Sorry to say it but it does not sound like a good deal to me. I just got quoted 22600 for the exact same one (everything at invoice price including options + $2000 June Passat rebate)
If I were you, I would go back to them and haggle some more.
Check what the full edmunds reports for your area. Should be less.
Good luck.

I agree with Frank. That deal does not sound too great. With that much money down you should be able to get lower payments. Also, the selling price sounds high. I am picking up my new Passat on Saturday. I am getting a '04 Passat GLS Auto for $21,900. That is $1000 BELOW invoice.
 
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

That is a fairy good price. That is about $900 below invoice. I was just given $21,900 for a '04 GLS automatic. Is your a auto or 5 speed? If that quote is for a manual, then you could get them a little lower. But that appears to be GOOD DEAL.

Sounds good to me. Do you currently own a VW?

No. I don't own one currently. This would be my first VW purchase.

The reason for that question is that VW offers $1,000 owner loyalty rebates.

Real premium for a TDI Passat by oldboy
Jun 30, 2004 (3:29 pm)

Edmunds has finally listed the TDI among the Passat new cars. They show the TMV as identical to MSRP. VW dealer incentive for the GLS gasser is $2000, but only $750 for the GLS TDI. Evidently because of short supply and high demand, dealers are demanding MSRP for TDIs.
 
List prices for the TDI are only $205 above the Automatic gasser. However people are reporting being able to get the gassers about $3000 below MSRP (or $1000 below Invoice). This means that the true premium for a TDI Passat is about $3000! I was planning to get a TDI, but not if I have to pay that much for it. Maybe in another year...
 
Any comments about this situation?
