Replying to: bradfa (Apr 27, 2005 4:14 pm) 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. They have been removed. |

| (Boston) Just bought a new 04' GLS wagon (leather, auto, cold pkg, low emission) listed for 27,600. I offered 20,000... Back and forth, left dealership, and then got a call back on cell in an hr. Bought for 20,750...think I did pretty well. | |
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 aillon hotmail.com or post it here. Thanks for your help.

hey y'all, I'm about to join the Passat world and right now I'm at the final stage of negotiating with the dealer. for the trim I requested, which is 2005 Passat GLS 1.8T Fwd 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5A) with ESP and cold weather package, MSRP is $26070, Edmunds invoice is $23914, True Market Value is $24577, and the dealer's quote is $22681 + tt&l. can anyone please tell me if this sounds a good deal? I'm not sure what you guys were getting at. current incentive is $1500. holdback is 2%. I guess I need to verify the tt&l part as well. maybe more triques there? thanks a lot!
