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.

To the person wanting a 5 Speed, Indigo Passat with Leather Interior - Try contacting the Countryside Volkswagen dealership in Maplewood, MN. I just saw one with the sunroof package on their showroom floor last night 6/27/00. Good Luck.

I was shopping at a dealership in suburban Boston on 6/26. The dealer volunteered that 2001 Passats will be available by the last week of July. He thought the car would be unchanged including colors and possibly even price. More importantly, though, he said the model was scheduled to be changed midway through the 2001 model year, available by early 2001. He said the revised model will have updated front & rear exteriors giving it a new look. The car will also be called a 2001 model. (They did the same with the Jetta for the 1999 model year - the 99's came out early, and later in the year a completely new "1999" was introduced.
#53 of 3318 purchase outside area by lellis1 Jun 28, 2000 (11:16 pm)
Bare with me this is my first time. I'm seriously considering a GLS Passat. The only thing holding me back (other than money) right now is the thought of buying outside of my immediate area. The closest dearlership is 18 miles away but they don't seem real eager to deal and they don't have what I want. They sell a lot of high end autos. I'll have to go anywhere from 60 to 150 miles away to purchase and have found some pretty good prices. I'm worried about what my service experience might be when I need to take it to the close, high end dealer. Should I be concerned about that? I noticed a lot of you have gone outside your area.
#54 of 3318 PASSAT PRICING IN THE ST. LOUIS, MO AREA by himignatin Jun 30, 2000 (3:14 am)
I am interested in purchasing a 2000 GLS V6 Passat. Is there anyone out there that knows what the going price is in this area? Any particular dealer one could recommend? What is a good price? I've read in this forum that $500 over the invoice price is a good deal. Will be waiting for your response. Thanks. Himig
#55 of 3318 Himig by im_brentwood Jun 30, 2000 (5:21 am)
Actually.. I sell VWs in St. Louis! Im not quite sure I am inclined to believe what I see on these boards sometimes.. However, We basically hold to or very close to MSRP on our Passats. I just got back from Training on the new 4motions over in Westport and that seemed to be the consensus from the salespeople from Suntrup and St Charles as well.. IF you'd like.. you can always feel free to e-mail me if you'd like to discuss market conditions.. Bill
#56 of 3318 I just bought by jbratter Jun 30, 2000 (1:41 pm)
my new Passat! After a two month search for the right car (VW vs Accord vs Camry), I decided I wanted the Passat. Probaby 20% more dollars than the Accord SE (2nd place), but the driving experience was worth it. I think I got good deal - $400 over invoice (plus $167 of other "costs"). I originally wanted the automatic, but after test driving the 5-speed, I quickly changed my tune. Plus, then I could afford the leather package. I was lucky enough to find one without the Monsoon package, since I'll be installing "real" audio equipment down the road. Anyway, here's what it was: Invoice 19,293 Leather 1,126 Luxury 1,325 sub 21,744 adv/prep 167 desitination 525 profit 400 sub 22,836 then ttl brought it up to $24.3 I think it helped going there right at the end of a model year, plus the end of the month, not to mention the end of a quarter. Of course I got the shpiel (sp?) about driving him out of business, and the greatest thing was, he ended up practically begging me for an additional $63 to make the deal. I asked him if he needed $5 for lunch!!! I'm picking it up today. BTW, about the 2001 models, there was a post on one of the Passat boards that showed a picture of the 2001. Not much difference from 2000. I think that between the base price going up 1-2%, and not being able to get such a great deal, it would have cost almost $1k more to get the 2001. Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I'm just a real happy camper right now! Thanks to everyone for all their insight, both on the Passat boards, and especially the Accord boards, where I found that Honda isn't really what it used to be, as far as quality and reliabilty.
