   2002 VW auto Passat GLX   PRICE OF VW CAR: $ 28,500 TEXAS Sales TAX: 6.25% TRADE IN VALUE: $7,500 (??? Another dealership gave $8500 on it, NOTE: 2000 NISSAN GXE W/ONLY 13000MI) DOWNPAYMENT: $0 PAYOFF AMOUNT FOR NISSAN: $10,500 TTL FEES: $ 1,800 (more or less) OTHER DEALER FEES + EXT. WARRANTY: $2000   This is how the salesman at another dealership explained how it's calculated...i hope you'll follow...and let me know if this is correct.   a. Take price of car and deduct trade in value:   28500 - 7500 = 21000   b. Take that difference and calculate sales tax:   21000 + (21000 X .0625) = 22312...i'll just this round off to 23000 (plus title & license fee) NOTE: 23000 total now, after TTL added!   c. Take the DIFFERENCE of your Trade in and Pay off...? This is where it gets confusing!!!   10500 pay off - 7500 trade in value = 3000 difference (negative equity?)   d. From here do i add -3000 or +3000 to 23000 taxed price. From what it looks like it should be like.   3000 + 23000 = 26000   e. 26000 + 2000 (any other dealer fees warranty) = 28000...   AMOUNT TO BE FINANCED AT 6% APR/60 mo = $28000 MONTHLY PAYMENTS: 542 Is this correct?????? Let me know what's wrong. Thank you!   Even if i plugged in the values on edmunds.com calc...i am not sure if the value of trade in and pay off amount is considered on that...
