Being a buyer in this market is, oddly enough, more difficult. It seems like dealers are reluctant to cling to prices on the sales they do get more tightly because so few people are buying. Just my theory, though.
 
Try to find a hail sale if you can. Usually, the damage is extremely light, and the price goes down ridiculously.
 
As soon as we saw this car, we stopped looking. We went home, and I started the negotiations. That was on a Tuesday. The car was in our driveway by Saturday night.

Update for those who might be shopping for a Jetta. Three dealers have now lopped $500 off below invoice in their offers to me, with the caveat that this cannot be combined with the 0% interest offer. These are dealers in Indianapolis and Lafayette, IN, and Chicago, IL.
 
We're close to buying but just need for dealers to get registered and moving with the cash for clunkers program

2010 Jetta Sportwagen TDI vs. 2009 by blaurence

Since there aren't many SW TDI's around and they're going for near MSRP, I'm wondering if we could get a better deal for a 2010 if we're willing to wait two months (plus then we could get the exact colors and options we want instead of settling). Any ideas if there's an increase in price for the 2010, whether dealers will be more likely to take closer to invoice since there will be more inventory, and if there will be any national financing deals again with good APR?
Tanks!

I work at a Metro Atlanta Dealer and waiting for the 2010 Sportwagen is definitely the way to go. If you are lucky enough to find a Sportwagen now you'll pay close to MSRP or over in some parts of the country. This close to a new model year and a facelift for the SW it would not be a good financial decision.
 
Our TDI SW's are on order and expected for 60 days or so, I'd encourage waiting.

The only VW dealership in Tulsa is asking MSRP + $2000 Market Adjustment + $700 Dealer Add Ons for all remaining Jetta TDI's. I offered MSRP - $500, and they didn't even consider it. Seems like cash for clunkers has driven up the demand, and combined with low supply, the dealer, at least in Tulsa, can get over retail for this car now.

I'm waaaaayyyy late to the Sportwagen TDI party...seems like I'm too late.
 
I was never in the market for a new car but once the cash for clunkers deal came along I started to look around (online) a bit and quickly realized that the Sportwagen TDI is the perfect car for me (lots of leg room, great mileage, and a wagon). I also have a new job and will do some serious commute miles for a few months and the “clunker” is not going to make it much longer.
 
I quickly realized that this car is very difficult to find. I live in the inland Pacific Northwest (90 minutes away from Spokane and 5 hours form Seattle). Looking around the NW it seems as though there are very few SW TDIs available. Yesterday I went up to Appleway VW in Spokane to just look at the gas SW and to my surprise they actually do have a Sportwagen TDI. It's a manual with 16" wheels and has the sunroof and the iPod adapter. The salesman disclosed immediately that this car was involved in an accident (a fender bender as it was pulling out of the lot and it was currently being fixed). He showed me the car back in the body shop area where it was apart and being fixed. He says that it will still be covered under warranty and the accident will never show up on a carfax report.
 
He also said that they will sell it at MSRP of $26095...and that's it...no dealing since it is such a hot item.
 
I was not ready to wheel and deal right then and there and thought I may have a leg up because of the little accident. After getting home and doing more research it seems as though I may be screwed as far as dealing goes. My "clunker" is getting quite bad though it can probably make it to Portland, Boise, or Seattle so I’m willing to travel a bit if it will save me some cash.
 
Any opinions would be appreciated...basically I’m wondering what kind of offer I should go it with. I’ve never purchased a new car before and everything I read talks about starting below invoice but the TDI seems like a different beast due to the demand.
 
If this is not the forum to post this "question" in sorry to waste your time.
 
Thanks

Based on what you are saying, and what I know as a VW salesman - take the car at MSRP, or someone else will.
When he is telling you they will sell it at MSRP - there is no hidden meaning to it, don't waste anyone's time with offers.

Thanks...that what I thought. I could not pull the trigger due to the sunroof. Someone else did, though.
 
Looks like I'll just be looking at a regular Jetta TDI.

I am taking advantage of the cash for clunkers program and trading in my 1997 Jeep Cherokee country 4WD for a 2009 VW Jetta TDi Sportwagen. I am writing from Georgia and the only manual transmission wagon that I could find is in Chicago. I put my deposit down on Monday and driving up this weekend. The manual is a must for us. We have had the Jeep since new, it has 173000 miles. We are buying the Jetta TDi because we believe that it will last just as long (and hopefully longer) and get 40+ MPG. I thought it was crazy that no Tdi's were available in the SW US. The dealer in Chicago told me that this was the last one there as well. I called almost everywhere! I could find a couple auto trans, but no manual. Good luck if you are still looking. If that extra money gets approved from congress, you may be able to order a 2010, but you are risking it!
