Just received a quote today on a '08 Passat Komfort (w/ heated seats) of $26,689. Also, was made aware that $1,500 in trade assistance is available for trading in a Honda. Lease quote as follows: 36 months (12K/YR) $0 down ($550 due at signing) Pmts: $366 + Tax MF: 0.00115 Residual: 50% (MSRP $28,655) Does this look like a good deal? Milwaukee, WI |

This forum has been great, so I figured I should go through the rigmarole of signing up to add to the database of knowledge. Shopping in the Mid-Atlantic for a 2008 Passat Wagon, Turbo (base) manual, no options. MSRP: 25,900 approx. Getting offers of 22,400 +TTL as of end of January, 2008. Going to pick the most friendly dealer within the week.

what should I be paying for a 2008 Komfort Wagon with heated seats and 17" wheels on a 36mo, 12K lease? I am rolling $6400 of neg into the deal, and the dealer is telling me $560 with all incentives and taxes. MSRP is $30,134. i would think it would be lower. |

I just bought an 2005 TDI Passat GLS wagon 5A this past week for $21,900. This car will be for my daughter. 40,003 miles on it when it arrived. It came from Nebraska to Colorado; the previous owner drove it here for me. It was very hard to find this car. I looked all over the US for it, which took me 2 months to find. It's in pretty good shape; however, it needs the 40K mile service immediately which wasn't an expense I wanted, but I got the seller to knock off $2000 from his price. It looks like it may have an oil leak that needs addressing and the brake light recall still needs doing too. Good thing it's still under warranty! The price was still higher than I had wanted to pay, but these cars are in high demand so I had to swallow hard and just go for it. We really wanted it. We plan to run it on Bio-diesel as soon as the tank needs filling again. The previous owner filled it up with regular diesel just before we bought it, which was nice of him. He messed up the title tho while filling it out; so, I'll have to wait until I have clear title before I can take it into the shop. Guess we won't be driving it until all that is done.  I'm also buying an '05 Jetta TDI with only 36K on it this coming week too. This one is local so any issues can be delt with more easily. Will be getting that one for $17K. |

Hello all. I just wanted to share my experience with you all by using Edmunds website in researching for my 08 Passat. Today I just purchased a brand new (mocha brown exterior, latte machiato interior) 2008 Passat "Lux" with the additional options of the DVD Navigation (NV), rear side airbags (4X4) and Dynaduio (9VE) for $455 above dealer's invoice. After getting the additional $1500 rebate and trading in my 2001 Toyota 4x4 and got 10K for it, the final cost was $20554. Purchased in Daytona Beach, FL... MSRP: $33940 Dealer's Invoice: $31579 Edmund's True Market Value (TMV): $32088 Actual Purchase price w/Rebate included: $30554 Total Savings below MSRP:$3386. Yesterday, however, another VW dealer would've had me pay 680 over invoice, another 500 for transport fees to his lot, and 1K on rebate, and 10,500 on my truck. He was absolute in his price for the EXACT same vehicle color, options, etc... I confronted him about the rebate, letting him know that VW offered 1500 for rebates, and of course he played it off by saying he wasn't aware of it (sure he wasn't). I of course did not reveal to him that I already knew what MSRP was, what the Dealer invoice was, and more importantly what the TMV was. Bottom line, I would've paid almost $1500 more than I did had I not done my research using Edmunds.com. The point in all this is that, if it wasn't for edmund's I wouldn't have known whether or not I was making a good deal for ME or for the Dealer. Today, it was a win-win situation for both the dealer I worked with in Daytona Beach (vs. Jacksonville) and me getting a fair deal all the way around. So I just wanted to say THANKS to Edmunds, and to everyone else who shares their good and bad experiences on here, for making me a much more informed consumer....God Bless the USA!!!

Replying to: opositively (Apr 11, 2008 5:35 pm) I am buying a Passat through a special buyer's program w/my company that offers deep discount off the msrp (it is best not to get specific, but it is in the 20-25% off msrp range). Too good a deal to pass up, after test-driving the car and liking it! The thing is: I really wanted the Lux trim line, but it turned out VW ended their production year early and I was left with a dilemma... I could only choose from existing cars and there were just a handful, and no Lux's. I found a Komfort that matched my color requirements (exactly) and came with one, minor option that didn't add too much to the MSRP. After some debate, I decided to take it. After reading some forums, it sounds like I did the right thing because there apparently will be no Lux's for 2009. If that's true (and if the CC models are in the upper 30k range), then it reinforces my feeling I acted correctly. I was wondering if you all agree. I've read SO MUCH online about the haggles of car-buying, that I thought this was a great way to get a guaranteed great deal. (btw, I knew that VW had a loyalty rebate but I assume it only applied to VW owners. Even if that isn't true, I still got a great deal--though not quite as great as it would seem if you went purely by Edmunds, etc)
