#792 of 3257 market values by mney6 Mar 24, 2001 (12:45 pm)
Just ran manheim auction reports and average value is 17600 for v-6 and 18400 for v-8. Average miles are from 16000 - 24000 miles. The black-book is at 17800 with 18000 - 24000 miles. They are right on their numbers.I would still however shop around alittle.You may pick up an extra 300-500 dollars for your trade.

Could i get a much better deal? Thanks!!!! Sam

It really depends upon your definition of *much*.   If this is exactly the GLX that you have been looking for, if you have been treated well, and most important, if You feel comfortable...then that is the most one can ask.   Can you grind out another $50-$100? Maybe...but to what end?   My *internal cost*, what I would pay, on the changer with nuts, bolts, and screws is now $359.00; so $375 installed is nice...   Go enjoy your new Passat; no one here is going to write that check for you
#800 of 3257 Purchase of 2001.5 Passat by rfh2 Mar 24, 2001 (8:20 pm)
Hello! First time writer. After much running around and haggling with several dealerships in the NC area, I finally purchased a black on black GLX with tip and 6 cd changer. I must admit I wasn't too impressed with any of the dealers. The original salesman nearest my home was nice enough and gave me the test drive. However, I was torn between the Avalon and the Passat. When I decided to go with the Pas sat I went to see him armed with edmunds, consumer reports, etc. The salesman immediately grew condescending and told me how the publications, internet, etc was all wrong. He actually got pretty beligerant. So I left. Went to another dealer. Told me the best he could do was 29,911. Kept going. Another 28,800 but we would talk about the cd when I got there. Told him I could get the car for 28,500. He yelled he was not going to give a black on black away. So I went to my 28,500 guy and bought the car ad and all. Only problem is I think there may be some distortion in the windshield on the passenger side and the front passenger window does not go down all the way (about 1" left up towards back of door). I hope when I go to the local dealer for warranty service there aren't any problems. I feel my 28,500 was a good price. All I had left was tax and tags. Thanks for all the good reading.

All VW dealers, per their Dealer Agreement, will replace the windshield under warranty.   However; depending upon the dealership, when, might be the question. Most dealerships will not break your eggs if you buy at another store out of the area, but the world being what it is, others will. Bottom line...the Service Manager really is basically indifferent; his job is to make you a happy service customer. The bad vibes are generated from the Sales Dept., and most of their grievance will be with the Sales Rep. or Manager that let you leave.   To add a tangential observation...With all of the research that you did, why did you not try to contact the Dealership on line and negotiate with an individual that was on the same page as you?   As an Internet Sales Manager, I am always puzzled by this course of action. To do all of your *homework* and research and then walk into an Automobile Dealership only to deal with a *line* sales person that may have been there for a week or a month...well, I just do not understand. Why would one not close the circle on the same course that one started with?   I would really appreciate any feedback you might be inclined to provide. Thanking you, in advance..
