#54 of 59 Re: VW- NOT being licensed in CO? [itslisa] by michaell Aug 23, 2009 (10:11 am)
Replying to: itslisa (Aug 23, 2009 9:09 am) I don't know if CO laws or VW policies have changed, but when we got to the end of our lease of our '99 NB in Colorado, VW Finance made an attractive offer for financing the residual. Low APR, and, if I remember correctly, a small decrease in the residual value.   You should talk with VW Finance directly, not your dealer, regarding your options.   (BTW, my local VW dealer was McDonald Auto Group in Englewood) Replies to this message: itslisa (Aug 23, 2009 10:41 am) michaell (Aug 24, 2009 6:49 am)

Replying to: michaell (Aug 23, 2009 10:11 am) Michaell, Thank you for your response. Same dealer in question. I had already talked with VW and they sent me to the dealer! VW is a pain - - - to deal with whether it be dealer or corp. It has been my experience that neither care about resolve. Perhaps that should be my Q to exit stage left? I do love my car though... SO FAR no huge issues. Replies to this message: michaell (Aug 24, 2009 6:49 am)

Replying to: itslisa (Aug 23, 2009 10:41 am) I would call VW Finance and ask to speak with a supervisor .. generally, the front line folks who work the phones don't have a lot of authority and, in many cases, work from a prepared script.   Eventually, you should be able to talk with someone who can make a decision .. let them know you are considering turning the car in and getting a different brand. It' not likely that they want to see you walk.   Our NB ("Beauty") had a few small issues as well that required visits to the dealer, but we had purchased an extended warranty so didn't cost much out of pocket.   Good luck and let us know how everything turned out.
#57 of 59 09 New Beetle Convertible price by viewty Sep 27, 2009 (7:56 pm)
Dear Team,   Was just quoted the following for a CASH deal in Southern California...   $24,000...from an MSRP price of $27,350 for a 2009 Convertible. They offered a $2,500 Friends and Family type of incentive ( we own a 09' Rabbit as well).   My thoughts are they can do better as the 2010s are only a few weeks away.   Please comment.

Replying to: viewty (Sep 27, 2009 7:56 pm) VW only has about $1000 markup from invoice to sticker price. You can check it on several pricing websites to confirm. In my case, I bought a 2008 Beetle Convertible in June 2008. Got about $1500 off sticker. I would say if you are getting a total of $2500 off sticker, you got a good deal. Not sure who is kicking in the $2500 for Friend and Family, but I doubt you will find a better deal.   P.S. You will love the convertible! Replies to this message: viewty (Oct 10, 2009 8:16 am)

Replying to: belaircarguy (Oct 10, 2009 3:31 am) Thanks for the info as I feel much better knowing that I got a good deal. We went into the showroom with no intent to buy, and the next thing I am doing is negotiating with no idea of what the base costs were.    And you are right, we love the convertible!
