hello, i leased a 2001 .5 passat gls (auto, monsoon,luxury) with zero down for 442.00/mo. for 48/mo and 15k/yr. was that a good deal? i have to know. |

| Don't know if that is a good deal or not, but isn't that something you should have found out *before* you leased it? Try doing a search on this and other forums. Many people have asked the same thing on this site. | |

if u r willing to pay 4-5K downpayment, then u could have bought the car for about $550/month ! May be u could still do it ? try out... and at the end of the day, u could own it and after 4 years, could sell it for atleast $15K-$17K .... but, thats my 2 cents... |

$28,300 (GLX, with Tip, In Dash CD and all fees, sorry I can't break this down more, but I just worked on a bottomline number rather than negotiating all pieces separately). ~ $944 (Tax, Tags) Driveout Price - $29244 I did my negotiating over the phone, there's 5 dealerships within about 15-20 miles of my home (Wash. DC area) and a total of 20 in the DC Metro area. So I called all of them with my top two color choices. Found three dealers with potential cars (one was a GLX 4Motion demo with 700 miles on it). Couldn't get the dealer with the demo to drop below invoice but worked with the dealer with my second color choice car down to the above price (but without including fees). I then called the dealership with my top color choice and asked him to meet the price and include fees. I was able to offer that I would pay for the car in full that day which I'm sure was a help. When I got to the dealership I was worried that they'd back down from our phone agreement, but they were great - very smooth and painless actually! I may have been able to drop the price a little bit more but I was happy with the price I paid, I know they made a little bit of money and bottom line is I got a car I love! |

| I am confused about invoice on the 2001.5 GLX with Tip. I was quoted invoice of $28262, which is the standard $27187 plus $1075 for the Tip automoatic. Is this correct? Is Tip considered an option and the price tacked onto invoice? I was quoted a sales price of $29500 (Silverstone Grey/Black Leather). Seems I can do better... | |

was that deal you got with automatic?? I guess my deal is somewhat comparable then. I'm getting $30,900 for the same car you have, but just brand new. Sounds fair you think? |

Actually, it was an automatic. I know this because Jodi bought it from my dealership! LOL What a small world... Jason |
|
| What happens when you negotiate for a car and when it arrives it has miles on it - lets say 300. Are you justified in asking for a discount for each mile on the car? What is a good discount? | |

If you mean that the dealership went to get it for you, then no, you don't. That's part of selecting a car that has to be obtained from a distant location. However, your dealer should have informed you that they might have to go out of your area for the car. Jason |
