#876 of 3318 Price Breakdown for Mona by applestem Mar 30, 2001 (5:30 am)
$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!
#877 of 3318 GLX Pricing Help by bullseye10 Mar 30, 2001 (6:07 am)
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
#880 of 3318 miles on car by yield Mar 30, 2001 (6:49 am)
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?

#882 of 3318 Miles on car... by ffxvw Mar 30, 2001 (7:54 am)
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
#883 of 3318 Need help in Pittsburgh Area by pgh_carshopper Mar 30, 2001 (7:58 am)
Has anyone had good experiences with dealerships in the Pittsburgh area? I test drove a 2001 Passat GLS at the Monroeville dealer. They made me feel like I was taking up their time by wanting to take a test drive. The salesman made no effort other than to ask how much I wanted my payments to be. He didn't explain the options, various trim levels, colors, etc... really liked the car and I am serious about buying or leasing a new Pas sat. I would like to go to a dealership that knows how to treat people.
#884 of 3318 Bullseye by its_kristy Mar 30, 2001 (9:24 am)
That price of $27,187 is the invoice price of the *Tip*, so the addition amount tacked on is their markup. The invoice price on the manual tranny is $26,664. Here is a link to ScottVW. that has MSRP and invoice pricing. http://www.scottvw.com/newcars/passat/pricing.html
#885 of 3318 Bullseye by its_kristy Mar 30, 2001 (10:24 am)
I need to correct my previous posts. The $27,187 is the invoice price of the Tip, excluding destination of $550. So invoice on the tip is 27,737. Sorry about that.
