Well I decided to sign up to share my story.
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)

In Portland, OR, I saw a dealer advertising "1 car" at $6100 off MSRP. Not bad. So a $26,000 car is just under $20K.

I traded my 02 Passat 4 Motion for a different make over the 4th of July weekend. VW was the first car I looked at before I switched sides. I think you can get a real sweet deal right now. I didn't work up any numbers for the purchase price with the dealer, but they offered a high trade in allowance and kept calling me with promises of great prices.
 
I loved my 02 Passat. The only issue I have is they seem to be unreliable after the warranty expires. I spent over 3000 on repairs after the first 4 years of owning this car (last two years) and had an estimate of over 1500 for current engine problems. Had 82000 miles on engine. I don't know about the reliability of the new models. I think the VW is superior to the Asian and American makers in all areas except for the reliability.
 
If I decided to purchase the Passat, I would work my lowest deal then ask for an extended warranty for free or for a small fee. It's a fun car to drive. I know all cars have issues, I'm just saying get the extra warranty and you won't go wrong.

08 Passat Wagon by emmapants

I'm looking to buy an 08 Passat Wagon Turbo. How much below invoice do I want to pay? I'm being told $27,150 MSRP and they are offering it for $24900, I want to pay $23000. Is this too high for the 08 now that the 09s are out? Consumer reports is telling me that the dealer price after holdbacks etc is 23,665.

i was just curious of you posters who are complaining about the money you are
spending on repairs for a car still under warranty? you are aware VWs warranty on the B6 is 4/50 with 5/60K on powertrain? I am wondering if you are paying out
of pocket on that? very misleading.

wow i really admire your ability to get such a great deal. could you please share some tips on how you achieved your goal? it seems like i was too naive to bring in my research folder with the msrp, invoice, tmv written all over my papers.
