Grrr... Are all car dealerships adding on to the MSRP for the Jetta TDI? The dealership in Bellingham, WA wants full MSRP plus $1500 "market adjustment". Here's an e-mail I received when I asked about the market adjustment. What a load of bullshit. Market adjustment is an amount we add onto the MSRP and we do this because the TDI's are in high demand and limited supply. Other dealers are marking up their TDI's from $2k to $4+ above MSRP. The TDI's hold their value extremely well. Prime example is my customer who was on our waiting list for 1 year for a 2009 Jetta Wagon TDI. He was the first one on the list and bought our first Jetta Wagon TDI, manual transmission. After 2 weeks of owning it he decided he really had to have an automatic so his daughter could drive it too. He traded it in for what he paid (MSRP + $1,500) and we turned around and sold it again for even more. It was on the lot for 1 week. Are you interested in our 2009 Jetta TDI Sedan? Would you like to come in to see it? Internet Sales Specialist Roger Jobs Motors, Inc. 2200 Iowa St. Bellingham, WA 98229 www.rogerjobs.com

Replying to: pkh540 (Nov 25, 2008 9:10 pm) I too have heard many anecdotal accounts of dealer pricing in Seattle. Use the VW website to explore dealer alternatives up and down the West Coast. You will not have any trouble finding someone who will sell you a Jetta TDI sedan at MSRP. The wagon is another story - too much demand, too little production. |

Hi all! I am planning to buy my first car at the end of the month and was wondering if anyone has any idea of how much one can reasonably negotiate the price? I was quoted (by email) a price of $19,000 for a 2009 Jetta S w auto transmission, "cold weather package" and iPod hookup. Do you think I can get them down to $15,000 or would that just be laughable (and perhaps rude)?

Replying to: BilKop (Dec 02, 2008 9:17 am) Offering $15,000 is $3,500 below invoice, which would most likely get you laughed/thrown out of the dealership. I would personally try to negotiate by offering something that's invoice or invoice - 1000 and go from there. I am also in the market to lease a 09 Jetta S manual, and would be interested in seeing what others are able to get (in terms of amount below invoice). Thanks, atenb |

Went to a local dealer - Fred Beans Volkswagon of Devon PA and drove and loved it. Told the nice salesman wasn't quite ready to make a decision as I had a few more cars to drive, then would be making mind up this week or next. Was offered SE, automatic, with Ipod adapter and mats (lol) for $21,317. Seems like a semi decent deal from the start - no negotiating yet on my part. thoughts?? Also - Should I be conserned about the questionable reliability or is that a myth? cheers all..... |
