I drove the 2007 3.6 Wagon Sport w/18" wheels. The dealer let me take it for a weekend test drive. I thought it was a great car. Plenty of power, comfortable and safe. The adjustable headlights are very cool. My wife and I currently own two Passats and we think they are great cars. We have not pulled the trigger, however, since we do not want to take on a car payment at this time. When we are ready I believe we will probably buy the car.
 
Price wise it looks like a very good deal for you. Are there any miles on the car? It almost sounds too good to be true.

Lot's of talk of you guys getting below invoice for sedans, dealer quoted $500 over invoice for wagon w/#2. Down side for me is I like the color and there is not another one within 200+ miles in color combo. Anyone think I should be able to buy under invoice? I like the sound of at least $750 below.....I might should just hang up the color issue...

I think that is a deal that just about any dealer will make on a leftover '06..
 
I notice that all of the local VW dealers have ads with big discounts on '06s..

2006 Passat 2.0T buying experience by ynn18

After several days testing drives and negotiation with dealer, I finalized the price of a 2006 2.0T passat with luxury packge #2 and dynaudio for 24000 and it was 4100 below the invoice. The car has 500 miles on it. But I need to find the financing other than VW. Is it a worth deal?
 
the point is when I was ready to sign the paperwork, the dealer tell me the horn did not work so I could not get the car today. They told me they could fix it next Monday and it was not a big problem. But I was so upset and frustrated and So I quited the deal and left.
 
How should I further negotiate with the dealer? more discount on the car or just another car (hard to find the car with same options). The horn failure puts some shadow in me about the car's quality. maybe I should try other brand.
 
What do you think? Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks!

I drove the car today and was impressed with the power and overall quality. It has 69 miles on it, 7 of which are mine. My only concerns about this car are whether the rear seat legroom is adequate for a 14 year old that's 5'-8" and still growing and whether the reliability of the electronics has improved over the 2005 models. If it weren't the worst time of year to be buying a car I would probably have taken the deal today. As things stand I told the dealer I'd let him know Monday. The salesman claims the $25,560 price is non-negotiable and according to him it is below dealer cost. VW is making up the difference to move them off the lot but the offer ends on December 31. Anyone think I can do any better price-wise than that? There were four similar 2006 3.6L Passats still on the lot this morning but one of them sold today while I was talking with the salesman. I'm fairly certain a Passat will be my next car and I doubt the price will ever be better but the timing really stinks!

The horn problem is likely just a fuse..
 
You might be feeling some sort of buyer's remorse and the horn thing was just a reason to step back from the deal.
 
If that is the car you want, just go back and get it.. If you had already agreed on a deal, I don't think the dealer will feel any need to lower the price for a horn that can easily be fixed.
 
Just the view from here...
 
Good luck,

Thanks for the reply and I really appreciate it.
Well, I dont think it is a easy problem to fix. The dealer told me they needed to updated the computer in the car, which sounds a bigger problem.
 
I like the car. But just worried the potential problems down the road.

Looking at 06 3.6l 4Motion MSRP is $37,780, Dealer is offering invoice of $35,266 less $3500, or $31766 plus tax and fees. Are dealers going much below invoice?
 
May move in the next few days, any feedback is appreciated.

I think you should be looking somewhere at least $1000 less than that...
 
My local dealer was advertising $7K off MSRP on their leftover '06 3.6 models...
 
The last week of the year? I might shoot for $30K even..
