#163 of 251 Looking to buy '08 GTI by upstatedoc Oct 26, 2007 (9:38 am)
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 251 '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 251 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...

Replying to: upstatedoc (Nov 01, 2007 7:14 am) You should not have to pay over Invoice for this vehicle. Also, the Import Prep and Full Tank of Gas charge is bogus. If they're going to give you such grief I would skip them entirely, and go to another dealer. After telling them the poor service you've experienced they would be more than motivated to give you better servive and a better price.   Remember folks! When purchasing, it's price of car + plus destination (sometimes already worked in) + Tax + Plates. That's it. Stay away from other fees, and look over your contracts for them before you sign!!!
