My sister lives out towards Winchester - I just got another horror story from her about VW service, but I'm not sure how much is the dealer and how much is my sister <g>.
 
But from reading other dealer stories around Town Hall, it doesn't sound like there are a lot of great dealers (of any make) around DC.

hello, i was quoted a price for a base V6 touareg with xenon headlights and upgraded sound system for $32,500. This will include a lifetime loaner for service of the vehicle. It is a 2004, is this a good deal?

Hello,
 
From what others are posting, that seems like a reasonable deal.
 
Just out of curiosity, are you in the Chicago area? (I think I may have gotten a quote on the exact same car

Stay away from the V-6 T-reg. Consumer Reports just tested one and they liked everything but the anemic acceleration. And if CR calls it slow, it's s-l-o-w!
 
Disagree with statements about the poor resale value of VW in general. In fact the opposite is documented. In the wagon category, the Jetta TDI has the highest resale. In the SUV category, The Porsche Cayenne has the highest return - and we all know the T-reg is a first cousin to the Cayenne.

Does anyone know if VW is still offering 0% financing on the Touareg?

That price is good. Both options are worth it, in my opinion. I have the v6, xenons, stereo, air suspension and pp2. Took off the roof rack. The air suspension is cool, particularly if you go off road, but by no means is it necessary. The xenons are great outside the city, particularly for old man eyes. I would have been happier with the perforated leatherette, but in order to get power seats and a few other niceties, pp2 and leather had to be ordered. The leather is non perf'd and hot. In 10k miles, there are times that I wished it had a bit more power off the line, but I have never had embarassing or unsafe moments. Forget dicing through city traffic. Power on the highway is never a problem. The car cruises in complete comfort at whatever speed you like, including way over the speed limit. The v8 has no problem with accelleration. However, it uses much more gas and has a kind of touchy gas pedal. In our area, the only used Touaregs are V8's. Go figure. By the way, I operate at 5500 to 11000 feet of elevation. Average mileage so far is 18.3mpg.
 
As far as resale, I'm not too worried. Overall, the truck is of very high quality and a treat to drive on any surface. What's a few thousand dollars if you are driving the car you really wanted? There is a price for driving something that does not appeal to the masses. I am not interested in an RX330. When it came out this winter, there were at least 6 in my immediate neighborhood within the month. They are perfect for people that are not car enthusiasts. Consumer Reports is for those people. I personally think they are a chicken doo doo organization. Look at their ganging up on Isuzu and Suzuki, but leaving Ford, GM and Chrysler alone on SUV rollovers. I don't believe there's any substantial difference in rollover propensity for any of those SUV's, circa 1995. I've driven them all and lived with many of them.

Are you nuts? There is not a car made today that does not have enough acceleration! Just another bogus upgrade to empty your wallet. In this day and age the V8 should not even be available. BTW all suvs should have diesels available with a tax rebate.

"Are you nuts?"
Umm, I didn't write the article, Consumer Reports did - as I clearly stated.
 
"There is not a car made today that does not have enough acceleration!"
First off the T-reg is not a CAR, it is a 3 ton SUV. With what criteria is the rest of your statement based on? Your own?
 
" In this day and age the V8 should not even be available." Maybe on your planet choices are not allowed, on this one we can actually choose what suits are needs the best! Amazing, huh?.
 
"Just another bogus upgrade to empty your wallet" Another of your value judgments. This is a T-reg forum. If your worried about your wallet and tax rebates, you're in the wrong forum.

Was it "outdoor" price, including state tax and paperwork expenses?
