#62 of 3318 glxwagon4mo by jbratter Jul 02, 2000 (5:01 am)
Thanks! I got the silver with black leather. I know the black leather can be hot and harder to keep clean, but the gray leather looked a little cheap, plus the dash is then a 2 tone gray and black which didn't do much for me. I just got my audio - an alpine deck with polk speakers in the doors (as well as new tweeters) and an amp and subwoofer for the trunk. It gets installed tomorrow. I'll let you know how it sounds. It cost about $1,100 all together. Well worth a little more vs the monsoon crap. All the monsoon does is give you an amp and speakers that can handle the amp, not necessisarily great speakers. Thanks for asking! Joel

Seems to be a problem with this post. Sorry if its redundant. I got the silver with black leather. I know the black leather can be hotter and harder to keep clean, but the gray was a little cheesy looking, and the 2 tone dash didn't do anything for me. I like the black on black dash. Update - I just had my new stereo put in, and the jerk ended up scraping the right rear quarter panel. A couple of scratches and the paint has come off - now I have to spend a couple of hundrd to fix it. I'm hoping the installer will foot the bill...
#64 of 3318 Passat Orders by ffxvw Jul 04, 2000 (3:12 pm)
The information I have suggests that ordering will be available after the 6th. VWOA suspended the order process for some reason, and we had to be content with allocations only. Jason

Correct! VWs will be able to be ordered, but not until towards the end of July from what I hear. The 2001s are already in production. Also, to clarify an earlier post I made. Passats can be bought at a discount in St Louis.. but it's very dependnt on the specific car. I.E. Not on a 4motion. Also, I've seen a couple posts relating to the lack of Base cars... Base (Non Luxury Package) Passats can be very hard for us to move. And while people want them, for every base car we can sell, we can sell 5 or 6 Luxury Package cars.. and as tight as our allocation to sale ratio is on them... We will only order them as a general rule. Bill
#66 of 3318 Indigo Passat by footprints Jul 07, 2000 (3:08 pm)
Though late in responding. Thank you stire for the information on the available (yet probably no longer available) Indigo Blue, leather, luxury package with a 5 spd/Passat in MN. I have decided to order a 2001 without the Monsoon (amplifiers/speakers), which is a savings of $250/$300. On 7/3 I received a call from a salesperson that they have been taking orders for the 2001 and that they should becoming in by late July.   Ian was the only salesperson to have provided me info. on the 2001 about a month ago. He informed me that he could state it into the purchase order that I would not be held to the contract if the increase of the 2001 Passat exceeds 2% (He was about to say 3% but, knew not too from my expression not too). Should I make certain that the contract agreement expressed by the Ian/salesperson be worded a certain way? After researching the amount of the 2000 Passats and comparing it to the 1999 it was a 1.5% increase. I wonder if I should present this as a valid point as to the % remaining the same this year, if not lower since there are no changes? Is there any information on what a reasonable % increase should be for a 2001 Passat?
#67 of 3318 My silver dream car by searight1 Jul 10, 2000 (11:08 pm)
On July 1st I bought a silver Passat GLS automatic with grey cloth interior. On Monday I got a call from the dealer saying that I was sold someone's car. Now the dealer is saying that the only silver cars available in MN have black leather. I am ready to tell the dealer to forget it, but I don't know what my chances of getting one with the grey cloth. I also want a moonroof and heated seats. I was told (by the dealer) that the 2001s are not going to be ready for 4 months. What's the story. Should I look around or what?
#68 of 3318 What?!?! by ffxvw Jul 11, 2000 (4:48 pm)
I don't understand. Someone else had already purchased and had the car titled in their name? If so, it is a horrible situation you're in. The dealership should go to whatever lengths neccesary to correct the situation, up to and including getting you a brand new 2001 for the same price. If not, if the car was never titled to the other person, tell them to get lost, and keep your car. Until a title is transferred, any agreements are only an ethical concern, not a legal one. Jason
#69 of 3318 2001 PASSAT IN JULY??? by manchuza Jul 12, 2000 (7:57 pm)
I don't know where this rumor is coming from, but I have read that the new Passat will be shown at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2001: check out this link for the photo and information. http://www.scottvw.com/news/news.html#may05 FWIW, I did buy my new 2000 Passat from O'Steen VW in Jacksonville, FL (Phil Thomas, Sales Manager). They gave me outstanding service, a great deal, and CUSTOMIZED MY CAR FOR ME, including leather seats--I picked the color from samples. Tell Phil David in San Juan sent you!
#70 of 3318 2001 Passat ?? by footprints Jul 13, 2000 (9:43 pm)
I am planning to place an order for a 2001 Passat tomorrow 7/14 and am concerned about the above comment. There are two dealer contacting me back stating that they are & have been taking orders for the 2001. I am not certain what the above link was suppose to indicate about the Passat 2001 but, the only thing indicated from VW was the promotion for the new Beetle colors and turpo option? Are there any dealers or persons who may now if I should be more wary about going to a dealer tomorrow?? Concerned buyer would like to know!!
