#823 of 3257 VW IN THE CAROLINAS by london_wilson Mar 26, 2001 (3:46 pm)
About a month ago a bought a passat from Pulliam Wray VW in Columbia, SC. I shopped the dealers in Charlotte and was very disappointed. The sales manager's name there is Brian Scully and you can email him at:   bscullypulliamwray.com.   I love my car and it was the best experience I have ever had buying one. Much better than the domestic dealers I had purchased from before.

Mona, I think you are not being treated very well. RFH2 just bought the car you described for 28,500 plus tax and tags. Let the dealers know that they are going to have compete for your business between themselves and the internet. Always work up from invoice. Any number they give you above invoice should be all inclusive except for tax and tags. They all have to pay VWOA the same and all have to pay the same % of the agreed to price to the State. EVERYTHING ELSE is at the dealer's discretion and negotiable.   Dave
#825 of 3257 RFH2 NC Dealership by dpr5 Mar 26, 2001 (4:25 pm)
RFH2, If you are following this forum, I live in the NC triangle area, (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) and am very interested in the name of the dealer you did business with. Thanks... Dave

I bought a car similar to the one you are looking for except that it was a 5 speed for $27,281. I think the automatic is only about $1000 more. Let me know if this helps.
#827 of 3257 Extended Warranty by jivaro Mar 26, 2001 (8:39 pm)
Regarding the extended warranty, I truly believe in it. I had a 1989 Jetta and purchased the Masterguard 4 year / 50,000 warrantly and got back every penny. At 43,000 miles I needed CV Joints as well as a totally new transmission. Prior to that I had some A/C problems. Everything was covered and I did not have to pay a penny. Just the thought that I could go to bed at night and not worry about ANYTHING that could go wrong with the car and have to pay to have it repaired was worth the price. I could travel anywhere in the country and not worry about a thing.... if I break down, just tow me to a VW dealer and let them fix it, no questions asked. To me, that comfort is worth the money. With todays new electronics all over the vehicle, I feel even more of a necessity to have the extended warranty. When I buy my new Passat in the next several weeks, I will purchase the 7 year / 100,000 warranty, which might increase my monthly payment by a few dollars, but I will have total peace of mind for the next 100,000 miles. Just my thoughts.
#828 of 3257 extended warranties by im_brentwood Mar 26, 2001 (8:44 pm)
vwguild is right.   There are very few aftermarket warranties that I think are worth even considering (CNA is one of the very few).   As a rule, the ones backed by the manufacturer are, as a general rule, the only way to go.   Bill
#829 of 3257 Mona in Houston by ducksquat Mar 26, 2001 (9:15 pm)
Hi,   I'm a fellow Houstonian. My wife and I just purchased our Passat GLX 2001.5 tonight with the additions of Tinted Windows, Front Cover (bra), 6 CD Disk Changer and the Paint Sealant with drive out price (TTL) of $31,657. We were told the same thing sith the Consumer Service and Documentary Fee and that they were non-negotiable (all dealers around here had that). We went to 3 different places and Demontrond gave us the best deal which was an internet price ($500 above invoice). It was $30,657 without the add-ons. I feel good about this price because it's also the Reflex Silver which is the one hardest to negotiate pricing due to popularity and difficulty keeping it in stock. I am also happy because I paid less that what I expected based on edmund's "true market value" pricing deal. If I have any remorse, it's from the add-ons but I'm okay with it because my wife feels better about having them. I'd use these numbers in negotiating. Feel free to email for further questions! =) I can even refer you to the guy we spoke to if it helps!
#830 of 3257 $500 over invoice by cliffyb Mar 26, 2001 (9:32 pm)
Sounds like $500 over invoice is becoming pretty easily attainable. The fee thing confuses me though. Is that $500 over invoice plus destination plus fees plus TTL? The car I want is the base car with manual, luxury, and monsoon. Will they do $500 over on a lower buck car?
#831 of 3257 by 20015 Mar 26, 2001 (9:51 pm)
Had a test drive today with the 4Cyl Passat auto. The response was good and the brakes were good... from 80Mph to 0, just took about 20 metres to stop... but though it skided a bit at the end ?? it burned the tyres though.... What i liked about this car was the way it handled... and the steering wheel response... but found it to bank a bit at sharp turns... But it drove solidly... Also got to know that the new engine was actually 180HP and it was being advertised at 170Hp just so as not to annoy Audi (as A4 is 170Hp) ... So, if this is correct, the difference between 4Cyl and 6Cyl is only 10 Hp !!!! This sounds good to go for the 4Cyl if the difference is only 10Hp and save $2500 to $3000. But i didnt like the audio system in Passat, normal and monsoon. The monsoon is more powerful (Bose designed, 300W).. But it doesnt have much clarity. But i would say, check it out with the cd player and then see how it sounds.   I have a couple of questions regarding Passat..   1. I keep reading about the extra charges / fees to be paid over the invoice. What r these extra fees and how much does each of them cost ???   2. How good is the warranty coverage??? Has any one had experiences with this ??? and it would be nice to share ur experience...

I am also looking for a GLX 5 speed with an in-dash CD. 27,281 + tax and tags would be just be fine. Are you in NC? If so, where did you obtain you car? Thanks Dave
