#503 of 3318 can I get a better deal? by kat34 Feb 01, 2001 (8:38 pm)
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!!
#504 of 3318 Bought a 2001.5 GLS this week by njcarl Feb 02, 2001 (6:35 pm)
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...

where did you find out about the $1000 incentive and how long is it in effect? nothing listed in edmunds. I bought my wife a 98 cabrio for true invoice in 9/98 after I found a $750 factory/dealer incentive on edmunds. if this current incentive is nationwide, I am sure I can get my dealer to do it again. baby on the way, hate to give up the sunshine, fortunately wife loves the pas sat, as do i.

I am also looking for a 2001.5 4Motion sedan in the Northern NJ area. Were you quoted prices for a lease or a purchase? Which other NJ dealers did you go to (and end up buying from)? I have just started looking and I'm interested to know what I can expect. Interestingly enough, I called Jack Daniels VW & Three County VW and they both mentioned not having 4Motions until sometime in April. Thanks!
#510 of 3318 $1000 off by namxleena Feb 03, 2001 (10:59 am)
I was told at the dealer that they do have a $1000 incentive but if I take that, I would not be able to get the 4.9% financing. So, the $1000 is there...it's just not advertised or published anywhere.

I did not purchase a 4-Motion myself; I was just passing some info along to Janus010 based upon my recent search and purchase of a 2001.5 GLS 4 Cyl in the Central/Northern NJ area. I'm a bit surprised that Three County said they were not expecting any until April; the latest inventory list they sent me dated Feb 2nd showed one GLX Auto-4 Mo (stock #618409)in PINE Green w/ Blk leather int. (I mistakenly stated Fresco Grn in my post y'day). Did you talk to or email their internet sales guy? Gensinger Motors is only a few miles away from Three County, although I did'nt personally visit them (but have heard good things about them from people I work with).   Anyway, I was interested in purchasing only. I finally made my deal at Linden VW in Linden, NJ. I also visited Reydel VW in Edison; good stock (big VW dealership!)but they seemed a bit rigid on the pricing - maybe it was just the salesman I had.   Good luck in yr search..
#512 of 3318 Deals on the "New" Passat by sundance_gold Feb 04, 2001 (7:42 am)
We test drove the new passat last night and really liked it. It seems to be a big step forward for VW, especially interms of engine performance and sound isolation (much less wind noise). We are considering ordering one but edmunds doesn't have TMV prices up yet.   What would be a fair deal on a GLS V6, w/o leather, but with luxury, monsoon, and cold weather packages?   Anyone buy one in the DC area?
