Leftover 2004 Jetta GLI, loaded with everthing, NEW. Sticker is just under $26K and they are offering it for just under $21K. I know it's a good deal, but considering the car is going to be 2 model years old in a few more months, I want it to be an exceptional deal. Should I jump on this or should I get them to come down a little more considering I can spend a little more for the new model, which I also like?

Replying to: irenek90 (Apr 06, 2005 10:28 am) Are you getting this quote from North Penn Imp? Have you bought from them already? I think $21,000 is a good deal since you got 200hp, 17" low profile tire wheel, ESP, ASR, EDL, sports suspension, which GL, or GLS have not got. As a matter of fact, I bought one from them on Apr 1. I prefer this one over the new 2005.5, more hp, better handling and better VW look. The only compliant is the braking power.

Although I'm a normally intelligent person, I get thoroughly stupid when I sit down with a salesman. Remember that girl in school who did fine in all her classes, but flunked Finance? Yes, that was me. Someone please help!! My daughter is in college, 5 states away, with 7 YEARS of grad school before getting a real job - she currently has 3 part time jobs. I'm going to co-sign a car loan for her. Her 1995 Civic has been an excellent car, but it now has 95,000 miles and constantly needs repairs/part replacements. Anyway, she wants a Jetta, and I want a reliable, long-lasting, safe car for as little as possible. Questions: 1. Does VW currently offer any financing deals? 2. Does VW offer "certified used vehicles"? 3. Anyone know Jetta's crash test safety rating? 4. Can anyone explain the 05a - how does it differ from the 05? 5. We'd like to buy an 05 demo, but if unavailable, would you suggest a used Jetta, or a new one? 6. What "off the lot" price should I aim for? ie: $200 over invoice, $1,000 under msrp...? Thank you all so much for your opinions.

These are currently through tomorrow, so you will want to see what new incentives are in a couple days 2. Does VW offer "certified used vehicles"? yes 3. Anyone know Jetta's crash test safety rating? Good...check iihs.org and safercar.gov 4. Can anyone explain the 05a - how does it differ from the 05? A lot. New one is much larger and is a totally new design. When you look them up here on endmunds.com, the new one is 2.5 and value edition old one is GL GLS, etc. 5. We'd like to buy an 05 demo, but if unavailable, would you suggest a used Jetta, or a new one? If it was my daughter, I'd suggest she keep the used 95 Civic  6. What "off the lot" price should I aim for? ie: $200 over invoice, $1,000 under msrp...? Use edmunds TMV also look at the link to incentives when you do the TMV thing. Also look at carsdirect.com.

My husband and I looked at a 2002 Jetta GLS TDI, manual w/ almost 52,000 miles on it. At first, the salesman told me the price was $18,880, but that it was a loaded car and sold initially for $24,000. Does this sound right? In subsequent research I can only find a MSRP of $18,950. They lowered the price almost immediately to $16,880 and when I got home there was an email w/ the price at $15,900, but the blue book value looks like it's about $13,000. Also, I read one review on epinions that said the the 2002 had terrible reliability problems and that it single handedly brought the overall reliability of the European import lower than the US car mfgrs to its lowest level in 30 years. Any of this sound right, wrong, or??? I'm a bit confused. Considering the CarFAX report, but not until I've exhausted free avenues. Thanx. |

We bought Graphite Blue VE for my wife today. Got a really good price, they sold it to us for about $18,940 with automatic and ESP (including the dealer's $89 "processing fee"). This is about $50 below invoice. We had to go about 75 miles away to get it but (in addition to getting exactly what my wife wanted) the deal was worth it. Buying experience was completely painless at Zimbrick VW Marketplace in Middelton, WI. I emailed them asked what their price was on the specific car we wanted and they came back with $18,849. I asked for the "out-the-door" price and they sent back itemized price totaling $20,017, with the processing fee, tax, title and plates. This was the exact amount that we paid when we got the car. The only surprise was they said edmunds was wrong about the 2.9% financing from VW. Edmunds says this is for up to 48 months, but dealer said it was only for up to 24 months. We took the 24 month loan. |
