#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?

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.

#575 of 3318 Going with 2001 by harpoman Feb 14, 2001 (5:12 pm)
I went down to the dealer today and checked both the 2001 an 2001.5 out. It came down to $$ and cents and a deal I couldn't refuse. For a 2001 GLS, leather, luxury, and monsoon - $22,150! Almost $1000 under invoice, how could I pass that up? Plus the fact I'd have to wait for the right 2001.5 and my wife actually liked the 2001's styling better. Now, to find a decent cup holder to put in it............

#577 of 3318 Port prep reserve adver by chewyman Feb 14, 2001 (6:54 pm)
Any one see these charges on invoices in the Northeast(NE). If you look at a Passat invoice in the NE you see $25 Port Prep, $125 Regional Advertising Fee, and $93 Floor Plan Reserve. It is added to the invoice price. I saw it on the invoice. Wowww $242 extra to invoice. Is this true cost to the dealer? I can live with the $25 if they need it and do it. Are we stuck with this advertising fee and do they get this on every car they sell? I haven't seen one ad for the new Passat. The floor plan reserve sounds as though they are amortizing the cost of floorplan financing to all vehicles. If you order a car they should not need to pay it since they come in and go out before they need to incur the cost on an ordered unit. If the practice is to amortize it to all units then everyone pays a piece. I thought I was giving a fair profit at $5-600 over invoice. With these surprise charges the car costs me more than I planned. Not a lot but troubling. Also I don't hear anyone paying these charges on 2001 end of year units. What gives?
