That price of $395 for the cd changer is a great price. The lowest around here for the *in-dash cd* is $395. There is a dealer here in TX quoting $695 for the cd-changer!!!
#864 of 3318 DPR5 --- 2001.5 GLX (2-wheel drive) by dpr5 Mar 28, 2001 (6:42 pm)
Mona, Not too bad but... Do you really want the tinting? GLX comes with a rear shade. Possible savings $125. CD should be no more than $350. Possible savings $45. Inventory fee is bogus. Possible savings $71 Doc fee is bogus. Possible savings $50 License and filing fee may be appropriate. Check with State. Port and ? fee may be charged by VWOA. I don't know but would complain about it. Let them show you the invoice with their charges. I think you should be able to save another 281 to 398...   Your close... Dave

Thanks for helping people set themselves up for failure. Suggesting that a $50 Doc fee is "bogus" is truly fascinating.   You're not even in the zip-code.
#866 of 3318 Can I ask a Question about a Corrado? by betty333 Mar 28, 2001 (11:28 pm)
I know this isn't a message board for Corrados but, I really need help. I've been seriously thinking about buying a 90-91 Volkswagon Corrado. I can't find any consumer report listings on it. Nobody really knows much about it. I like the body style and everything I just don't want to get a piece of junk that's gonna break down every other day. My sister has a Jetty and her engine is almost gone and her warning buzzards always malfunction, also her alternator is messed up. I've been saving for a long time and I really need some advice. Also, Does anybody know why they stopped making them in 1994. Are they Junk??

Betty, I strongly recommend that you go to VWVortex.com. They have discussion boards dedicated to each of VW and Audi's car models, including the Corrado (over 12k posts!). Try here (not sure if this link will work, but try it). Corrado is mid way down. http://forums.vwvortex.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

Hey Dave, to keep it simple, you do not know what you are talking about.   gdrak, the dealership will return the $300 if you ask them to, don't let the salesperson tell you differently. Just be a pest, ask to talk to the owner etc. Again, don't let $300 drive a $27k mistake! Regardless of the transmission, with the extra weight of the V6 engine coupled with traction, the car will not get stuck! As I have mentioned in past postings, the Passat is my wifes car, I have a 2000 EB Expedition. More times than not, we took the VW in bad weather due to its superior "real world" handling in poor conditions. I wanted the 4motion in the Passat, but couldn't justify the added expense when looking at its very minimal (if any) added benefit. Good luck!

AFK, Why bogus? At least in NC, (I live in Chapel Hill), the license or tags is what goes to the State. It runs about $60. Some dealers tack on a $40 to $100 doc fee. Some do not. For instance when my wife bought her Civic last year, 2 dealers quoted invoice plus $300. Dealer A was invoice + $300 then $300 Dealer prep + Tax + Tags ($60) + $40 doc fees. Dealer B was invoice + $300 + Tax + Tags ($60). Who do you think we bought from?. I am not denying that it cost to process but by adding discretionary fees after the negotiation is bogus. Dealer A should have been up front and said I am charging Invoice + $640 cause that is what he was doing. Dave
#870 of 3318 My new car and Corrado by applestem Mar 29, 2001 (12:01 pm)
First on the Corrado - I dated someone who had an early 90's Corrado (can't remember exactly what model year) and it was a mess! He had a lot of problems with it and ended up trading it in after only a few months for a new Jetta. Couldn't tell you if his situation was unusual for the car, but based on that I wouldn't want to buy one.   Second, I will be picking up my new 01.5 GLX tonight. It's Fresco Green (what a great color!) with black leather. I got the car, in-dash CD and all dealer fees for $28,300 - only paid taxes and tags on top of that so I think I got a great deal! I can't wait to pick it up and drive it home tonight!
#871 of 3318 APPLESTEM - show breakdown of price please? by mdugal Mar 29, 2001 (3:12 pm)
can you show us the breakdown of your great deal? is this automatic too?   What's your driveout price with everything??   Thanks!   -Mona
#872 of 3318 Just Bought a New 2001.5 Passat Last Night by troark Mar 29, 2001 (4:50 pm)
Last Night - Bachman WV, Louisville, KY ---great experience, great price... no hassles....GLS I/ everything $28,600, MSRP was 30,075. Maybe no excellent deal, but I thought the sales staff and management were exceptional to deal with. Love that tiptronic! For anyone interested, Mark Crier was the salesman (told him I would bring him some business). 1 888 258-5203. It's worth a call for anyone who's shopping.
