Hello all. First time posting on the Passat board. Was about to buy an Altima, but just didn't think I could get past the interior. Decided to look at Passat 1.8T and was definitely impressed (liked the car, not crazy about the dealership though). Tried the blast e-mail approach and received the following offer: 2002 Passat 1.8T Reflex Silver Automatic with Tiptronic Leather Package Luxury Package Homelink Monsoon $23,999.00 plus taxes and tags (no processing fee) The vehicle is in stock, and the Internet manager claims the deal is only good until the end of the month. What do you think? |

| Three weeks ago a friend an I purchased 2003 Passat GLX station wagons. Mine was $250.00 over invoice. My friend paid $450.00 over invoice since the dealer had to truck the car in from nearly 200 miles away. We purchased our Passats from Autobahn VW in Fort Worth TX. Our salesperson was Sam Fowler who provided us one of the best car buying experiences I have ever enjoyed (I trade cars every two years). If you are in the Fort Worth/Dallas area, I encourage you to visit Sam Fowler at Autobahn VW. With nearly 1000 miles on my car, I am incredibly pleased and impressed with the Passat. Build quality is top notch. The fun to drive factor is off the graph. | |

I'd say a little high if my figures are right, once you subtract dealer cash and holdback from invoice I get about 22850 dealer cost. First price is rarely the lowest but if that's the exact car you want, including the extras.... R U in or around DC as your handle might indicate? |

These people are idiots...Grab your check book and head down first thing in the AM...Invoice on this Passat is $24,626.00...But do not expect any special financing help from Volkswagen Credit... Not available with this price structure... |
|
| that's a great price isn't it? I am looking for the same model with the luxury and maybe leather as well the dealer told me a few hudred below invoice...what's the invoice price on this car? Also, couldnt decide to get auto or manual. It has a sweet manual that I drove and loved...but unfortunately traffic jams take the thrill away most of the time. What area do you live in? The dealer here doesnt even have any in stock. Veedubs are hot sellers here in vegas. | |
| Which state and city do you live in and are they still offering 0.9%? Also did you get the lux and leather package? thanks | |
|
I live in the Boston area. Not sure if they are still offering 0.9%, but there should be a $1000+ rebate for 2002 models. My passat doesn't have lux or leather package. |

Used to have a girl named that with a crush on me. Anyway, I hope you like your car. I test drove the GLX manual last night and it was a sweet car...drove the 1.8T auto this morning and I didnt like the way the car jumps from rest, the engine revved louder than I like. For the folks here who have a Costco membership...the price is $24,107 for 1.8T auto/GLS with the following options. leather package luxury package cold weather (included with the leather package) I don't know if this is the exact price or not, but this is definitely the price you can get it thru costco. THe price is $21413 without leather/luxury package. |

| I think I ended up with a reasonably good deal for the 1.8T lux etc. I figured the dealer made a few hundred off me, but I really checked around with *a lot* before buying it (I live in NJ), and even though dealers should have been itching to get the '02s off their lots, none were willing to come down below $22.5. BTW, mine's automatic w/tiptronic. I really like it...in traffic it's good, but when I want to shift over I can. For invoice price, I used Edmunds and carsdirect. It seemed about $23.3. Then I factored in the $1200 incentive. Good luck... | |

Folks, Last Friday, I purchased a 2003 Passat GL w/ Automatic Transmission and Cold Weather Package, Fresco Green with Black Velour. I am posting my experience to help future buyers. I live in Indianapolis and visited 2 dealers, Tom Wood VW and Speedway VW. I did most of my dealing via email and phone. I eventually purchased my car from Speedway VW as they offered me the best price (see details below). I should mention that the car has 149 miles on it. $21845 (Including Destination Charge) $100 (Cold Weather Package) $1097.25 (Sales Tax) $60 (Dealer Documentation Fee) $1.25 (Tire Tax) $23103.50 (Total Cost ) The invoice price is $19,790 (Base Price) + $575 (Destination Charge) + $1073 (Auto Tranny) + $275 (Cold Weather) = $21,713. So I paid about 1.1 percent over invoice. Initially I did not want the Cold Weather Package (Cost = $21,845), but as the dealer did not have the car that I wanted, he threw in the Cold Weather Package for $100, making the cost $21,945. I feel satisfied with the purchase. I highly recommend Tom Wood VW also (see Dave Kraft), for their excellent customer service. For the same car (excluding Cold Weather Package), Tom Wood offered me a $22380 + Sales Tax = $23,500. Hope this helps. |
