| I bought an 02 wagon with 9K miles on it...the dealer and the paperwork all say it was in the VW corporate fleet and it was only put into service in July of 2004, therefore the warranty starts on that date (in-service). Paid $17,900 and the car is loaded. Has anyone heard of this situation before? Can anyone tell me why VW kept the car out of service for over two years? Thanks! | |

Just bought a beautiful blue graphite wagon, GLS trim, TDi, and the 17" alloys for $23,149 plus the proc. fee and tax/tags/license. Dealer drove 50 miles to get the car from another lot, drove to my credit union and picked up the check, then drove the car 100 miles to deliver to me within 24 hours of closing the deal by phone and fax. Sticker was about $27,700. "Invoice" should be $25,357 with the wheels, so I feel like I did pretty well. Some Pics Love the car more than I could imagine (put 800 miles on it in the first weekend), and several coworkers are considering getting one before they're gone. If you're thinking about it, get one now! Best, jfjf |

Hey all, I'm new here, but have been reading a lot off this forum lately. I am currently looking at a 2002 Passat GLS 1.8T 5-speed with: monsoon, sunroof, and cold weather package (dealer says). The car will be a Certified Pre-Owned VW before I buy it (just got on the lot I belive) and thus come with the usual 2 year 24000 mile warranty. It has about 34k miles on it, and is light blue. I test drove it earlier this week, and it was a very nice driving car, I like. It is just off lease, only issues are a small dent (which should be repaired easily) and the rear brake rotors need to be changed out. Dealer will do this before I take delivery of the car. So here's the deal, I have not talked money with the dealer yet, wanted to make sure I actually was interested before doing that. I will be getting full service records and a carfax report on the car tomorrow (dealer says, so hopefully this happens). Dealer sticker price is $16,999. I have found via the edmunds site and KBB and NADA many different prices for this car. So far have found trade-in values ranging from $10,960 to $13,775. Have found "Dealer Price" values ranging from $15,081 to $16,325. I am wondering what would be a good price to actually pay, seeing as I will be getting the warranty and it will be a CPO VW. I will be (as long as carfax and service records dont suck) negotiating prices probably this Saturday (last day of the month, not sure if that means anything) for the car. I was thinking of telling the dealer that the trade in was probably close to $11,500 and that I would take the car (before tax and etc) for $12500. Then go from there with negotiations. What do you think? Thank you very much

Replying to: bradfa (Apr 27, 2005 4:14 pm) And if that doesn't convince you - I own three VW's - a pair of 2003s and a 1997 with absolutely no problems. To have a 25-year VW guy tell you this should be a hint and a half... |

Replying to: fish8 (Apr 28, 2005 3:44 am) I got the carfax report and a list of all service done on the car today. Only things on the service record that aren't scheduled maint is one case of a check engine light coming on and some repair of one of the rear doors. I am going to ask for a detailed list of what exactly happened in each of those cases to make sure it wasn't something major. All the recalls (all 2, wheel well / gas tank, and engine coil pack) were fixed at the dealer in '03. As long as the two service items I mentioned aren't serious, it seems like this car has had a very good past. Carfax said no major things and no accidents. We shall see if the dealer wishes to part with it for what I want, otherwise I will take the advice of looking into 2003 models (or something else). |

| I want a Passat Wagon,,,I am a bit up in the air about the 1.8 vs the 6 cylinder. I have a guy who can get me an 02 GLX 4 motion for 18k....it has 28k miles on it. after reading around on here for awhile, this doesn't seem like that great of a deal. what should I tell him I will give him for it? Can I really get an 05 GLS wagon for under 20k?? any and all help GREATLY appreciated!!---Aframe | |

I'm a current 2004 Passat GLS TDI owner and plan on selling it this spring. I've tried listing it once on autotrader.com and only got a bunch of lowball offers(19-20K) from dealers in California. It's a great car. Blue graphite exterior, grey leatherette, upgraded to 16" VW Vancouver rims and new Michellin tires($1500), has ESP - electronic stabilization and cold weather package, 6 CD player. It has about 15,500 miles and all maintenance has been done by the dealer. I was hoping to get about $23K. Is this realistic?? Anyone recommend selling by Ebay?? thanks
