| Should add the $22,600 (post #39) I paid included Tiptronic Automatic Transmission as well as the luxury package. | |

By invoice I refer to the dealer invoice or the so called price the dealer paid Volkswagon for the car. The offer was made at Koons Volkswagon in Marlow Heights, MD I'm hoping to buy 2-morrow, I refer if I feel good about it. I've also heard good things about it Stolzman(sp?) in Tysons Corner, VA |

Car_man There appears to be some 2001 pricing for certain vehicles. I was wondering if there is any way of finding out what the price would be for a VW Passat 2001. For over a month now I have been attempting to purchase a Passat 2000 to no avail. At this point I feel the next thing to do is order a 2001. The last dealer I spoke with, in the NJ area, stated that he would be receiving the 2001 Passat's by the end of July or beginning of August. I currently have a pre-approved loan through a CU and if possible I would prefer it not to expire (expiration is the 2nd week of August). Is there any information that would be available on "vehicle cost" prior to or by the expected delivery date to VW dealers. Going by last years increase of 1.5% I would not figure that there should be much of a difference this year. Would that be a safe asset? |

Hi footprints. The only 2001 model year pricing that I have seen for Volkswagens at this point is on the Cabrio. I suspect that Volkswagen will release the pricing for the rest of its 2001 models in the not so distant future. It's hard to say exactly how much the '01 model Passat will cost, but I don't expect that it will be very different than the 2000 model. Car_Man Smart Shoppers / FWI Co-Host |

I am in NYC. I am looking to buy a Passat GLS 1.8 liter or a Passat GLS-V6. How much of a percentage over Dealer Invoice (or Consumer Reports Wholesale Price) is reasonable? My wife only drives automatic, so, unfortunately, I need that. We also want Green exterior with Gray interior. For GLS - Dlr Inv + auto + Dest. chg.= $20,893 For GLS V6 - Dlr Inv + auto + Dest.chg.= $23,242 I don't want to pay over 4% because I'm going to get whacked with an 8 1/4% sales tax as well. Comments??? |

Putchie, 4% over should be fine for most models out there, depending on availability. I'm in Virginia, and on the 4-cyl 4% would be a done deal. On the 6-cyl, however, they are fast disappearing here, so in this area, you would have to fight for that price. Hopefully for you, NY has a bunch for you. Jason |

Carman, I have been mulling the deal over the weekend and did I get a good deal? When I really think about it, I am getting an almost year old car for 100 over invoice - should I wait and see what the 2001 prices are? Or do I still have room to negotiate a few hundred off? Your thoughts? Thanks, Newfi64 |

New, I've been mulling the same thing about waiting for the 2001 models. It's a tough choice. Friday, a miracle happened (well, we'll see). There was an ad in the paper for a 99 GLX. It has 22K miles. More than I wanted, but they are asking $22,5 for it which is great in this area (Raleigh). I'm going to test drive it tonight. Does anyone know the differences between a 99 and 2000? Kelley Blue Book has this car market for $28,850 and trade in for $24,160. Is there a way to find out what will be new on the 2001s? |

Newfi64, I think that $100 over invoice is a great deal for the car that you got. I don't believe that the 2001 Passats are even out yet and even when they do come out there won't be much of a difference from the 2000 model. I really doubt that the dealership that you're buying from will go any lower on this car than they already have. This is one of the better deals that I've seen on a Passat. Enjoy your new car.

Newfi here! Thanks for the replies - I am picking my new car up tonight. Funny thing is I can't seem to get too excited about going back into debt. after not having a car payment for 10 years. I am sure once I get in the car that will all change!! As for what will be different in the 2001's, I cannot get any answers from my sales guy. He said he thought they may actually get some info. this week or next, as far as pricing, but nothing on any changes. he seemed pretty confident it will remain pretty much the same. Good luck with your 99 GLX farfenugen, I hope it all works out for you. And thanks for the reply Carman, I have heard from several people that $100 over invoice is a really good deal, especially when I read some of the other messages. |
