#2387 of 3257 Real premium for a TDI Passat by oldboy Jun 30, 2004 (4:29 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?

Replying to: oldboy (Jun 30, 2004 4:29 pm) The great thing about VW is even at MSRP, because of the small mark-up between cost and retail you are not getting "taken to the cleaners". Take advantage of the fuel savings now. If you finance through VW Credit and a family member has a VW (any year make or model) you have the 1000 cash back. That brings the price of the TDI less than a 1000 above cost. I drove a car down to a friend from Houston from 20 miles north of Dallas on less than half a tank. If you are currently driving a gas guzzling SUV, Waiting a year will cost you more money in the end (especially if this SUV is out of warranty and you have to make major repairs.) I am just as excited about the TDI Passat as I was when the Touareg came out. The are fun to drive, comfortable, quiet, and when you see "miles to empty:610" on your MFI you cant help but to smile! Good luck on your quest.   P.S All TDIs that are in the pipline now are all that is left for the 2004 model year. TDIs are only produced 2 times a year Replies to this message: fish8 (Jul 02, 2004 4:19 am)

Replying to: bigdveedubgirl (Jul 01, 2004 1:12 pm) Unfortunately, the $1,000 owner loyalty rebate expired 6/30/04. I am sure it will appear again soon.

Replying to: frank (Jun 21, 2004 9:29 pm) Did you get anymore info on this? I am looking to get a similar passat in Berkeley. Trying to figure out if I should move quickly or wait a little longer.
#2391 of 3257 4motion passat gls 1.8t by claffeeba Jul 06, 2004 (7:53 pm)
Pricing 4motion passat gls 1.8t in Philly area - any advice? Preliminary offer from dealer was $1000 under msrp and 0% financing. This still seems quite high given other postings (non-4motion). Not interested in any other options. Thanks. Replies to this message: fish8 (Jul 07, 2004 4:34 am) dfmarcus (Jul 07, 2004 9:27 am)

Replying to: claffeeba (Jul 06, 2004 7:53 pm) I believe you can do MUCH better than $1,000 under MSRP. I didn't get a 4 Motion, but I got $1,000 below INVOICE. The 4Motion may not offer as much negotiating room than a regular 4 motion.   Good Luck. Replies to this message: dfmarcus (Jul 07, 2004 9:27 am)

Replying to: fish8 (Jul 07, 2004 4:34 am) I got mine for $5500 below MSRP, though that can't be combined with th 0% APR.

A newspaper reporter is hoping to talk with people today, July 7, 2004, who waited to buy a vehicle in hopes generous incentives would come back...and is now reaping the benefits. Please respond asap, no later than Tuesday, July 7, 2004 to jfallonedmunds.com with your daytime phone number and a line or two about your automotive experience and plans.   Thanks, Jeannine Fallon PR Director Edmunds.com
#2395 of 3257 VW rebates and incentives by taft4 Jul 08, 2004 (5:15 pm)
Today's Chicago Tribune had an article on rebates in the auto industry, noting the new increased rebates by the big three. But in that same article they made reference to VW in the following statement: "Volkswagen still does not offer rebates but recently instituted zero-percent financing for up to 60 months on most models."   The article also went on to say: "Volkswagen, one of the last holdouts against incentives, is saddled with an aging lineup and dealers pressed the company for sales promotions like zero-percent, which runs through July 31. Sales are down 13 percent this year on top of a 10.5 percent decline last. year."   Maybe the articles about their poor reliability are part of the reason for their sales decline.

#2396 of 3257 Re: VW rebates and incentives [taft4] by fish8 Jul 09, 2004 (3:58 am)
Replying to: taft4 (Jul 08, 2004 5:15 pm) There are VW rebates. If you currently own a VW you will receive $1,000 rebate. Also, dealers get a $2,000 manufacturer to dealer rebate. If one knows this going into a VW dealer, they can use this to get the best deal. At this time, there are not direct rebates to customers. I bet though that if VW sales continue to decline, we may see additional discounts.
