I am hesitating between the two. Argument for the GLX is the v6 because I may haul lot of stuff when going on camping trips and don't want a sluggish car. However if I add all the options I care about (leather Pkg + ESP) , the GLX is still 4000 more. $4000 just for a V6 upgrade that brings only 20 additional horse power sounds a little steep to me. Any opinions? Also, I heard that the 2005 engines are bigger (200hp and above). Will they be available in the wagon version in September 2004? Thx |

I am just about to finalize my purcase on my first VW. After reading I'm wondering if I am comfortable with my deal.... 2004 GLS 1.8T FWD Passat- Black/beige leather/wood trim, cold weather pacage (i.e. heated seats) Sunroof, ESP and OnStar. Price $26,000. Is this a good deal??? I'm opting for "Drivers Option" has anyone financed this way? And if so, what is your take on it? I put $4,000 down and will have a total monthly payment between $330-$350. for 48mo. with a baloon at the end of the 4 yrs. Desperate for reply, finalizing purchase in 2 days when car arrives to the dealership!!

Replying to: jlv1 (Jun 23, 2004 7:05 pm) Invoice on the car you are getting is $25,813. MSRP is $28,249. Thats actually not a bad deal, but I do believe that you could get the car below invoice. Most dealers are really wanting to rid their lots of Passats. So, stick to your guns and get them below invoice. I almost guarantee that you can negotiate a better deal. Do you currently own a VW. On my deal, I also received a $1000 owner loyalty rebate on top of the $2000. I am also not familiar with the Drivers Option choice. When talking to the dealer a couple of years ago about my current Jetta they sort of steered me away from the drivers option. Not sure why! |

I agree with frank and fish. The price for your car should be, at minimum, 2 grand under invoice. The 05s are on the doorstep, after all. Secondly, I would avoid Driver's Option. Either buy at today's excellent low interest rates, or do a standard lease. If you lease, negotiate the price of the car before you begin haggling on lease terms. |

Hello All, Could you all please help me out. I am looking at purchasing getting 2004 Passat GLS at $22,000. No other options such as leather, esp, etc. The dealer is giving me this price with the 1.9%APR for 60 months. Is this a good price/deal?? Thanks
