I assume everyone's excited about the new B6 but I decided to stick with a classic and purchased a new 2005 B5 wagon yesterday. I just couln't pass up the discounts they are offering. $3500 VW to Dealer discount - $500 VW loyalty discount - $1500 dealer discount means I got a new GLS 1.8 Auto Wagon with a sticker price of $27,070 for $21,570. In order to get the $500 loyalty discount we had to finance with VW's non promotoional rate but this can be refinanced after 90 days with a non VW loan for a much lower rate.

Planning to purchase a 2003GLX wagon 30k for 17000. I am wondering it is a GLX but has no leather, what other option do I miss or do I need to look for. Any body out there has the certified experience? Thanks Fredlj

Hi; Looking for a sanity check will buy Friday a CPO Wagon GLS 2003 with 30K miles for 18300++. Is that a fair price? Dealer (VW) claims new back brakes ( incl rotor) and new tires. Are brakes lasting that short on a Passat? TIA Frederik Looking forward to hear from anybody.

Carsdirect.com is reporting that there is a dealer rebate of $2000 on the GLS sedan. I know that some companies offer incentives/rebates more often than others (Acura is notorious for their few incentives); does Volkswagen offer such incentives often? It seems to me that a $2000 rebate is pretty significant, and if they only come once or so per quarter, it might be wise to hasten my search? Also, from those of you who own Passats, do you think it would make a practical collegiate/post-graduate car? For $21k, it seems like it has a lot of space, class, safety, etc. to it without being a complete dad car. Any responses would be appreciated. Thank you, Dan

Replying to: frederiklj (Aug 04, 2005 3:37 pm) I only have 600 miles on my new Passat, so I cannot answer that specifically. However, I suspect that short brake life more reflects driving style. I drive some back roads where the speed limit is 45. Unobstructed, I can zip along at 55. But I usually find myself behind an unskilled driver who brakes into every gentle turn and on every gentle downgrade. That driver will wear out brakes in 18,000 miles or less. I can get 40,000 or 50,000 since I can control my vehicle better and I do mostly highway driving. |
