#126 of 467 Re: 2006 Jetta 2.0T in NC - buying experience & first impressions [spiveygb] by martyt1 Oct 25, 2005 (8:18 am)
Replying to: spiveygb (Oct 17, 2005 7:39 am) Hey Spiveygb, I live in the Raleigh/Durham area and was wondering if you could tell me how many 2.0T Jettas they had on the lot in Durham and with what packages. I was in there about a month ago and they offered me $800 over invoice, granted that this was their first offer and I was not in a hurry to buy. Invoice price is a great deal and might go back if I can get it. Did you go to Leith VW in Cary and check out their inventory? Their online inventory is down. Thanks a lot.   Martyt Replies to this message: spiveygb (Oct 25, 2005 9:47 am)

Replying to: martyt1 (Oct 25, 2005 8:18 am) As of last week they had a red 2.0t with pkg 1. I shopped several dealers. My particular model with no options was difficult to find. I knew exactly what I wanted so I dealt (or tried to deal) with Leith, SS Raleigh, SS Durham, Maxwell, and Goldsboro. The dealership in Goldsboro and Leith were shaky. They tried to provide some bogus information and they didn't act professional (didn't call back when they said, tried to push me to another car, etc.) . They were marked off the list quickly. SS Raleigh were nice but they seemed unwilling to do much legwork in locating my car. Maxwell was okay, again with the heavy sales approach, but they were responsive but could not match SS Durham. Which leads me to SS Durham. I dealt directly with the sales manager. He was low key and we did a bit of haggling before arriving on a price. Their service after the sale has been good and I feel comfortable with the deal. Also, check my earlier posting about carsdirect.com. They are definitely worth checking out even if for a price comparison. They were able to beat everyone but SS Durham on price and I could have been done in 30 minutes.
#128 of 467 2006 Jetta Base 2.5 with Package Zero in IL by amoviefan1 Nov 16, 2005 (11:58 pm)
Replying to: spiveygb (Oct 17, 2005 7:39 am) I'm interested in buying a new 2006 Jetta Base 2.5 with Package Zero and automatic trans. (Sticker Price: $21,980) in the next week or so. Has anyone bought a Jetta like this, and if yes, how much did you pay?   This late in the year (Mid-November), are there any new 2005.5 Jettas out there with Package 1 and automatic? I live in the Chicago suburbs.   Thanks for any help and comments. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Nov 17, 2005 5:02 am)

