#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?

$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..
#75 of 3318 VW in NJ by ricknj2 Jul 16, 2000 (3:57 am)
I am looking to buy a Passat GLX either 2000 or 2001. I live in the Princeton NJ area. Can anyone offer any reasonable dealers in this area where I can get a good deal??
#76 of 3318 Help -- Passat GLX -- Auto by ksprice Jul 19, 2000 (12:08 am)
I am trying to get my hands on an Indigo Blue 2000 Passat GLX with the tiptronic transmission + a CD changer and a beige leather interior. A dealer here in So Cal is quoting me $28,500 which I figure is about $1,300 over invoice. This price came via the internet. I would like to pay about $500 over invoice for the car. After all, I read all these wonderful stories on this site about paying such great prices. Does anyone have any leads on dealers in CA or Internet sites who are cutting better breaks on this car?
#77 of 3318 How to bargain a price? by askw Jul 19, 2000 (8:23 pm)
If someone is willing to help me out for my purchase, I am very grateful. I live in Miami area, and I try to find a VW Passat GLS with Auto. The best quote is for $22,000 so far, and I called another dealer stating that my target price is $20,700. Seems that we can bargain based on this price. I dont know how much is reasonable, and how to argue "outdoor" price for this car? anyone has a good experience with a good dealer here? Thanks. BTW, now it is July 19, so should I wait for a little longer for 2001 model?
