Suntrup VW yet again by pengwin

after getting past the fact that an SE is NOT a wolfsburg. Im looking at the Jetta SE advertisement. MSPR on an SE is around 20-21k with the automatic. Seeing that their ad says there needs to be 2000 down im still looking at 16k +1000 more because of the loyalty cash and as far as i can tell ~17k for a VW jetta SE. I dont plan on leasing.
 
am i getting all of this correct?
 
edit: just read a few posts prior to this. seems as if the 13k price is for an S, still ~18k for an S auto isnt bad that's below MSRP

There is no way to read that ad, and get any idea of what the price really is.... There are so many contradictions and mixed terms and deals, that the ad really means nothing..
 
Figure out what you think is a great deal, then go to your preferred dealership... Get their price, then make your offer... If their deal doesn't seem good, then move on to another dealer..
 
Maybe Suntrup VW is a great dealer... Could be... but, don't go by their advertising... It's all gibberish, IMO..

Which South Florida VW store did you go to? Live about 2 miles from Gunther on 441 in Coconut Creek. Almost bought the 2006 Value Edition from them back in late '05 but didn't trust the sales person...just a bad vibe we got.
You're right about being low balled on your Civic...worth way more with such low miles.

In this situation, in the past I just go directly to the local dealer[s] selling the car I want to get rid of, and let them bid on the car.
 
Get the names of the Honda dealer people actually doing the assessment, and their offers in writing. Then you can either sell to them directly, or point the VW dealer to the phone and tell them to call the person who is offering the highest bid on the Civic.
 
I've often used this technique when trading at a dealership that is reluctant to give me a good trade value. Never had a problem getting a fair deal this way.

In trying to read the fine print, that looks like a lease deal for four years at 12K miles per year. About the only thing you'll get out of it, if purchasing, will probably be the $1000 owner loyalty.

Another option is to go to Carmax and have them value your trade. They should be fairly close to what new car dealers may give you but if you like the price, then take the cash and go get your new Jetta. I used this when I bought my last car and the dealer came pretty close to the carmax price. It also seems to me that in order to get the best rade in price on a Honda, you have to take it to Toyota or Nissan. makes their cars look good when they can say, "This guy traded his almost new honda for one of mine."

Want to buy SE Auto with IPOD attachment for my daughter. (she totaled her C 280 MB) Does anyone know of what should I pay in California? Any dealership recommendations would be great.
 
Wondering 2008 v/s 2009 if change in style, 3 v/s 4 years maintenance offer and price difference are they worth going for 2008 or 2009?
 
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
