Replying to: micweb (Jan 14, 2009 2:04 pm) Hey thanks for checking   But 2003 ...I thought we were talking about 2006+ (which, I continue to point out to edmunds, really should be 2005.5+ ) Jettas here.   So that was probably right around $400, before taxes and fees were added on. My dealer used to have the package (with their extras) at $500, but always had a $50 coupon. They bumped up to $550, so $500 with the readily available coupon. (I happen to have a better coupon for 20% off).   In addition, to what you listed and a tire rotation, they include rebalance wheels, fuel filter, and cleaning fuel injectors in the package.

#1420 of 1441 40K mi maintenance cost by jeffyscott Jan 17, 2009 (8:26 am)
I got the "ala-carte" pricing from my dealer and it would be about $380 (plus tax and fees) for all the maintenance items in the VW 40K mi/48 month list, except for scanning the on board computer. Checking the computer would add $99. All the other "check" items are no charge.   I'm thinking since the end of the full warranty period is near, I'll have them do the scan, just in case that would identify a warranty repair that is needed. With that added in, I am thinking I may as well take their package deal since it will only be another $70 (actually $56 with my 20% off).
#1421 of 1441 What should I do?? by Phaetonboi Feb 26, 2009 (8:38 pm)
I have this constant dilemma, its not buyers remorse, I have been in my Audi A3 for 9 months, so its too late for that. I MISS my VW's! And I feel that I am paying for the name in the high lease rate ie. $405.00/mo   Dealer next to my house has a CPO 2006 Grey GLI..awesome! Everything I wanted, some things in the GLI that SHOULD have been in the A3. Alas, my dilemma is do I suck it up and keep the A3 for another two years when the lease is up, or do I spring for the $15,800 GLI that has 37,000 miles on it, and roll in the negative equity? Do you think my new payment could be lower than what I am currently paying?    Any suggestions would be great.   thanks!

Replying to: Phaetonboi (Feb 26, 2009 8:38 pm) I would think *stay* with the A3 since you don't want to end up "paying" to leave your current automobile.   But...as you know, your value at the end of your lease is a big zero (assuming you don't have to dish out money for tires,dents, etc).   But...if you get a 20k loan (playing pretend) for 5 years at 6% that equals $387 (less than your lease)...AND you'd have some equity left after paying it off.   I think most dealers will not carry a large negative equity so it all depends on what you owe to get out of your current vehicle.   You purchased (leased) the A3 knowing that there are other CPO'd vehicles out there...so I'd make sure that I really want to go through the process; plus you'd want to make sure you'd keep the GLI...it would be difficult to swap out again with a negative equity (need the GAP Ins too).
#1423 of 1441 Stay With The A3 by sandman46 Feb 27, 2009 (7:16 am)
Though tempting to swap out for the Jetta, it's just not worth the negative equity on a loan for 3 year old car...especially now unless $ is not an issue. Keep what you've got and in two more years, then look for a certified Jetta. Ask yourself...do you "need" the Jetta...or do you just "want" it? Having a similar issue on a '07 Volvo S40. A co-worker is turning in her black S40 in about 6 months and I really want that car. But my '06 Civic has low mileage, under 20k still, and was bought for cash. Do I really want to take a car which will have about 40k miles on it or do I keep my cheap to keep flawless Civic? I "want" it...but I don't "need" it. I do feel your pain though...it's a really cool looking black S40!   The Sandman
#1424 of 1441 thanks for the input! by Phaetonboi Feb 27, 2009 (7:37 am)
Thanks so much for advice. I will let you know, heading to carmax to get an idea what they would pay for it just as a starting point. Will keep posted on what happens. Again i appreciate the reality check:)

Replying to: Phaetonboi (Feb 26, 2009 8:38 pm) Surely you jest in the current economy? Don't rock your FICO score boat. Did you get the A3 new or used? If new, keep it for sure, you now JUST how it has been maintained and driven. Beside, generally Audis are more prestigious than VW's.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Jan 15, 2009 7:34 am) I hand a Lincoln before this VW; the Lincoln was cheaper to maintain/service!! Go figure. Replies to this message: homerkc (Apr 18, 2009 5:01 pm) popadopolis (Apr 19, 2009 3:22 am)

Replying to: furley (Mar 09, 2009 8:44 am) I just hit the 40K service interval on my 2007 Jetta; the dealer proposed $435 for the entire service EXCEPT brake fluid change. That's basically $435 for new plugs, air filter, cabin filter, and a look-over. SO, I had them change the oil and I changed the plugs and filters. Parts totaled $85 w/tax, and the work was done in less than an hour (including the web search for photos as to where the connection points are found in removing engine cover.) That's for Iridium plugs and filters that come from the same Mexican factory as those VW branded (Mann uses different colored paper and rubber - they are easy to recognize.) I recommend that anyone can do it yourself. Replies to this message: popadopolis (Apr 19, 2009 3:22 am)
