Go to VW.COM, from here you can *Locate A Dealer*. Just put in your zip code and how many miles you are willing to travel, and you will get a list of Dealers within that Perimeter...Find the one with an Internet Sales Manager and you will find your New Passat in a hassle free environment...

maddog16-what dealers in Houston did you talk to you and, more importantly, which one offered the $700 over invoice price? My father is looking at a Passat (My wife already has a 99 wagon).

I test drove the passat at Royal, and they seemed nice. Didn't talk price, b/c I can't afford it yet. What about O'Steen in Jacksonville? Also, which dealership do you think would be the most flexible on price in Central FL?
#628 of 3318 2002 Model? by chippervw Feb 21, 2001 (10:43 am)
Does anyone have an opinion on this? Will the 2001.5 models be marked down when the 2002 models start showing up. Just b/c they are still 2001 MY? Thanks for any opinions/advice!
#629 of 3318 TMV for new cars by carguy47 Feb 21, 2001 (10:57 am)
I was on edmunds.com and noticed they have the true market value for new cars now, with options...I think you can get an idea of what stuff is going for from that....plus I think it's updated ever week. I love the new Passat!

The facelifted Passat is the 2002 for all intents & purposes. The true 2002 will be the Passat Plus. The only change on the 2001.5 will be the VIN code change...   The D1 to launch in the fall at the Frankfurt show and in Detroit will be another, but it will also be a different class of vehicle...

I got the impression that Royal knew their stuff the best, I did like dealing with them. I just wish they had a Silver GLX Manual.. grrr... It was a real pain for me to have to run down to Tampa to get it. Although it sure would be worse if I had to go now! (I live down in Bay Hill and I can smell the smoke at night... ugh).   Generally, an out-of-town dealer will quote you a lower price simply because they want to steal the deal. It's like when I worked at Lexus over in Winter Park. Lexus of Melbourne (A small dealer with a small market with too much allocation) would quote insane prices to our customers. So I tested them. I grabbed my cell phone, said I lived in Orlando and wanted an IS300, they gave me a dirt-cheap price. I then had another guy at work call them from his cell phone, claiming to live in Palm Bay and the price he was quoted was $1,750 higher, or reflective of market on the cars at the time. See where I'm going with this?   So, you may want to call a few dealers out of town (I have no knowledge of the guys up in Jax) but I'd bounce the number off of Royal. If you found a salesperson you like, it's easier to buy the car in Winter Park than in Jacksonville I think. As a rule we dont like customers in our area buying cars from outside the area. Get your prices, then call your salesperson and say something like this: "Look, I want to buy the car in orlando, I live in Orlando, but the guys in Key Largo (or wherever) Quoted me $750 over invoice, if you match it we have a deal"   Generally, they'll match it. It comes down to our egos, we don't like seeing you come in for an oil change with an Orange or Seminole county plate wrapped in a Tampa dealer's plate frame   Bill
#632 of 3318 Chicago 2001.5 GLS ??!! by joeboy2 Feb 21, 2001 (1:48 pm)
I've been reading some of the posts and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with purchasing the 2001.5 LS's in the Chicagoland area. I'm just starting to talk to dealers and the best that I've gotten is 500 under MSRP.       Are there any dealers that people in Chicano can recommend? Also, with the 2001.5 is there much of a power difference between the 4 and 6 cylinder?   Here's my wish list: Silver stone prey Metallic Leather Package Luxury Package Monsoon Sound   My best has been 25,100. Plus tax & title. Is 23,600 out of the question?
