#2534 of 3274 Re: 2005 Passat GLS lease deals [coguk] by soc1 Jan 13, 2005 (5:10 pm)
Replying to: coguk (Dec 04, 2004 8:17 pm) i'm in the D.C. metro area, a.k.a. Rockville MD. About to buy a 2005, gls, 1.8T, 4cylinder, automatic for 25,474, plus tax, tags title. Added on teh leather package and 17" alloy wheels all for that price. Hope it's good. Heard that the 2006 models are a new design, and that 2005's will come way down in price (a few thousand) later this year. My info came from other postings on edmunds. Have fun driving it!

Replying to: soc1 (Jan 13, 2005 5:10 pm) That price seems a bit high. I purchased my '04 Passat GLS 1.8t with Auto for $20,900. I can't see leather and 17" wheels costing almost $5,000.
#2536 of 3274 New 2004 Passat 1.8L Tourbo GLS by mjtian Jan 16, 2005 (1:10 pm)
Hello all, I just purchased a VW and got a GREAT deal. It was snowing here in St. Louis and I had just saw in the local paper that the 2004 Passat is still available at Brand New. I paid $17,995 plus $99 for the paperwork. I was shoked.   The dealer initially claimed that my newpaper ad was a misprint. It was a bitter cold day and it took him forever to bring out the car. I thought he was playing games and left the dealership after sitting around for an hour not even seeing the car. Well, he calls me on my cell phone explaining that he was cleaning the vehicle and that if I were to return to the dealership he would sell me the car at the advertised price (he initially insisted on $19,995 which was still a good price). I went back, drove the car and loved it.   I guess I got lucky partly because VW is redesigning the 2006 Passat and the weather conditions forced most people to stay at home. oh, the post also helped out. The car had only 85 miles on it!!!! Replies to this message: fish8 (Jan 16, 2005 3:50 pm) halsie (May 31, 2005 7:23 pm) susansms (May 31, 2005 7:27 pm) halsie (Jun 03, 2005 8:16 pm)

#2538 of 3274 New Passat 2004 GLX Price-Good or? by jeffex Jan 30, 2005 (9:11 pm)
Its 2005, the new 2005 passat is out, but im looking at the 2004 GLX to save some cash, is there a huge difference in 04 and 05? The pricing difference would be about.. 6k. Around 30k for a 05, and 24k for a 04, both brand new, fully loaded. Should i go for this deal, the 04 that is.

Replying to: jeffex (Jan 30, 2005 9:11 pm) No differences worth talking about - colors and some trim details. Go for it.

Replying to: jeffex (Jan 30, 2005 9:11 pm) what is the interest rate for the 04'   and maybe consider a gls vs. the glx especially in the 4-motion version there is not a big diffrence bettween both packages...   glx-electric seats,rain sensor and climatronic for a lot more $$$   did you try the 1.8turbo version?i would aim the 4 cylinder version, the v6 is not very impressive,lot's of midrange power but not as peppy as the 1.8t,and i'm not talking fuel economy where the 1.8t shines...trust me and go for the fully loaded gls and just add wood trim for a more glx looking interior...

Replying to: jeffex (Jan 30, 2005 9:11 pm) I also don't think there are many/any changes that warrant the price difference. Hence, I purchased a 2004 myself last month at at $17,995. I financed it and got it at 4.95% for 60 months.   VW is completely redesigning the Passat for 2006, so there is another reason to stick with the 2004. I do not think that when you trade your Passat away down the road, you would get an extra 6K for having the 2005 model.   I also agree that the V6 Passat is not very impressive. The Acura TL that I tested has 270 HP I believe, while the Passat only kicks out 190 HP. The 1.8L Turbo only produces 20 less HP. I believe when I was looking around about a month ago in St. Louis, the prices were around $20,000 for the 4 cylinders and $22,000 for the 4 cylinder plus 4 motion. I would expect the prices to be even lower at this point.   Also, I was able to get a great deal on mine because I went on during a stretch of cold winter days and when I was at the dealership I was the only customer there. It actually snowed 3 inches that morning. So I recommend, if you are not in dire need of a car right now, wait for the weather to get bad or go during the weekday instead of the weekends when everyone else shops. Good luck and enjoy your new vehicle.
#2542 of 3274 GLS TDI in Tampa by jesse_garron Feb 18, 2005 (9:06 am)
Hi All,    Pleased to see that some folks are getting what appears to be some pretty good deals. I was hoping to get some input as to my situation.    Looking for a Passat GLS TDI. MSRP is about 26.5. We've missed advantageous deals over the holidays, but I really think there is a glut of TDI's right now. Spoke with a very knowledgeable and straightforward sales manager at Brandon VW (Tampa, FL). He advised waiting to see what happens in March. I don't know what to expect be it rebate, advantageous financing, etc.    The new Passat comes out summer/fall of this year. I cannot see Passats getting even invoice in anticipation of the newer model, but who knows. My question is - what bottom price should we expect in the next several months? I'd love to get an '04, but they are non existent now.   Thanks all,   JG Replies to this message: jrct9454 (Feb 18, 2005 5:31 pm)

Replying to: jesse_garron (Feb 18, 2005 9:06 am) The thing to watch out for is, although the new car will be out during the summer, VWoA has been very cagey about revealing engine choices. Some insiders are betting that they are going to withhold the TDI in our market until the '07 model year [mid-to-late calendar '06] when the final nationwide mandate of low sulfur diesel will make it possible for them to bring in the latest, most powerful, and cleanest version of the engine.   Thus, it is possible that the current supply of present-generation TDI Passats is all there will be until sometime in mid-2006, with the new car only being available with the gasoline direct-injection 2.0 turbo, and the new V6, when the car is launched this summer. In that case, the current-gen TDIs could turn into something fairly hard to get fairly soon. Now vs March? Probably no biggee....but I wouldn't wait too long if you want one of the current cars - what is on the ground now is all there will ever be.
