I am a VW Dealer...

Thanks for the info. Is this a rebate to dealer or rebate to the customer?   Lets say I already agreed on a price with a dealer and want the vw financing. Do you think I'd get this rebate?
#1914 of 3318 Volkswagen Incentives... by Car_man HOST Jan 21, 2003 (11:02 am)
Vwguild is correct. On January 17th, Volkswagen changed their dealer cash program from $750 on all models that could not be combined with the special financing or lease programs to $500 that may be combined with the special financing program on all models and with the special lease program on both the Jetta and the Passat. If I was in the market for a new Volkswagen, I definitely would take advantage of their special financing program now that it can be combined with the dealer cash. Their current special financing rates are 1.9% for 24 months, 2.75% for 36 months, and 3.5% for 48 to 60 months on all models except for the New Beetle Convertible and the Eurovan Camper. These rates come straight from VW Credit, so there wouldn't be any "monkey business" associated with them. The only thing that you would have to look out for is your dealer marking up these base interest rates in order to add a little extra profit to your deal. I believe that these special rates may be marked-up 1% by dealers who choose to do so. If your credit is in good shape, just make sure to insist upon the base rates. One should never automatically assume that any available consumer or dealer cash will be deducted from their negotiated price. Dealers almost always include any available cash incentives in their price quotes, so you should deduct them from any offers.   Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards

Congratulations on the "Love Wagon" II !!!!   However; the only number that you cite that is not part of a VW Invoice would be the Doc. Fees.   These vary from State to State...in California it is a State mandated $45.00   On the other hand, you are living in Paradise, and everything is more expensive...

#1921 of 3318 Got the Passat! by sbsyncro Jan 27, 2003 (9:15 am)
Well, after lurking (and posting) here on the boards for a couple of months, I finally took the plunge and bought a 2003 GLS Wagon on Saturday.   The local dealer agreed to match the best quote I had (from carsdirect.com) and was actually cheaper, once I factored in the delivery charge to the local dealer (the car was actually owned by another dealer about 150 miles away and cars direct quoted $250 transport fee).   The numbers:   2003 Passat Wagon GLS Fresco Green/Gray leather 1.8T/Tiptronic Leather/Cold Weather Monsoon ESP Homelink   Total price: $25,827 + $125 transport fee   I got the financing through VW Credit at 3.5%   I spent a grand total of 1.25 hours at the dealer signing paperwork, that was it! Did everything directly with the sales consultant (no "finance manager) which was very nice.   It would actually have been less time if they hadn't tried to slip in a couple of last minute <ahem> "changes" into the sales contract (like an extra point on the finance rate, and padding some of the other fees.)   I have to give them credit, they tried every possible angle to recoup their $300 or $400 in margin they normally get from a less informed buyer.   Overall, the experience was pleasant, and I am very happy to have spent my money locally. Not only for the relationship with the dealer, but also to put the money back into the community (something we forget about in our "Internet economy")   By the way, does anyone happen to know what the minumum credit score is to qualify for the 3.5% rate through VW Credit? They told me 750 and I called BS on them. After a brief "visit with the manager" they decided to "go ahead and eat the extra point" of financing. Yea, right.   Cheers!   BC
