Replying to: thejordans502 (Jul 22, 2004 8:34 am) In Southern California, I was quoted the following deals: $1500 below invoice and $5100 off MSRP. Both of these were on cash deals or deals not financed with special VW financing rates. The best deal depends on which model you are looking at. The base model Touareg at $1500 off invoice would be $31467. Replies to this message: jiii267 (Aug 02, 2004 9:34 am) loum (Aug 02, 2004 2:33 pm)

Replying to: jiii267 (Aug 02, 2004 9:34 am) Not a great deal at all! Lets assume that you are getting this car at invoice of $33,665. The interest rate you will be paying over 42 months is about 3.75% when you should be looking at an interest rate close to 1.75%.
#77 of 285 Shopping experience by pablo_l Aug 18, 2004 (5:41 pm)
We do own a '99 ML320 that is in very good condition, and we're among the fortunate people that have had a totally trouble-free experience with the MB. Nevertheless, since the 50k mile service bill was to be about $2,000, my wife and I decided that maybe the time was ripe to put the money into something else. Especially since we liked the Touareg. In fact, even though it would be my wife's car, I like the Touareg a *lot*, and wanted one. So we went to a dealer to test drive one, and willing to make up our minds very quickly. We loved the interior of the car, liked the exterior, and were thrilled by the solid way it drove (we wanted a loaded V6). After that, though, it all went down the drain shopping experience wise. despite the fact I told the sales guy that I had to do some Internet research on invoice price and such, they had us endure en embarrassingly cheapish pitch, and they felt compelled to unnecessarily give us an initial offer (MSRP! They had tried to actually mark up the car, claiming that the great tests in magazines justified that) and a leasing offer that upon getting home I saw was terrible.   VW has to get their act together if they intend to even remotely compete against the likes of Mercedes or BMW in shopping experience. You do not push a Touareg like you push a used Golf. You are not selling to people whose overriding concern is "how good" the monthly payment looks. It insulted our intelligence, wasted our time, and in the end confirmed my wife's snobbish suspicion that VW as a brand represents a step down from her current ownership experience.   Alas, the Touareg was not to be, and thus does not figure in our plans. It is a wonderful car. But seems to be sold in the entirely wrong dealership by salespeople unqualified in the art of selling a more upscale car.

Replying to: pablo_l (Aug 18, 2004 5:41 pm) Your experience is similar to mine. We have a variety of VW dealers in Denver, all with the same mentality to varying degrees. I ended up buying my Touareg from one of the most tacky dealers for three reasons. He had exactly the car I wanted, he was closest to my house, and I had a backup car at another dealer farther away that was almost as well equipped, on which I had a firm offer at invoice plus $350 (this was before the rebate).   I just stuck to my guns and got the invoice deal from the close dealer on the last day of the month. Plan on 4 to 6 hours of nose hair pulling, double teaming, triple teaming, F&I, etc before you drive home. I knew for a fact that the car I wanted had been on his lot for at least 4 months. It's too bad there had to be so much chicken dung spread around. I dont see why we couldnt have come to a deal in about 10 minutes, wrapped up the paperwork and F&I in another 30 minutes and out the door. They just dont realize there are a lot of people out there that are operating businesses that are at least as big as theirs and wouldnt dream of putting their customer through all that crap.   Oh, and by the way, when you take it in for the inevitable issues, they will treat you like you are the first one with the problem, they've never heard of it, or you're crazy. Things change when you expose them to a list of Technical Service Bulletins for the car, which of course they're familiar with. It's amazing the games they try.   Why did I buy the car? I love it. There is nothing else like it. I knew I was getting a first year car and so far, the pain has been worth the gain.
#79 of 285 From the other side by mmee1 Aug 21, 2004 (11:51 am)
I just want people to know, it's not all like this. I received a similar, though not as bad, experience from the dealer closest to my home. So I left. I drove 30 minutes away to the next dealer and had, and continue to have, the best possible experience.   They had the car I wanted. I told them a price that was reasonable but not the lowest I've scene here. They said "no problem, we can do it for that". And that was it. Deal done.   Service has been incredible. Just got back from my 10,000 mile service. When I arrived, they offered a loaner. When I said I could wait, they put a rush on the work. They said it would take three hours and in 2 hours and 59 minutes they pulled up with my Touareg, washed. I waited in their leather chairs in the waiting area watching the Olympics. I left with a rose as a thank you for my business. Incredible.   I'm sure it is frustrating for the good VW dealerships to see posts about how bad all VW dealers are. Some are bad, others are fantastic. Shop the service center more than the few bucks you may save on the purchase.   Love my Touareg.

#81 of 285 Lowest Price on a "base" V6 model by touareg Aug 22, 2004 (6:30 am)
I'm shopping around for a Touareg and I'm planning on making a purchase in a week or two. The lowest price I've seen is $31,750. I would appreciate feedback from recent Touareg buyers, prices for the V6 model, (if you added any options please specify).   Thanks,
