Replying to: gagrice (Jul 19, 2009 7:54 pm) But the numbers in this example would be telling. You have a choice of selling 100 (TDI) vehicles. You have to go thru a costly and lengthy certification procedure and put on an extra 3,500 compliance system and it might take you some time to sell the 100 vehicles in the US markets. Now in China, way faster and less costly certification procedure and not having to put the extra 3,500 in the compliance system and they are literally sold before shipment !!. What would be YOUR choice !!?? |

Cool. I'll take a 911 TDI or Cayman TDI please, manual transmission.

Replying to: elias (Jul 20, 2009 11:19 am) The 911 Carrerra S already has 385 hp and 310 #ft !! Using the same ratios as the VW Jetta TDI that would make a 911 TDI 266 hp and 448 # ft !!?? Or 45% more # ft !!! |

Has anybody been able to find a dealer in the MI or Chicago area that is willing to sell a Jetta TDI Loyal Edition w/ a few options at near TMV value? I have yet to find one. They are not even budging on the 2010 models coming end of August. They are willing to take your money to hold, but no promisse on the final car price. This is insane.... are these SO HOT that every deal can just be all Omnipotent ?. If that is the case, then it's not something I want - no smart buyer should bow down to being ripped off and making these greedy dealers more money. Any good leads and advice is greatly appreciated. Willing to travel a bit to find the deal - even will go to same sales person and recommend you as well. Thanks a mil.

May was the best month to buy a TDI. They had dealer incentive of $1,500 in May, then they dropped to to $1,000 in June, and now it's $500. No idea what August will bring. It might go back up after the 2010's arrive...but there most likely won't be much of anything to pick from. From what I've seen/heard the manual transmissions are getting really hard to find. Pricing isn't out yet on the 2010 models....so it would be hard to deal on a precise number but I would think they would agree to $XX discount. The dealer in Philly is taking orders at $200 under invoice....whatever that works out to be. I was very close to buying from this dealer in Philly back in June but I couldn't get one exactly the way I wanted....and I'm picky. Now if someone could use the cash4clunkers program, plus the $1,300 tax credit, plus buy at under invoice....that would be a terrific deal.

Replying to: rremer1 (Jul 26, 2009 5:21 am) From what I've seen on the other site, he is also out of wagons and says he needs about 100 days to place the order. I'm betting he is getting plenty of allocation on these considering the number of TDI's they move. I do not believe they've been offering nearly as good of a deal on the JSW's though....probably because demand has been so strong on them. Sedans had the factory incentives but not the wagons. The last deal I seen him advertise on a 2009 JSW was $600 over invoice. Not sure what he's doing on 2010 orders. I'm not sure what I would do if I was shopping a TDI wagon. They seem to go pretty quick and you'll not likely get that great of a deal. If you're specific about what you want, I'd say pay the deposit and wait on it just to make sure. |

Replying to: sebring95 (Jul 26, 2009 5:39 am) A friend put a deposit on a diesel Dasher and when the year was up he did not need the car. The dealer gave him $500 for his interest in the car. They were bringing big premiums around 1980.

Replying to: sebring95 (Jul 26, 2009 5:39 am) Again they are on track to overall sell 30% diesel with the initial 2009 target of 25%. As I have not read what the initial target was for the JSW other than they would produce far less of them, I am assuming 25% diesel was also the initial target. I am sure that EVERY car maker would like to have problems of this nature. I think it is especially true inview of the almost D..... like economy. |
