Replying to: taft4 (May 21, 2004 12:00 pm) I've gotten three quotes from the dealer on my desired passat (GLS 1.8, auto, leather w/ wood, ESP) and the best i've found is 24,700 after all taxes and fees. that's less than the TMV, but i don't know whether to get the car when i plan to (end of june) or wait until closer to the end of the year to try and get a better deal. does anyone know what kind of incentives VW will offer towards the end of the year? thanks in advance

Replying to: cmstea0 (May 23, 2004 5:56 pm) Hope this helps. I dont think prices will go down much more, depreciation on an 04 will more than makeup for a couple of hundred in extra savings. just my two cents,aloha jason By the way its a great car, more fun to drive than my 240hp accord coupe by lots! Knock on wood it will remain reliable. will be getting the GIAC engine and tiptronic chips for about 1K more to increase HP/torque by 40/50 and increase tip shifting time.

| I also will be getting into a Passat in August and have wondered what kind of incentives will be offered at that time. Unfortunately, there really is no way of know what will be offered at that time. From what I can gather from talking with several dealers and folks online, there will most likely be incentives on Passats through the end of the year. It seems like VW is trying to keep Passat and Jetta sales up before the new models arrive in '05. | |

Replying to: jason1635 (May 23, 2004 7:09 pm) Another question, when the dealers quote an "on the road" price is this really the final, absolute price of the car? I don't want to arrive at the Dealership with a check for 24.3K only to find out that there are a slew of "final costs" or "prep fees" that weren't mentioned over the phone/internet. Glad to hear that the Passat is more fun to drive than the Accord w/ 240hp. That was actually my 2nd choice. Are the modifications you mentioned easy to do? Expensive? Whom would you recommend them to?

I would think it won't be hard to get a similar deal in June, July or Aug. The sales person I was dealing with told me she believes that VW will continue to offer some sort of incentives on Passats. As far as fees go: you may also be hit with a Doc fee. The dealer I was working with included a $398 Doc fee and tag fee which was around $30 all of these fees were NOT included in the initial $ work up. Good Luck. |

the cchips will cost about $500 for the engine chip, 300 for the chip tip, really improves performance. Might need a new diverter valve to to handle increased boost. Is 24,300, GLS,leather, ESP, AT total cost in addition to tax,title and doc fees. If no other fees are icluded thats a pretty fair price if it goes a long with 1.9 financing. 18,800 for a stripped model GL is a GREAT price. every dealer has a few loss leaders on the base models to offer. essentiall the leather, GLS package and ESP add about 4 grand. if 1.9 financing also available on the 18,8 than it is awesome price. 1.9 financing saves between 1-2K over regular financing 3.5-5.5%. Factor all this plus trade in into your purchase decision. good luck |

Replying to: cmstea0 (May 25, 2004 9:00 am) Keep us informed how your purchase hunt goes. I am interested to hear what on the road price really means! |

| I was in talks with a dealer around me about a GLS and they did not have the specific model on their lot. They found the exact car at another dealer and were going to have the car driven to the closer dealer. They never mentioned passing the transportation cost to me. So, that fee is most likely negotiable. Good luck. | |
