Bay Area CA Passat pricing by jherm

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..

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??

Help -- Passat GLX -- Auto by ksprice

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?

How to bargain a price? by askw

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?

I am firmly convinced that this is the right car for me. Does anyone know what is the going/fair above-invoice rate in the Dallas/Fort Worth area? Any particular dealer recommendations will be very helpful. I am also willing to consider buying from elsewhere, if it will result in a substantial discount.

I question Edmunds pricing by spudma

I have been shopping for a GLX 4 motion wagon. Recently I noticed the 2000 4 motion disappeared off the price list when the 2001 prices came on-line. However, the other 2000 models remain. In addition, I notice for model year 2000 there is no dealer holdback listed but for 2001 there is a 2% holdback. Either this is incorrect or in theory you should be able to purchase a 2001 for less than a 2000 (unless there are end of the year factory to dealer incentives which are not being posted).

2000 discounts? by kbwill

Hello, all. I'm looking to buy a 2000 Passat GLS V6 w/Automatic. The lowest price I've been quoted here in central IL is 4.5% over invoice. However, I've already seen quite a few 2001's on the lots. Does anyone have any information about discounts on the previous model year? Can I expect to pay less than invoice for a car that has been sitting on the lot for a year already? I found the perfect car in St. Louis last weekend (a 2000 dealer demo model w/ 3400 miles) but the dealer wouldn't budge from $28k.

$28 K for a '00 GLS V6 with 3400 mi is a little hard to swallow. If you have the time to wait, the "left over" '00 models will definitely have room to bargain. The other option would be to extend your search to other regions around you to see if some other dealership would be willing to give you a better offer. Also try one of the many internet car buying services -- at least you will get some additional idea as to what other dealerships are asking.
