Replying to: jeffex (Jan 30, 2005 8:11 pm) 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. |

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

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. |

I'm looking at a 2004 GLX 4Motion Passat w/ around 28000 miles. Car seems to be in great shape and will come w/ all records (which seems to be vital due to oil sludge probelme I'm read about). The non VW dealer was asking $19.7k. I think I can get down to $17.9, but I don't think I can get any lower than that. He's officially offered $18.5 after I offered $16. Any thoughts on what a reasonable price for this car is? I've also posted w/ in the real world trade in value forum, but since I'm really looking to buy from a dealer I would see what kind of a deal this is. I'm possibly willing to wait till the 06's come out so I can see what kind of a deal I can get on a new or used 05, but I'm afraid that I won't find the standard +4Motion in a 1.8T. Any thoughts? Thanks! Greg

Ok, you car people. I am not a car person and am on a budget in NC. I think I want the '04 diesel Passat, automatic, fully loaded with leather and fancy wheels and sound system. (Any problems with the diesel?) The dealer quoted me 27K yesterday on a 2005 model(not including tax, doc, lic) -- thank goodness I walked away (couldn't afford that anyway) and checked out you guys! What should I pay for an '04 fully loaded diesel (assuming I can find one)??

I thought I closed a good deal on a 2004 Passat GLS Sedan with ESP and Leather/Wood package, but I'm not so sure after reading this board. This is a 2004 mid-year model, so it has the same sideview mirrors as the 05 and the cold weather package is included with the leather and wood. MSRP was $27,375. I took the $500 VW loyalty money plus a $4500 discount. I also got $3K more for my trade than I should have based on research from this and other web sites - the dealer said he went heavy on my trade. Bottom line is I got the car for $8K under sticker. Was this a good deal?
