#162 of 248 2007 GTI vs 2008 GTI by icyblue Sep 29, 2007 (2:57 pm)
Hi guys, I am pretty new to this website and I am looking to buy a white 4dr 2008GTI within next 2 weeks. I live in Pittsburgh and one dealership has only a black and red 2008 GTI in stock, another dealership has a white 4dr GTI but it's the 2007 model. Are there any differences between the 2007 and 2008 GTI models? And what have people been paying for the 2008 4dr automatic GTI?   Because I might turn to the 2008 accord instead if the dealerships cannot satisfy my needs.   Thanks, icyblue

Just sent out internet request for '08 GTI silver w/ sunroof to 3 dealers. My initial bid is 22,500 before taxes. Has anyone gotten theirs for anywhere near this price?
#164 of 248 '08 GTI by upstatedoc Nov 01, 2007 (7:14 am)
Just placed an order for '08 GTI 2-door man. silver w/ sunroof, no other extras. They wanted $500 over invoice which they quoted at 22,925 = 23425. Both edmunds and KBB have the invoice 22,716. Dealer says the extra is for import prep and full tank of gas. Does this sound right? Replies to this message: imontoya (Nov 01, 2007 2:14 pm) thethief914 (Dec 13, 2007 12:43 pm)

Replying to: upstatedoc (Nov 01, 2007 7:14 am) 22,716 + 500 = 23,216, so go for 23,000 and call it good. Double check your research though. The full tank of gas charge is BS, since they likely use middle grade anyway. I would use the Internet to get quotes from a couple of other local dealerships, your dealership sounds like one of those cheapskate places that would be a pain to deal with down the road.

Replying to: cocoseng (Nov 20, 2007 5:00 pm) That's several hundred dollars under invoice. I was only able to get $500 over invoice on my deal. Was this a car on the lot? I had to order mine. Replies to this message: cocoseng (Nov 21, 2007 9:05 am)

Replying to: upstatedoc (Nov 21, 2007 8:34 am) It was on the lot... I didn't really want the iPod Adapter but for the deal they offered me, figured I'd take it.   So far I am absolutely loving my car. It replaced my 99 Jetta, so there is a major difference between the two, but was just joking to my wife that even my boring commute to work feels like I am driving a different route in the GTI.
#169 of 248 Add on Costs by rmorin2 Dec 11, 2007 (6:35 pm)
My dealer wants to add several things to the invoice:   Advertising fee Floor interest Port charge   Are these legit? They come to around $500. I am suspicious that this is just more profit. Please clarify. Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Dec 12, 2007 6:25 am) kyfdx (Dec 12, 2007 8:39 am)

Replying to: rmorin2 (Dec 11, 2007 6:35 pm) The port charge sounds an awful lot like my "import fee" which was $200. Advertising and floor interest? Never heard of them.

Replying to: rmorin2 (Dec 11, 2007 6:35 pm) Did you make an offer of $XXX over invoice?   That is a good way to determine what price you want to pay, but not a great way to make an offer.. As you can see, invoice can be whatever the dealer wants it to be...   Always make offers in dollar amounts...
