cool! I guess, I get the coupon at the dealer. Thanks for your well informed info. INKY

If you did not receive a *coupon* in the mail; you will need to take the Registration from your current VW to the Dealership. There they can Xerox it and Fax it to Program HQ.   Remember, you NEED NOT trade in your VW, and the *coupon* ONLY applies to a New VCI Lease/Purcahse. If you have a problem; let me know...
#1650 of 3318 Anyone know when the 2003 Passats will be here? by cephas1 Jun 15, 2002 (2:32 pm)
Anyone know when the 2003 Passats will be hitting the showrooms? A dealer Jax, Fla. said they might be in by July? Is there anywhere to go on the web to view it? If I were close to buying, should I wait for the 2003 or get a 2002? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
#1651 of 3318 Passat GLX vs. Audi A4 by cephas1 Jun 16, 2002 (9:10 am)
I've never owned a German made car, so I'm confessing my ignorance here. Interested in people's thoughts of the Audi A4 vs. Passat GLX automatic. Which would be the better value, better dependability, more fun, etc.? Also, is the 1.8 a better deal than the 3.0 in the A4? Thanks!
#1652 of 3318 Purchased a demo for 800 over TMV, how bitter should I be? by srosenz Jun 18, 2002 (7:29 pm)
I recently purchased an automatic 2002 GLS 1.8 4 cylinder Passat w/ Monsoon and mudflaps (explained to me as an added feature) for almost 800 dollars over its TMV (it was 22.2k and I paid 22.9). Here's the catch, the car had become demo one week before (about 700 miles on it) I didn't walk during negotiations because I needed to get a car NOW and the car was exactly what I had been looking for for over a month (color, automatic, etc.). In New Orleans, believe it or not, there is a very limited selection. I really wanted to pay closer to 22k. Also, the dealership tried to tack on some BS fee of $500 that was intially explained to me as mandatory...at least I saw through that ploy. Did my time constraint to find my Passat make me bite the bullet
#1653 of 3318 More info on #1603 by srosenz Jun 18, 2002 (9:06 pm)
The invoice was 21.8 and MRSP 23.8. At the time, my research had all of these values 500 more (so of course I thought my price was acceptable) I have a feeling I should have stuck to my guns and demanded the 22k price, whether it meant walking or not. I
#1654 of 3318 yes srosenz by arupsarkar Jun 18, 2002 (10:56 pm)
Yup, you should have. ALWAYS walk if you don't get your price. Invoice plus 200-300 at the most. Maybe just flat invoice for a 2002 this late in the year. I bought a GLX in Michigan (all non-american cars are rare in Michigan) 6 weeks ago for invoice plus $300. It was actually invoice plus $100 but they had to get the car from a different dealer out of state. So I had to pay $200 for flatbed transport. That said, if you like the car, and it really was  exactly what you wanted, then why worry about a few hundred bucks over the life of a car?? Just enjoy it.

be quite candid...I don't really see any benefit in berating yourself about this transaction, particularly using such a subjective measuring stick.   You got the exact car that you were looking for, "for over a month", and you got it when you needed it, "NOW"....   Just a reminder...My friends here at edmunds.com Do Not Sell Automobiles...What is found here is a *Guide*...it is information that is not presented on Two Tablets...   Enjoy your car, and if you have any questions about it; ask away...

Let me guess?? You went to Walker VW in Metairie?? They are such a rip off. I bought a 2002 Jetta in April. I went there and do you know they would not budge on the price at all. They wanted Full MSRP for a Jetta GLS 1.8T 5-speed. They claim that the car was hard to come by in 5speed. Then that $500 whatever fee?? Unbelievable!! I really wanted the car and considered getting it but... I walked!!   I went to Baton Rouge to the VW dealer up there. I told them what kinda car I wanted and that I wasn't gonna play games. They located the car I wanted in Dallas. EXACT colors and options!! I got it for $600 above invoice. I did however have to pay $300 for shipping (they flat bedded it to Baton Rouge). I still save a lot more money. That $500 fee that walker charges made me walk. However, I think they are trying to pay for their new facilites. They just built the new VW showroom and now they are building a new Acura show room!! Anyway, Congrats on your new car and good luck!
