#2111 of 3318 Bought a GLX wagon by petepie1 May 27, 2003 (4:56 am)
Thanks to everyone for the pricing advice. FYI, I bought a 2003 GLX wagon, with a manual transmission and ESP for $27,400, it came to $28,000 even out the door (incl. all tags, taxes, doc fees, etc.). I'm in Northern Virginia. Very happy with it so far.   Pete
#2113 of 3318 Searching for Passat Wagon in CT by ctneedwagon Jun 01, 2003 (12:57 pm)
Anyone bought one of these in CT recently? Looking at GLX AWD specifically but any good (or bad) dealer experience and pricing would be informative.   I'm also curious about chiphogge's experience, did you buy the car already? THanks Pat Smith for her info, very helpful.   Also, is the 1.9% incentive going to continue in June?

Hi ctneedwagon. Volkswagen has not released its June incentives yet. I should know more about what its June program will be like in a few days. Please check back with me then with a quick reminder and I will let you know what I have been able to find out. Although it is impossible to predict what a manufacturer will do with its future incentives with 100% accuracy, I suspect that Volkswagen will continue its 1.9% special financing relatively unchanged for the month of June.   Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards
#2115 of 3318 GLX wagon pricing by petepie1 Jun 02, 2003 (7:33 am)
Forgot one important part of the price I got--the $27,400 price & $28,000 out the door on the GLX wagon was AFTER application of the $500 VW owner loyalty credit. Pete
#2116 of 3318 GLX Pricing in the Wash DC Area by deltagirl Jun 02, 2003 (6:19 pm)
I'm in the market for a GLX and want to know if anyone has gotten any good deals in the DC area. Or do I need to travel to Baltimore?

Stohlman VW in Tyson's Corner was a easy purchase for me. I paid invoice plus invoice for the options I added on. They didn't even ask me for any of that undercoating, scotchguard, alarm options that Honda/Ford/Nissan/Chevy have all pushed on me. I was in and out in 2 hours and that included picking the car, getting credit through VW (I got their 3.9% over 5 years- so happy about that!!), prepping the car, they showed me the entire dealership (service center, body shop, wait room, etc) and had someone go over the entire car with me before I left the dealership. Overall I was very impressed and as an added touch- they sent me chocolate chip cookies as a thank you!   I e-mailed their internet dept. and was given a quote on one Passat but changed my mind on an option when I got there and was still given invoice. I worked with Tom G. but he also works with someone named Mike when he's not there.   They have a website but I don't think I'm allowed to post it.   Hope this helps!   Carrie ~2003 1.8T VW Passat in Candy White/ Tan leather interior
#2118 of 3318 GLX in Washington DC by petepie1 Jun 03, 2003 (6:35 am)
I bought my wagon from Stohlman in Tyson's corner and second the recommendation. I shopped all the area dealers looking for a specific color combination and found Stohlman beat everyone else's price (College Park, Martens). It was an easy purchase, no pressure to buy extras, no hassles in the finance office. Congressional, Springfield, Karen Radley, and others didn't have the color/option combination I wanted so I didn't price them. I bought the wagon for $27,400 (after $500 rebate, before taxes, tags--total out the door was $28,000 after $500 rebate). Mine has 5 speed manual transmission, plus ESP. I think you can get better deals on the GLX sedans, especially if you want an automatic. Stohlman has a bunch of GLX's on the lot, so does Springfield VW. The guy at Marten's called back after I bought my car and said that they were offering their Passats for $3000 below MSRP, which brings it closer to invoice. Good luck finding the car you want, it seems like there are some good deals to be had out there if you buy off the lot. If you do go to Baltimore, I found that Russel had the lowest prices when I bought a Jetta in 2000.
#2119 of 3318 Wagon pricing in CT by ctneedwagon Jun 03, 2003 (7:53 am)
After test driving the cars, I decided to go with a Passat Wagon, GLS 1.8T automatic with leather and ESP. Any suggestions on whether to go with the Monsoon system or not? Is it worth the $$ ? Is there a quality difference or just power difference? (not into playing music loud).   The first quote was 1% over invoice, which in her description includes the 575 dest and $267 fees (ad, port, floor plan?). Then options at invoice price, I assume.   From what I read in the posts, people are getting the car for invoice, or even below. What argument can I use for that? that they are getting 2% incentives (for instance) from manufacturer and thus making money even at invoice?   How much difference should I expect in price between buying off the lot and ordering?   Thank you for any help/comments.
#2120 of 3318 More on pricing, negotiating, and all those fees by ctneedwagon Jun 05, 2003 (6:36 am)
I've learned a lot on all those things, especially those fees and how they may be negotiable, even if Edmunds says no, at a great site. Look up: "car buying tips" at a search engine and you'll get lots of valuable info for free. I don't recommend walking into a dealership without reading it first.   Again, has anyone bought a VW in CT recently?   Thanks
