#2617 of 3318 05' GLS Wagon Carsdirect Price vs. Dealers? by sundhario1 May 18, 2005 (12:54 pm)
I'm interested in purchasing an automatic 05' GLS Wagon -- I've priced it out on Carsdirect which quotes $23,295. Is this consistent with what people are getting from dealers or lower/higher? I'm wondering if I can get an 05' for even cheaper as we approach the release of the new body style -- perhaps closer to 22K? Replies to this message: oliverx (May 20, 2005 1:11 pm)

Replying to: sundhario1 (May 18, 2005 12:54 pm) I bought my 04 GLS from Carsdirect last year. It was the lowest price I could get anywhere. You should call your local dealers to compare the price.
#2619 of 3318 Oil consumption and gas mpg by jimcarr May 21, 2005 (12:27 pm)
I have followed this and other forums for some 6 months and have seen several comments on subject items.   At 5K miles I have not had to add any oil and have never gotten less than 27mpg. On a recent 750 mile jaunt the average was 28 mpg.   I have a 04 Passat with automatic and am quite happy with the car. The only comment that I might have is the initial confusion on what type of oil to use. Replies to this message: oliverx (May 23, 2005 12:52 pm)
#2620 of 3318 What do I do? by elly May 23, 2005 (12:05 am)
Hi there,   I've been looking for a used / certified SOLID, great car. I just moved to LA and am looking for a VW. I test drove an 02 Jetta GLS at a dealership today, which they tried to sell to me for $13995 with 24000 miles on it. I wasn't that impressed and the cloth interior seems to be one that attracts lint. I saw a 2001 Passat turbo 1.8 in a dark bluey/gray kind of color, and it has 32000k on it and is loaded. They are asking $15,900. I know the TMV for this is $13,024. What would you offer as a maximum? They only offer 2 yr / 50k warranty on certified cars. I also saw online at another dealership they are asking $14,995 for the same 2001 Passat in black before negotiation. I need some input on what people think.   Does anyone here suggest buying a Passat? Or should I just go buy a Toyota? I've just been reading that a lot of people have been having problems with 01-03 Jetta's and Passats. I can't afford brand new though. When you walk in on your own as a woman, they automatically try and screw you on a price.

Replying to: jimcarr (May 21, 2005 12:27 pm) I have the same car, because driving usually in the city my mileage is really bad. It's about 16 - 18 mpg. When on highway, it can go about 30+ mpg.
#2623 of 3318 $22.5k? best? by teflon80 May 26, 2005 (5:49 am)
the best i could get was $22.5 quoted. 05 gls passat 1.8t FWD auto moonroof leatherette. msrp 26,070   2 dealers said they'd beat it, but I'd have to go in. I'm waiting for june incentives to come out.
#2624 of 3318 It's not easy to find any GL Passat Wagon by lyonsee May 29, 2005 (12:27 pm)
Trying to find any GL Passat Wagon, Manual or Auto, TDI or Gas. Not easy in NC.   There is one GLS Wagon, 2004, Auto, with 500 mileage on it. I offered $20K but the dealer did not even think about that.   From Carsdirect, they offered me a GL Wagon, Manual, at $20K, but they said they are still looking for such a model. I do not think they can find any one in the coming weeks. Replies to this message: elly (May 30, 2005 9:46 pm)

Replying to: lyonsee (May 29, 2005 12:27 pm) Look on Autotrader.com in your area and put in a mile radius you;re willing to consider for the search. I hope that helps.
#2626 of 3318 Re: New 2004 Passat 1.8L Tourbo GLS [mjtian] by halsie May 31, 2005 (6:23 pm)
Replying to: mjtian (Jan 16, 2005 12:10 pm) I actually just looked at one, and will be signing soon. The 2004 manual was offered at $15,477, the 2004 automatic GL was offered at $17,900 and the GLS automatic with leather option was offered for $20,900. I'm not sure that this is a good deal as it was hard to compare online as all new models were automatically 2005 and 2004 was considered new. These are brand new- 25-45 miles.   Was yours a manual?
