#2118 of 3257 GLX in Washington DC by petepie1 Jun 03, 2003 (7:35 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 3257 Wagon pricing in CT by ctneedwagon Jun 03, 2003 (8:53 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 3257 More on pricing, negotiating, and all those fees by ctneedwagon Jun 05, 2003 (7:36 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
#2121 of 3257 Extended Warranties by cuengineer Jun 06, 2003 (4:48 pm)
Can anybody tell me what extended warranties are out there from VW for a new Passat Wagon? I have been told via a dealer to come in to discuss but I do not want to go thru all that pressure! Prices?   Also, I have been offered 28400 (out the door) for a 03 Passat Wagon GLX Auto with ESP. I realize that invoice out the door would be 29000 for me in SC. So, the dealer is basically offering me invoice minus 500 VCI incentive. Has anybody bought under invoice?   Has anybody heard anything about June and July Incentives? How long will the VCI last?   I appreciate your help!

Hi cuengineer. You can find a number of posts on extended warranties over on the Edmunds.com town Hall's Finance, Warranty, & Insurance Message Board. Rather than giving in to your local dealer's pressure to come in to talk about an extended warranty for your vehicle, you are free to purchase one from any Volkswagen dealership in the U.S. You can get several price quotes on coverage for your vehicle by calling, or even easier e-mailing numerous dealerships. Once you have gotten a few price quotes and have found an attractive one, you can always give your local dealer an opportunity to match.   As far as this model's current incentives go, for June VW is providing $400 dealer cash on 2003 Passat models that are financed or leased through Volkswagen Credit. If you are able to purchase this car for less than invoice then you are getting a very good deal. It is difficult to say what Volkswagen will do with its July incentives, but I don't anticipate them being much different than they are right now.   Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards

You can learn a lot about extended warraties at the website I mentioned in message #2120 and someone had posted about earlier. You can buy them online or at least get quotes from them and then ask the dealer to match them (dealers add on a lot of profit on them). The site also tells you what to watch out for in the coverage. You can buy the warranties online after you've purchased the car.   CarDeals reported that the 1.9% interest up to 60 months incentive continues for June.   Anyone bought a VW in CT/RI/Southern MA/NY lately?   Thanks
#2124 of 3257 Invoice Price for a 2003 GLX Wagon Automatic by cuengineer Jun 11, 2003 (10:28 am)
I noticed on edmunds that the invoice price is 27910. does this price include the aditional vw fees like floor reserve, ad fee, etc. I have a dealer wlling to sell at invoice (27910) minus the 500 vci incentive. however, if these fees are in the invoice amount maybe i can negotiate and not pay these fees. any help out there?   thanks
#2125 of 3257 My current deal by cuengineer Jun 11, 2003 (10:36 am)
According to the above post, here is the deal I have on the table:   2003 Passat Wagon GLX Automatic with ESP   Wagon Invoice 27910 ESP Invoice 247 SC Sales Tax 300 Destination 575 VCI Incentive -500 (financing at 0.9%) TOTAL 28532 (not including tags)   I have talked him down to 28400. It would be a no brainer if I could get him below 28000. My offer was 27500.   Are there other incentives out there? Any more fat to trim?   When do 2004's come? Would I get a better deal on a 2003 if I wait till then?   Any help would be appreciated!   Thanks
#2126 of 3257 Help PLEASE by cuengineer Jun 13, 2003 (6:55 pm)
Can someone please respond to my above 2 messages? I plan on buying in the next couple of days and would appreciate anyone's help!   Thanks
#2127 of 3257 Passat Value & Price by yankee12 Jun 22, 2003 (8:16 am)
I currently own a 99' BMW 323is and love it.   Baby on the way, weighing the options and price of the Passat. We love the BWM and are considering the VW, Accord, BMW 3 series (4 dr) and Mercedes.   We live in CT and would consider the V6 AWD passat.   What are the overall impressions of the VW for the price as well as any info from CT dealers with prices would be helpful.   Thanks, dg
