#562 of 3318 Port Prep Fee by toddyhill2 Feb 11, 2001 (4:45 am)
I ordered a 2001.5 GLS one week ago... should arrive from Houston within the next two to four weeks. Paid $500 over dealer invoice (confirmed by Edmunds) plus $117 port fee. The salesman said it was a regional thing and all dealerships are charged this fee by VW. I don't know if that was true but based on the other posts I now assume so. All in all, got a 6% discount off MSRP. I'm happy... but will be happier when I'm driving it off the lot
#563 of 3318 Fiftyfive "secret "strategy by rjames27 Feb 11, 2001 (9:07 am)
Dear Fifty five, I am looking to purchase a new 2001.5 GAS wagon. The best I was able to negotiate was bout 700 over invoice on a 2001 model. So anything you could help me with to make a better deal on a 2001.5 would be greatly appreciated. Also I probably will be getting this as a lease for my company so any advice there would help also. Thanks
#564 of 3318 GLX 4motion wagons by montanabill1 Feb 11, 2001 (9:12 am)
Does anybody have good, reliable info on when the new 2001.5 4motion wagons will arrive at dealers? I have heard many different dates. Thanks. Oh, how about reviews of the GLX sedan for those new 2001.5 model owners.
#565 of 3318 Wagons... by ffxvw Feb 11, 2001 (10:09 am)
We have had no word on the wagons as yet, beyond the "couple of months after the sedans" we were told initially. By looking around in the incoming VWs for my area, it looks like the Jetta Wagons will actually get here before the Passat ones! Probably done on purpose to ensure selling those ones. It seems like they are kind of a risk to bring to the US market, and most of us are pretty leery about their impact.   Jason
#566 of 3318 Fiftyfive Fees by fritzenheimer Feb 11, 2001 (1:24 pm)
Thanks for the info re: the port fee($25) and floor plan fee ($92) for $117 total. I never heard of this but would explain the difference in what the sales person quoted me as his invoice and my calculations. I'm even more psyched since reworking my numbers brings me to a 3.6% over invoice sale price. Where did you find these extra fees? Online or dealership printout (which I never did see)?
#567 of 3318 Port Fees, etc by fiftyfive Feb 12, 2001 (5:04 am)
The only place I saw these fees in writing was on www.cars.com. I think if you design a car to order on-line they are shown near the end of the process. But if you add them on to the other invoice info it seems to add up to what the dealers consider to be invoice price.
#568 of 3318 2001 v 2001.5!?! by harpoman Feb 13, 2001 (12:07 pm)
Arghhh!!!!! This is killing me! I'm still not sure if I should wait for the .5's or get a great deal on the left over 2001's. I'm figuring it's going to be about a $2000 difference between the two. And to tell you the truth, one of the major things that makes me want to spend the extra $2000 is the new cup holders. Silly I know, but if you're spending this much on a new vehicle, might as well get everything you want, right? Does anyone know of any after market cup holders that would fit somewhere on the 2001's?
#569 of 3318 Offer for 2001 by sigor111 Feb 13, 2001 (1:28 pm)
Is VW still giving 1000$ to dealers for Passat's with manual? I've got offer for GLS 1.8T with manual, no options for 19900$+397$ dealer fee. How that sounds?
#570 of 3318 Indy area dealer Fritzenheimer by efolz Feb 13, 2001 (2:19 pm)
Fritzenheimer,   What dealer in the Indy area did you purchase from?
#571 of 3318 sigor111 by harpoman Feb 13, 2001 (3:50 pm)
The invoice price on a base GLS manual with no options is $19,519, add $525 for destination charge and that's $20,044. Sounds like they're holding back on some of that $1000.
