| I just purchased a 2001.5 GLX at Rusty Wallace VW in Dallas. I shopped all the VW dealers. Call Matias Hodges at 214/349-5559. He is willing to work with you. Some of the others dealers would not budge. The buying experience was pleasant. I'm picking the car up this afternoon. I suggest you give him a call. | |
| how did your deal turn out? | |

Hello all, I am new to the board and am hopeful that I may be able to contribute as much good knowledge as I have read here so far. I am going to be buying a VR6 GLS wagon with manual, preferably green. The dealers that I have spoken with tell me that there are only 4 wagons in the entire state (CA), with these options let alone luxury, leather or Monsson. My question is whether anyone knows how to find actual dealer stock here in CA? I have been all over the net and have had some dealers send me pictures but I am trying to find TRUE answers to this question. Thanks |

| janey2 - you got a 01 Auto GLX 4Motion for 28750? Wow - that's almost 2K under invoice! I'm considering a Passat and I live in Columbus, too. MAG's reputation is a great buying experience but that they're less likely to negotiate because of all that overhead. So much for that notion. Can you recommend your sales person at either (MAG and Hatfield) dealership? Thanks. | |

littledeb74, I just learned it when I shopped around that VW dealer received $1000 rebate for the 2001 models. I hope that is the difference you are looking at. Good luck, naph11 |

Here's the deal I was offered: Passat GLS, 4cylinder, auto, power sunroof, 15" alloy wheels, anti-theft wheel locks and a rear sunshade (luxury package PJ6), and Monsoon sound system for $22,000 (~$250 below invoice). Someone above said s/he got the cold weather package included with that same price. I am thinking about asking for the cold weather package (of course) and a CD player for $22,000. Fair price? Assuming they get $1000 rebate and 2% holdback, this equates to roughly a ~$900 profit. |

| I have been set on buying a 2001 GLS V6 passat. However, I found a deal - A 2000 GLX passat fully loaded, including a bra, a spoiler and a 6 CD changer. This car only has 3800 miles on it and is being priced at 24,400. Should I go for it? SHould I hold out for the 2001.5 passat - it is not being offered at any dealerships here in Indianapolis. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!! | |

I just finalized my deal on a 2001.5 this week; the car is in at the port and delivery to my dealer is expected w/in a week or so. Here's the details: 2001.5 GLS, 4 Cyl, Auto Trans, Lux Pkg, Monsoon Sound, Silverstone Grey, Total Price (excluding sales tax, & DMV fees = $23900. If I've got my calculations right (price incr on 2001.5 GLS only $300 more than 2001; no increase on any options) , that's about $800 above invoice (or about $1300 below MSRP). For a brand new 2001.5, I think that's a pretty good/fair deal. I'm fortunate to be in the New York Metro area (Central/Northern New Jersy actually) where there's quite a few VW dealers to chose from. I visited three: the 1st would only go $575 below MSRP, the other two were dealing. The sale of these cars did seem to be going pretty well, but the supply coming into the dealers seemed pretty good as well (I saw all the new Passat colors between the 3 dealers). In response to a query by JANUS010(post #475)who is looking for a 2001.5 4 motion in Northern NJ area, have you checked out Three County VW in Lyndhurst, NJ? Check out their website via www.vw.com (Go to "Find Dealers"). Internet Sales Mngr is Mike Washington and he's pricing via internet sales at 3.85% above invoice. I've got his current inventory list for the 2001.5s and he's got one 4 motion in the new Fresco Green now on the lot. I didn't end up going with them as I got a slightly better deal at dealer closer to home for me. Based upon my experience, I would say that if you happen to be in an area with a good selection of VW dealers, you will NOT have to pay MSRP or thereabouts. I can't wait to get my hands on the car; they drive and look great!! (I test drove 3 other 2001.5 4 cyl automatics in my search) Happy Hunting... |
