Replying to: jpierce26 (Apr 23, 2006 1:02 pm) try Vwvortex.com The best site for Audi/VW. As for delivery dates I read that production would start week 22, meaning June and deliver in say Sept... A little later than we thought on the 4dr's, Rabbit included.   DL

Maybe just shoot for the Audi A3 if you want more doors, it seems to be getting the better reviews too. One report I read said it handled better than the GTI (?).

Replying to: jitteryjoe_246 (Apr 13, 2006 9:56 am) As with a manual transmission, is there a hand brake that you can pull to prevent the car from drifting when parked on a hill? Replies to this message: imontoya (Apr 30, 2006 11:12 pm)

Replying to: haulin79 (Apr 30, 2006 3:55 pm) All cars have such a brake and in this case it is indeed a hand-pull brake. It's called a parking brake. By drifting I assume you mean rolling?

#46 of 251 PRICING by imontoya May 22, 2006 (10:20 am)
Well, don't pay over MSRP.   Around here you can't get too many price breaks on these cars since they are so new.   CarsDirect.com and MSN.com's Autos section can give you an idea about pricing.
#47 of 251 Buying tips by jitteryjoe_246 May 22, 2006 (12:01 pm)
You might try going to edmunds.com and find the true market value of the car in your area. This should give you a good baseline for competitive prices. Also submit for dealer quotes from edmunds. Usually the first response you get that is not a canned message is worth following up. Internet sales departments usually are more interested in moving inventory so prices are cheaper and there is less haggling involved. Its how I got my GTI.   Also check out: http://www.carbuyingtips.com/car1.htm   The guy who wrote it seems pretty twisted, but he raises some good points of things to watch out for.   Lastly you can get a pricing guide from Consumer Reports that will break down invoice prices, any rebates, and options. For 14 bucks I found it worthwhile. Car salesmen hate it when you walk in and know their prices for everything.

Replying to: gold88x8 (May 23, 2006 8:15 am) Just remember a lot of dealerships pad their invoice with advertising fees and other stuff that is not on the true manufacturer to dealer invoice. Do your homework and check if there are any manufacturer to dealer rebates. These won't show up on the invoice...nor will the dealer holdback (dealerships get 4% of the car cost back after they sell the vehicle - helps the dealership cope with operating costs). Just make sure your good deal is indeed a good deal.

Isn't getting any sort of "invoice" price a good deal on a new on the market car? I cannot get below MSRP here in the Seattle area. So do those aforementioned sites list true invoice price? Now I am confused. And gold88, turn off the CAPS lock. Replies to this message: jitteryjoe_246 (May 23, 2006 12:31 pm) gold88x8 (May 23, 2006 7:10 pm) gold88x8 (Jun 09, 2006 8:15 am)
