As an additional post I plan on ordering the 2006 Jetta TDI to get what I want, not expecting to find one. Since upsurge of interest in TDI the last couple weeks the dealerships appear not willing to deal on a TDI which is why I am asking where anyone is finding a dealership willing to negotiate.

Nothing against any TDI model, but this hysteria will quickly pass, and a reasonable price can be found. Gas in my Washington DC suburb went down 10 CENTS per gallon in ONE DAY today. Sub $2.00 gas may be history, but it is no reason to allow yourself to be abused over a marginal Mexican built car with an above average powerplant. Top dollar for a German built Passat with the TDI seems more reasonable, until you drive the new BMW 325, which I picked up for only 31K. The 30 mpg hwy of the 325 is a small price to pay for the infinitely better performance and better dealer treatment/loaner car/4 year 50K warranty including ALL parts other than tires and glass(brake pads,rotors,wiper blades,oil changes,etc) Replies to this message: zenith191 (Sep 07, 2005 8:58 pm)

Replying to: smwls8 (Sep 07, 2005 2:35 pm) Hysteria is right.   Here in Dallas we have dealerships asking upwards of $20K for a used 2003 Jetta GLS TDI with 50,000 miles !!   The minute I find a used TDI at a reasonable price it is gone. They are selling like hot cakes. One dealer here had people calling him from out of state.   The inventories of new TDI's are next to none. The dealerships are taking deposits on incoming shipments but Im almost afraid to ask the price.

Replying to: scrum (Aug 25, 2005 12:01 pm) The Dealership has every right to be "slimy" on the price of a TDI. I was on a 3-6 month waiting list for a Toyota Prius (Tampa Bay, Fl) where the price was jacked up to $30,000+ for the privilege of owning one. At the VW dealership I had to only wait a week to get a 2006 Golf GLS TDI for $21,000. I have driven both and now that I am running the VW on $1.75 per gallon BioDiesel, I can say that it was a much better buy.   btw - 100hp vs 150hp is not what matters...try Torque. At almost 180Lbs of torque compared to a gas engine, I can crease past just about any car on the road in 1/2 sec. Don't forget that HP means nothing in real life driving...Torque is what give you that neck snapping pull to quickly get around those pesky slow drivers...   marc Replies to this message: gagrice (Sep 14, 2005 8:25 pm) dolphin (Sep 16, 2005 6:32 pm)

Replying to: mgwashburn (Sep 14, 2005 6:54 pm) Welcome to the forum. Interesting experience. You should post over in Diesels & hybrids. Maybe save some others the pain of overpaying for a Prius when they can get a great little diesel.   ruking1, "Hybrids & Diesels: Deals or Duds?" #208, 14 Sep 2005 6:16 pm!make=CATS&model=Hybrid&ed_makeindex=.ef7fe1d
#111 of 831 2004 TDI w/ 10,280 miles by bruceleecc Sep 15, 2005 (3:31 pm)
What do you think? A good price would be say... $18,000? With AWD $19,000?   I'm going to go check it out tonight, am curious if it is a returned lease car and why it was returned.   Any thoughts on whether to get an 04 vs. 05 (and save a few thousand) or a TDI vs. a 1.8L? I would get an auto either way, since I don't drive manuals.   Thanks.   Should add this is at a certified dealer.   Also, it's in California. Can I drive this guy around for a few months before I move to Chicago?? Replies to this message: dl7265 (Sep 15, 2005 5:47 pm) bruceleecc (Sep 15, 2005 8:38 pm)

Replying to: bruceleecc (Sep 15, 2005 3:31 pm) There is no AWD diesel in the US for starters. I don't know the Cali market. My coworker has a 2004 tdi w 35k miles and has been offered 21k here in TX. Unfortunatly the price of Diesel change by the moment. Personally id wait until they drop more. Lots of people buy them on a whim ,and don't like them ect and you can find a better deal. At least in my area. Btw gas has went from $3.33 here to $2.50 in the last week.Hope that trend continues. good luck, DL Replies to this message: bruceleecc (Sep 15, 2005 8:38 pm)

Replying to: dl7265 (Sep 15, 2005 5:47 pm) The TDI was a hoax, they mis-labeled it online and when i got to the dealer, no car. Ah well...
