#83 of 469 Re: DC dealerships [cm77] by cdstraw Aug 12, 2005 (4:00 am)
Replying to: cm77 (Aug 11, 2005 8:04 pm) I purchased my 2005 (A4) Jetta TDI from Ourisman VW in Laurel, MD. about 15 minutes north of the Beltway on Rt. 295 (BWI-Washington Parkway). I worked with the internet sales manager, who was very honest and upfront with what was available and what she could get and what she could do for me. No beating around the bush, haggling, or "I have to talk to my manager" conversations.   We started the e-mail conversation on a Thursday. Drove to the dealership on Saturday to meet her and discuss the details of what I wanted in the vehicle. (color, options, etc.) She called on Monday to confirm she had the exact match for what I wanted. (She had to go three states away to find the Jetta the way I wanted.) Car was brought into dealership on Tuesday, prepped and detailed on Wed., Thursday after work I finished paperwork and drove my Jetta home. Extremely happy with purchase, and especially "No Pressure" sales attitude. Sticker on my Jetta was 24K, I drove away for 19K. I've only made one long trip so far, and I averaged 53 MPG. Typically, in the city I average 43-45 MPG. The power in the engine is great, and the handling is superb. This is the first diesel I've ever owned and I doubt I will go back to a gas fueled vehicle.

Replying to: cdstraw (Aug 12, 2005 4:00 am) Thanks cdstraw for your story!   I am going to contact the internet sales manager for sure.   Which package did you end up getting on your TDI? Replies to this message: cdstraw (Aug 12, 2005 6:28 am)

Replying to: cm77 (Aug 12, 2005 6:16 am) Grey GLS with Leather, ESP, and Cold Weather, Manual Transmission. (I like to drive, not be a passenger!) My Jetta is an A4 model not the 2005 1/2 (A5) New Jetta. Originally I wanted the A5, but I couldn't pass up the price on the A4. Very happy with my choice!

Would $23,500 on a blue graphite with antrhacite interior package 1 with rear spoiler be a good deal? This does not include tax/ title, tags or processing fee.
#87 of 469 New Jetta or Mazda 3.... should i believe what i hear about Jetta Problems? by trixie1067 Aug 12, 2005 (7:20 pm)
I'm in the market for a new car. I have narrowed it down to the Mazda 6 or the New Jetta 2.5 with Package 1. Now I need help deciding. I have read a lot of reviews on the New Jetta and have read about a few problems.... If you have bought a new one please tell me how you like it!!! And what kind of a deal they got on it. Also, I don't know anyone that owns a Mazda is it reliable? Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Aug 18, 2005 8:23 am)
#88 of 469 Mazda 3 or Jetta by sandman46 Aug 13, 2005 (1:33 pm)
We were in the same prediciment last month actually. We almost pulled the trigger on a Jetta Value Edition but chose the Mazda 3 S at the last minute. We both love the Mazda 3 but after 6 weeks of ownership, the wife thinks she wants to give me the 3 and get the 2006 Jetta L. I really don't see this happening until next spring or so, but she has the 3 on a road trip these past 3 days and if she wants to give it to me sooner, she'll tell me when she gets home on monday. I'd be very happy to "inherit" the 3, as it does drive beautifully. I never got to drive the Jetta because of my own car accident and eventhough I sat in the backseat of the Value Edition, I thought that car was quite plain. The L is more duded up and we both really liked the leatherette seating surfaces. Time will tell, but my hunch is that we'll buy the Jetta before spring is over...if not before!   The Sandman Replies to this message: trixie1067 (Aug 13, 2005 5:03 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (Aug 13, 2005 1:33 pm) oops I meant Mazda 6. The value edition Jetta is a bit plain for my taste too, thats why I'm hoping to get the 2.0 with Package 1, dresses up really nicely. I just feel the interior of the Mazda 6 looks a bit... cheap? I don't know if thats the right word, but maybe a little goofy. Do you know what changes the 2006 Jetta is going to have? This is a tough one......

Replying to: trixie1067 (Aug 12, 2005 7:20 pm) We felt the seating in the Jetta was much more comfortable than either the Mazda 3 or 6. We never even drove the Mazdas because of that factor.   My wife loves her Jetta. We bought a Jetta Value edition (we do have plain taste) for my wife about 3 months ago. We paid right around invoice. There were a few minor problems that were all taken care of in one service visit. We only have 1500 miles on the car. They are changing deleting quite a few standard features in the 2006 version. There is also a 2.0T and GLI version for 2006. I think alloys become standard on all but VE. Here is some info on the 2006 2.5 that was posted on another formum that I am not allowed to name here. As you can see some stuff listed in the option packages is standard in the 2005.5:   2.5 5-speed Manual - $20,290 2.5 6-speed Automatic - $21,365 1.9L TDI 5-speed Manual - $21,290 1.9L TDI 6-speed DSG - $22,365 Destination - $615 OPTIONS: Package 1 - Sunroof, Cold Weather Package, Satellite Radio - $1,600 Package 2 - Package 1 plus Leather, Multifunction leather wheel, Leather shift knob, leather handbrake, Dual-Zone Climatronic, Compass, Highline Instrument Display w/ Trip Computer, 12-way Power Driver's Seat w/ memory, 115V power outlet - $3,485 XM or Sirius for base car - $375 Rear side airbags - $350
#91 of 469 L Model by sandman46 Aug 18, 2005 (2:29 pm)
Is there still an L model with the leatherette seating surfaces and the auto tranny? That's what the wife wants now. Hopefully they will have this combo for 2006.   The Sandman
