Great prices on 2000, 2001, 2001.5 passats by bugboy1

I have been looking for a passat for quite some time now. I have searched all over the south east region of the U.S. The best selection I have found for not only my new passat but also every other model of WV was at Schumacher VW in West Palm Beach,Fl on okeechobee blvd. They have a huge selection of the new face lift passats. Their prices are better than just about everyone.
 
If you live in the south east area, I highly sudgest that you contact Brandon Carson At Schumacher VW (561)312-9562. He was very helpful In assisting me in my VW purchase.

I'm thinking of buying the WV 2001.5 GLX automatic with leather. To get the best deal, price will go down when 2002 comes out surely. Approx how much lower does the price go? When does 2002 come out?

Have not purchased anything yet. Still looking for a deal. I decided to look for a GLS v6 w/leather and luxury and skip the 4Mo. I have visited DCH and didn't like their pricing. I have yet to visit a dealership in Summit. Thanks for the info.

Does the $1000 off or 4.9% financing apply to the 2001.5's and is this a nationwide promotion or is this given by select dealers.

Special Volkswagen Credit subvented rates apply
only to 5 Speed Cars...Jetta, Beetle, Passat, etc.
and 2001 MY cars. The $1000 Incentive money applies only to 2001 Passats; not 2001.5, and with the Passat the dealer can only
provide you with one or the other...You can get the Rate or the
Discount, but not both...

Does anyone have any information on the new colors and where one might find a color chart. Several dealers have said that they receive cars well before the color charts/etc.
 
Thanks,

Hi,
You can check out www.scottvw.com for the new color palette. They are really nice!
My congrats to anyone making a deal on the new 2001.5 .
I have my eyes on a GLX auto. The dealers in my area (Northern Calif) will NOT budge from MSRP.
Regards, Yaeyah

Passat Pyramid Scheme (or "PPS" for short) by snurple
Feb 07, 2001 (3:08 pm)

yaeyah and my fellow Passaters--I just had a great idea for a Pyramid Scheme!!! [But beware everyone, like most pyramid schemes, it is subject to some misuse.]
 
You say, yaeyah, that the dealers in Northern California are not willing to sell 2001.5 Passats for below MSRP (booooo!!). BUT, what if I and others who are interested in buying a Passat in the near future were to send you $1 for every day that you WAIT to purchase your car. That way, you'd make a few bucks AND demand would decrease, driving DOWN prices across the country! Maybe I will wind up sending you $20 (or maybe $38, who knows)--BUT, if the net effect is a savings of hundreds (or even thousands) for me, than it is certainly worth it. And, if 20 people were to send you one dollar per day, you could accumulate enough for an optional cd-changer in just a few short weeks!!!
 
Now, how to make this work?...I suspect that all kinds of people will come out of the woodwork and claim that they have "already waited for two weeks to buy one, so could I please send them 15 bucks..." ! You can see how this could quickly degenerate into GREED--But please, people, let's not become like the dealers!!! To business:
 
1) We will need to divide the country into about 20 zones.
2) We will need to determine who will send the dollars to whom--but women and children should be first (wait, scratch that, that's only when there's limited room in the lifeboats!).
3) Those in states where Passats are already at dealerships are in a position to benefit the most--so we will need to institute a complicated "holdback" system, whereby those who receive in excess of $500 will need to send monies back to the Passat Pool (or PP)--this pool will be overseen and administered by me
4) Those intending to buy a Passat will need to register by this Friday--otherwise you will be placed on a waiting list and promised the next available slot. Higher slots will be available at a "slot suggested retail price," or SSRP
5) If dealers in one area of the country refuse to lower their prices, than those who have received monies will allocate 20% of their receipts to hire homeless people and Daewoo owners to picket outside said dealerships and kick up a fuss.
6) Everyone who is able to buy a Passat at a reasonable price within a few weeks will be required to give free rides to those who are still waiting--in the following manner: Those who paid Invoice--20 free rides, $250 over invoice--15 rides, $500 over invoice--10 rides, etc.
 
This new Passat program, (which has received some support from the German division of VW--they think American dealers are "way too greedy"), may appear to be complicated--but it really isn't! (But all sugestions are welcome...)
 
We can do this!! Let's work together for a new America--where people can buy cars at reasonable prices and have fun and smile more....

New Orleans Dealers by tcp3

Has anyone had any experience with any of the New Or leans WV dealers? Specifically, I'm interested in purchasing a 2001 Pas sat and I'm in looking at the two dealers in the New Or leans area. I haven't heard anything positive about Crescent City and haven't heard anything at all about Walker. Does anyone have any positive experiences with either dealer or with any in the area (Baton Rouge, Gulf port, etc.) ? I would really appreciate any feedback.

vwguild's is wrong about good deals in Florida. I have gotten quite good prices. When I close a deal I will share the details.
