#474 of 3318 Edmunds website and Passat prices by nmayr Jan 28, 2001 (6:55 am)
Hi Folks, our local dealer received two of the new 2001.5 Passats yesterday (GLS 4 cyl autos, one in that wonderful new Silver, the other Mojave), but doesn't know when he will get more. (He hadn't received pricing info or new brochures.)   1) When will Edmunds update its website to reflect the changes in the Passat?   2) Does anybody know about prices for the new Passats?   Thanks.

Where (what dealership, city, salesman) did you buy your 4Motion? Did total price include destination, etc.   Thanks!
#476 of 3318 2001.5 4 cyl. by gpapaseraphim Jan 28, 2001 (7:29 am)
Hi. Yesterday I put a deposit on a new 2001.5 GLS 4 cyl. Passat. Our dealer here in NY is getting less than 10 models in this week. Mine should be in on Wed. Dealer was only willing to go a few hundred below MSRP....(our lease is based on $22700 price which was the lowest he would go) I was slightly disappointed but I understand that all of these models (2-4 cylinders and 8 V6s fully loaded with leather and luxury packages) would be sold out within a week or two. Most are already on hold. I would have loved to order the V6s but with all the options it would be too much to finance for me..... even leasing payments would be too high. So, we opted for the 4 cylinder base. Although I haven't seen it, I think it would be a good choice. We got it in the greystone color which everyone here says is gorgeous...... would have preferred the bluish gray color but as is always the case, you hardly ever get the color you want. They didn't have a 4 cyl. to test drive but they said I will be able to test drive one of the new 4cyls. next week. We will probably go with the "Chase Leasing Plan" which includes $1500 damage. Papers would be signed this week. I hope I will be satisfied with the 4 cyl.
#477 of 3318 2001.5 repost by gpapaseraphim Jan 28, 2001 (11:52 am)
just checked out vw.com/passat and was wondering---on the bottom of the screen is a flash rollover menu. If you move your mouse to the right where the "gallery" is a darkish silver car appears. To those who have seen the greystone color----is that the color? Also, I haven't even seen a 4 cyl. I assume it does not come with the wood inserts...what does it look like without the wood? Thanks for your help.

We actually got 7 of them in on Thursday. And we sold 3 of them on Saturday, and 1 on Sunday so far (days not over yet!). The Mojave Beige is a super color, but I think the Silverstone is going to be the #1. Its almost midway between Anthracite and a regular Silver. The prices are around $350 more for GLS models and $600 more for GLX (I believe reflecting the Homelink system) Anyone have any thoughts on how hard it will be to sell a V6 though? I mean with only 20 HP difference, we're a little nervous about that here.   Jason
#479 of 3318 Passat GLS/GLX 4MOTION by janus010 Jan 28, 2001 (2:54 pm)
Looking to purchase a brand new 2001.5 v6 4Motion. Can anyone recommend any good dealerships w/ fair pricing in the Jersey/North Jersey area? Will be purchasing one before 2/15. Thanks.
#480 of 3318 2001.5 vs. 2001, which one to go? by naph11 Jan 28, 2001 (5:03 pm)
Wow, things really change fast!   I was out looking for a 2001 Passat this afternoon. The dealer swore that he doesn't know when the 2001.5 will be available and tried to assure me that if I would order one, I may have to wait for months to really get it. Then he tried to sell the 2001 to me.   The deal is: GAS 4 cyl auto, luxury package, cold weather package and monsoon sound system at $22,000 plus tax.   My question is, should I wait for 2001.5 or take this deal? From my research, there are quite a few improvements for the new facelift Passat, and now everybody is talking about the amazing silverstone color! Is the deal on 2001 good enough to go for?   Thanks!
#481 of 3318 2001.5 passat? by ajf10 Jan 28, 2001 (5:27 pm)
Hi everybody.   I am planning on buying a passat glx sedan with manual transmission. It would be ideal for me to buy it in june or july 2001, for personal reasons.   I have been trying to find out what the 2002 passat offers, and when it will arrive, but I have not been able to come up with any information. I saw reference to a 2001.5 passat here, and I was wondering what that was.   So, is there a 2002, if so is it different than the 2001.5, and what do they each offer compared to the 2001? When will they become available, and will I be able to find one in June, or will they be sold out?   Also, is it better to buy an aftermarket cd player or a VW cd. I would want a detachable faceplate cd player.   Thanks, Amory
#482 of 3318 Best DFW Deals & V6 vs 4 cyl by nowwhatndfw Jan 29, 2001 (11:25 am)
Anyone in callas/Fort Worth that can recommend (or warn) a dealer or source for a 2001.5?   Any pricing experiences in Texas would be much appreciated.   Is the lag on the 4 cyl as strong as Edmunds points out? I've driven the 2000 V6 tiptronic and was quite impressed but am worried about MPG hit for V6 versus 4 cyl. I have not had a chance to drive the 4. I don't want a manual as I am too tall to shift.
#483 of 3318 2001.5 pricing by snurple Jan 29, 2001 (12:28 pm)
Check out the Passat forum at vwvortex.com for the latest consumer-oriented information about buying and maintaining a Passat.   One buyer just reported picking up a 2001.5 GLX for $600 over invoice--that's $2000 BELOW MSRP!   New 2001.5 Passats CAN be had for hundreds over invoice--though the dealers who post here will say anything and everything to discourage you from expecting this.   In the same vein, remember that Edmunds TMV does not represent the BEST that you can do--it represents AN AVERAGE. This means that you can do much better than TMV--and balance out those who got sucker-punched by a dealer...