#130 of 467 06 Jetta VE auto best buying experience in MD by notsure Nov 17, 2005 (8:51 am)
Me too have been lurking in this forum for a while, having bought 4 new cars in the past 5 years, thanks for all the great helps in Edmunds. The lateast experience last week is the greatest! I'd love to share with you and would recommend this dealership and the internet sales lady wholeheartedly!   We want a safe commuter with a little kid between work place/daycare and home (the van will sit around in garage for weekend etc). Jetta obviously the best one out there for this purpose. I searched info on a Jetta a week ago and requested price quotes through Edmunds -- 4 of them. We got the best quote from Valley Motor/VW. Then we stopped at the dealership on Saturday to finalize the deal for about 20 minutes, a great experience without any pressure. Then she delivered the car to my home the past Tuesday. The total out-of-the-door price is $20,025.00 on this 2006 Jetta VE auto with ESP and Rear Airbag options. That was it -- 2 emails, one 20minutes visit to dealer, then a deliver to house! As you can see, I am extremely happy with the experience and the car so far.
#131 of 467 Just bought leftover 05.5 Jetta 2.5 by bluellama Nov 20, 2005 (12:33 pm)
Hi all,   This board has been a big help in our car buying experience so I thought I would post our deal.   We ended up getting a leftover 05.5 Jetta 2.5 ( reflex silver) with package 1 for $19000 + 375 dlr fee from a dealership in Denver. They were offering $4000 off MSRP for all of their leftover 05s. We really didn't negotiate much, they just threw that number out and we took it. The deal included a $500 loyality rebate. We looked at some Subarus, but for the money the Jetta seemed like a lot more car. I think with a set of blizzaks it should be plenty capable in the snow.   Happy Driving!!!
#132 of 467 2005.5 Jetta 2.5 w/Package 1 in Chicago by amoviefan1 Nov 21, 2005 (7:13 am)
Way to go, Denver! I just negotiated a deal for a friend in Chicago over the phone for a new (not a Demo) 2005.5 Jetta with Package 1 and the trunk mat/rubber mat set. Sticker was $24,225. With the $1000 dealer cash (which not all VW dealers told us about) and aggressive negotiating, I got the car for $21,000 plus documentation fee ($56), tax, title and license. This is the lowest price I've heard of for a deal on this model in Chicago. There was no trade-in. It was well below cost and even below holdback! I guess I should tell my friend to move to Denver. : )   I always get a beter price with strong phone negotiation versus e-mail. I think too many people want it to be easy and hassle free (which I understand) and don't realize that they might've overpaid by $500 to $1000. Dealers should be friendly, not trick you AND give you the lowest price...not just 2 out of 3. And I know that most people give up way too easily on getting more money on their trade in. You can get a rock bottom price if you pit 2 or 3 dealers against each other, just put in a few hours and you'll be amazed. Too many people buy from the closest dealer and overpay. It's really a shame. Please save the money for your family. My buddy loves his new Jetta! Package 1 in 2005.5 in much nicer than 2006's Package 1. Good luck everyone.
#133 of 467 Factory-to-Dealer Incentives? by move_zig Feb 15, 2006 (6:24 pm)
Hello! I am wondering if there are any secret factory-to-dealer incentives on the '06 Jetta right now. My wife and I are trying to buy a gray Pckg. 1 w/ DSG and have been offered 25,050 before TT&L. If there is a hidden incentive, though, we would obviously like to try to lower our cost.   We have seen on carsdirect.com a target price for the '06 GLI Pckg. 1 w/ DSG listed as 23,971. At the top of the options list, it says, "Special Pricing - Expires 2/28/06", but lists no numbers or other explanation. I did the math and figured out a $1000 hidden incentive in their listed target price. Can anyone shed some light on this highly secretive topic? :] Thank you!

Replying to: move_zig (Feb 15, 2006 6:24 pm) Why not just buy through carsdirect.com, then?   There is $500 owner loyalty, maybe the target price is assuming you qualify for that plus giving up the holdback???
#135 of 467 2006 Jetta, 2.5L, automatic, package 2 price by rumblefish1 Feb 28, 2006 (3:00 pm)
Bought a new 2006 Jetta, 2.5L, automatic transmission, package 2 from inventory in the St. Louis, Mo. Metro area for $24,000 "out the door" the week of February 20th.   Had another area VW dealer willing to go a bit lower ($23,926) on a 2006 Jetta, 2.5L, automatic transmission, package 2 and rear air bag, but it wasn't the preferred color. The "manufacture date" on this "wrong color" inventory vehicle - determined by walking the dealer's lot after hours - was July 2005 (!!!!). Figured that for the price difference ($74) we'd stick with our color prefence (the additional rear air bag on the "wrong color" Jetta didn't entice us either).   With regard to the CarsDirect "target price" - it was the only website that listed such a low "target" or "negotiated price." So, either Carsdirect knew something others didn't or it's information was faulty.   Either way, though, we found it impossible to get the VW dealers to go any lower - so if there is any manufacturer to dealer money, we weren't successful in getting them to give it up through our direct negotiations. In fact, we counter-proposed to the "wrong color" dealer (ya know, the one with the manufacture date of July 2005) at $23,500 and told him we were definitely buying the "right color" later that afternoon unless he cut the price. During the day, we got no return message from him. So we bought the "right color" at the other dealer. Later that same evening that we bought the "right color" Jetta, we got an email from "wrong color" salesman saying "sorry I was off today. If you bought the car already, you've got a great car. If not, then give me a call and let's finalize the deal." (what "deal"??).   Ok, I can either be generous (he wasn't lying about being off) or not (he was lying about being off and just playing possum) with regard to the "wrong color" salesman. But, let's just say this was a designated "internet salesman" with whom we had been emailing over the past 24 hours AND he had our cellphone number so we'll let the reader decide which way they would go on that.   To sum up our experience, it was very difficult to get two area dealers into an effective "reverse auction" for a 2006 Jetta at a price much below $24,000.   At the end of the day, I think $24,000 on our new "right color" 2006 Jetta, 2.5L automatic, with package 2 was a "good deal."
