#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!!
#71 of 3318 2000 Passat GLS V6 Pricing by hcamp Jul 14, 2000 (10:40 pm)
Want to buy base GLS V6 w/5 speed. Edmunds TMV is $22,544 + destination charge of $525. Best asking price in San Antonio for same is $27,395. Is this a fair price?
#72 of 3318 hcamp by glxwagon4mo Jul 15, 2000 (3:37 am)
$27,395 for a GLS V6 sedan Manual Trans without any options ?!?! Are you sure they were not quoting you the price for another vehicle ?? MSRP on the base GLS V6 5speed MT is only $23,800 and even with leather and lux packages that still puts you well under what was quoted ! I have not read anyone paying above MRSP for a Passat -- last time I checked (Feb and March of this year), San Antonio dealers were not asking MSRP for even the 4Motions!! BTW, who gave you that quote -- Rod East? Ancira? I would suggest checking with Ancira and ask for John Weil -- had work on a deal with him earlier this year for a GLX 4Motion Wagon. Was ready to go out to S.A. as he gave me an excellent deal -- but a regional dealer ended up finding the car I wanted for a comparable price. However, John was certainly very professional and there was no hard pressure tactics or hidden costs. Good Luck in your search -- with the '01 models coming out soon, you should certainly be able to get a deal on '00 models, especially if the car is on the dealer's lot! George
#73 of 3318 I think I'm ready to pull the trigger by kroker Jul 15, 2000 (3:58 pm)
after driving an Acura Integra GS for 8 yrs, and needing something a little bit bigger, I test drove the Acura TL, VW Passat and, Nissan Maxima. The Passat is definately what I'm looking for. The Maxima's rear end was stange looking, but it was a bullet w/ a stick, the TL was a lot of car but looked too much like an Accord and was $2000 more than a loaded GLX. I was quoted $26,516 for a 2000 GLX yesterday. I thought this was a pretty aggressive price. Any comments before I pull the trigger???
#74 of 3318 Bay Area CA Passat pricing by jherm Jul 15, 2000 (11:09 pm)
Folks, I bought a V6 GLS with luxury + leather for invoice + 3% (or ~ $750) from Carlsen in Palo Alto. Very cool people, gave me a quote over the phone, showed me the invoice (which checked out with Edmunds and elsewhere on the web). They were quick, pleasant, didn't insult my intelligence-a painless experience. Ron Price was higher by about $350. Boardwalk in Redwood City was unwilling to give me a phone quote and the person I spoke with gave me as much runaround as I was willing to deal with-which was about 30 seconds (click). Bottom line, in the Bay Area give Carlsen a shot at your business-they did right by me..
