I keep forgetting you guys drove em off the lot a mere hour or two after doing the deal. I had to wait 3 months for my Fresco Variant to arrive. I picked it up on Saturday, and all I can say is What A Car!! This is it: 2003 Passat Wagon GLS Fresco Green/Black leather 1.8T Manual Leather/Cold Weather NO Monsoon (Can't get it in Canada) ESP Homelink Side Curtain air-bags Wood trim package 3M hood protectant film Passat Monster mats Don't ask what I paid, the CDN numbers would have you in fits, although after US conversion, the car actually works out cheaper than the same car priced in US funds alone. Our VW finance rates aren't as good though - 5.9% / 5 years. Better than the banks are offering and I hope to have it paid off much sooner...that's the plan anyway |

| Did you finance through Volkswagen Credit? | |
|
Yes, I financed the minimum amount of 10,000 for 24mo |
|

|
| Is it the case that the dealer only gets the $500 back if you finance through VW? | |
| When you say "out the door" are you also including sales tax, and licensing fees? If so, that is an unbelievably good price! For some oddball reason, that car must have been sitting on their lot more than 90 days (hard to believe with a Passat GLS Wagon!) and they wanted to get rid of it to avoid paying VW for the car (they get 2% spread over 90 days to cover the cost of financing new cars from VW). | |
| Money...not VWOA; so yes | |
| I guess you could negotiate the cash back towards the purchase of the car, but in my case there was no need to. Again, I paid out the door price of 26672 which included everything -- tax, license, destination charge and doc fees. As far as the car sitting on their lot for 90 days, I don't know. I will say it only had 16 miles on it and the build date on the drivers door says 10/02. | |

Can you explain the VCI incentive? It seems like the low rates are an incentive to buy the car. Why would there be an additional incentive to use the 1.9% financing? Thanks |
|
| money assures that Dealers will promote those rates and not those of another Bank... | |

Felis - that's a great deal. I thought I had done well at $600 under invoice (before Xmas). Of course I have less features (auto, Monsoon, Homelink) on mine so that probably adds to the better deal you got. I've never heard that you had to make three payments before you can payoff the loan. I paid off mine when I received the first bill (couldn't resist a no interest loan from the folks). |
