Well, that what I thought as well but it isn't so. Car sold in FL do not come with dark tinted glass - go figure! I have bought 3 cars in Fl (Subaru, Mazda and VW Tdi) and none of them come with dark tinted factory windows. All cars that I bought in Southern Calif. came with dark factory tinted findows.... I don't think Dealers have anything to say - it is the distributor for each and every region that assigns cars with specific options(from manufacturer) although dealer can "special" order the car according to your needs. Why they don't come factory tinted in FL, AL and the South East is beyond my comprehension.
Extra "tinting" in the South East is that a dark film in dfferent shade is applied to windows by independent tinting shops. Some dealers subcontract tinting (with a foil) to these shops if the customer wants it.

Just had a look at the ArmstrongVW listings and from what I see, they must really drop the price when you are dealing because their posted prices on the 09' Jetta TDI Sedans are dog poo.
 
$28,000 (+) for a jetta sedan with no options except DSG?
 
The same car on Fitzmall would be $5,000 less even on a bad day.
That's enough cash difference to make you get a little creative on how you are going to get one parked on your driveway isn't it?

When I bought my 2005 Passat wagon TDI, I emailed or called every dealer in the Northwest. Armstrong was the only one that offered me a great deal. Some were close to Invoice none close to the deal offered by Armstrong. I dealt with the Internet manager who has since retired and moved to Hawaii. I never look at the prices on the inventory. They are almost always MSRP, except for outfits Iike Fitzmall. Shoot them an email and tell them you will buy from the dealer offering the lowest price. You will fly in pick up the car and that is the last they will see or hear from you. I also pay cash which simplifies the transaction.

$ 1,200 under invoice??? I think you wanted to say "under MSRP", right?
I don't think any dealer in right mind would sell a car for $ 1,200 below his cost!

 
Sorry so late to get back to you. It was $1,200 under invoice. VW had some dealer incentives for their larger dealers. I spoke with one in Columbus OH (biggest in mid-west they claim) and best they would do is invoice. Said they weren't willing to dip into the incentive money. Dealer in Philadelphia was $1,200 under invoice and had 25 or so in stock. The deal I worked on a six-speed manual with protection package was right around $21,300.

Wanted to let everyone know that I was told by a VW Dealership manager that the 2010 Jetta TDI will use the same type of urea system Daimler uses to neutralize emissions.
 
If they're making this change, doesn't that spell a problem since they've so proudly touted they're urea-free system so far?
 
He claimed it was to eke out more fuel economy but that doesn't seem rational, not to me at least.

The Touareg V6 TDI uses urea injection. I cannot find any changes to the 2.0L TDI engine for 2010-11. The Golf GTD will eventually get the 170 HP 2.0L TDI that is a real hot rod as diesels go. Still no mention of urea. All the V6 diesels from Audi, VW, BMW and Mercedes use urea injection. Sadly there are better ways to cut NoX.

I have read that the next real, total frame up change for the Jetta is due to come in 2011.
