#2600 of 3318 New '04 Passat Wagon purchase by howdie May 01, 2005 (7:09 pm)
I recently bought a new '04 Passat GLS Wagon 1.8T in Oregon for $20,670. The MSRP was $26,635. I thought this was a very good deal on this vehicle. Added bonus in Oregon is no sales tax. The dealer also had a new '04 GL Wagon with Monsoon and cold weather package for $18,970 but I just missed this one and settled on the model with the sunroof and alloy wheels for a little bit more.   This is my first VW vehicle since a van about 20 years ago. Just recently am out of a 99 Subaru Forester and am looking for a much better ride in the Passat. In my younger days I had a '64 Bug, '67 Bug, '67 Fastback, and a '64 Van. We used to be able to fix most things on the older vehicles but I wouldn't have a clue anymore. I'm hoping the Passat holds up well as I am very impressed with it's quality so far - except for storage space in the front. Don't see many nooks and crannies to keep all of the stuff that goes along with today's lifestyle.   Is there any aftermarket makers of storage type accessories for the Passat?

Replying to: tomsawyer (May 01, 2005 7:11 am) tomsawyer, that is not a good deal IMO. You should be closer to 24 K than to 26 K for that car. I would keep looking unless you are locked in to it now.
#2602 of 3318 Re: 2002 Passat GLS 1.8T 5-speed [bradfa] by bradfa May 02, 2005 (7:46 am)
Replying to: bradfa (Apr 27, 2005 4:14 pm) Sooooo.... As of now, I'm not buying that Passat. Went to dealership, waited around for a little bit to talk with the sales guy I had worked with when I test drove and got the carfax, watched the Yankees game. When I got to speak with him, he brought the car around, we looked at it again, I showed him the little scratches and the one tiny dent I wanted to make sure he saw, and asked questions about the warranty. We went inside.    I said I was interested. He says, sticker price, 16999. I say, well lookie here, I found trade in value on KBB, and it says $11000, I offer $12500. I notice these numbers are very far apart. Sales dude walks over to sales manager, shows him my offer and my KBB print out, I hear sales manager laugh loudly from across the dealership. My sales dude and the sales manager come back, sales manager introduces himself and tells me that my offer is below what he paid at auction. I find this odd, why would you pay below trade in value for a passat at auction and then try to sell it for just under what a new passat costs? I ask him what he paid at auction, and if I could see the invoice, he says no way. I tell him, "well then, I assume you paid the trade in value or less." Sales manager says, "the internet doesn't sell cars, I sell cars." Which I found very funny.    Sales manager says, he can do 16999. I say, ok, how about 14000. Sales manager says, 16300. I say, ok, 14500. He says I am still not going to make him any money. He brings out NADA retail price that he printed out, it says 17--- something. I got a NADA quote from the NADA site as well, mine says 16 even. I tell sales manager "no dice" and get my papers back together. Sales dude, who is still the "good guy" asks me how high I would go, I say 15000, cause thats as high as I will go, thats all I think the car is worth from doing research. Sales manager goes back to his little table with the other managers.    I thank the sales dude, who was actually very helpful, he spent probably 3 hours working with me when I told him I was not interested in buying the car. I get up to leave. Sales manager comes back, shows me a sheet of average prices paid for cars at the last auction he went to. 1.8T GLS Passat from 2002 in stick shift went for average of 13400 at an auction on march 30, 2005. This seems interesting, he wouldn't show me this unless he paid less.    I left. We will see if they call me. But thought that some of you interested in used prices would like to know that at the end of march 1.8T GLS Passats from 2002 were going to dealers for around $13400 in the northeast.   This was at Nemer VW in Latham, NY.   PS: Sorry that my original post of this message did not meet the guidelines of the forum, I included some things that I shouldn't have.

#2605 of 3318 Dealers in Rhode Island, Boston, or Eastern CT by aillon May 05, 2005 (3:09 pm)
Could anyone point me the right direction on a dealer in Rhode Island, Boston, or Eastern CT? Perhaps a city would do, not sure of the rules here. I can't find any of these great prices around here people are talking about. Looking for 05 GLS wagon or a used GLS TDI passat wagon. If you have a TDI to sell let me know too. Please email me at aillonhotmail.com or post it here. Thanks for your help. Replies to this message: dolphin (May 07, 2005 9:14 am) jbaer (May 07, 2005 4:11 pm)
