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. |

| 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. |

My wife and I pick up her 2008 Passat wagon tomorrow. We paid $29,000 for it. Its sticker price was $30,200. Probably could have done better given that a 2009 wagon had just arrived but we also got the 60 months at 0% financing so that was good. This is the Komfort with heated seats and the floor mats and mud guards option. Only had 13 miles as the sales manager said it was the last 2008 he had ordered. Would have loved a manual but my wife preferred the automatic and there were only 2 2008's left. I bought my 2001.5 1.8t Passat (manual) at the same dealership and have 145,000 miles on it and virtually no problems. A few headlights here and there (better since I pulled the fuse on the DRLs) and a couple vacuum hoses but other wise just wear and tear issues. Only had to replace brakes front and rear once and original turbo still going strong. Dealer service has been great. Always use 93 octane and always use full synthetic Mobil 1. Even when dealer provided service I brought my own oil. Best car I have ever owned.
