#287 of 831 paid over MSRP by noa1 Oct 08, 2008 (12:52 pm)
Just got the new 2009 TDI for my wife. Ended up paying about $800.00 over MSRP i'm not very pleased with the fact that i paid over MSRP but i'm guessing this cars are going to be out in limited numbers till God knows when + we got the 6 speed manual. According the the sales person it was already reserved but willing to make an extra buck on it. they had at least four others but with auto trany. My wife and I agreed that if we're purchasing it's got to be a manual, you pay premium on a diesel at this point in time. by the way this took place in Pasadena, Ca. previously we went to Santa Monica VW asked the sales person if we could test drive the TDI we were told they were not allowing test drives on the TDI till probably February 2009 unless we're willing to put a deposit, all the TDI's they're getting sell before arrival. so i probably got the shaft but sometimes you got to take it and be happy that at least got got it. I don't know if we got the Loyal edition but it's kind of fully equipped. Sun roof, leatheratte, premium sound, electronic driver side seat, steering wheel controls, ipod hookup, heated outside mirrors, premium wheels + a host of other features and for those who have not tested they're a blast to drive.

Replying to: noa1 (Oct 08, 2008 12:52 pm) I would NEVER pay over MSRP and will never pay MSRP. I will wait I have seen them on e.bay for MSRP. I don't have to have the car with the country in this condition. They will be UNDER MSRP by DEC / 09 Replies to this message: gagrice (Oct 11, 2008 6:13 pm) nova (Oct 11, 2008 8:03 pm) gagrice (Oct 12, 2008 4:00 pm) and 2 more... ksmigel (Oct 14, 2008 10:37 pm)

Replying to: nova (Oct 11, 2008 3:59 pm) If the backlog of hybrids on the lots are any indicator. I would say by Dec this year you can get close to invoice on a Jetta TDI. Not sure about the wagon. I am with you. I never get in a big hurry to throw my money away. Replies to this message: nova (Oct 11, 2008 8:03 pm) gagrice (Oct 12, 2008 4:00 pm) bobgwtw (Oct 12, 2008 8:37 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: gagrice (Oct 11, 2008 6:13 pm) Also the Honda diesel will be out in the Acua TSX in about 4 months. Volkswagen enjoy the party now because I would take Honda reliability over Volkswagen any day Replies to this message: gagrice (Oct 12, 2008 4:00 pm) bobgwtw (Oct 12, 2008 8:37 pm) noa1 (Oct 13, 2008 2:42 pm)

Replying to: nova (Oct 11, 2008 8:03 pm) Acua TSX in about 4 months.   That will be good for business. BMW will be out in December also. I think I would take the 335d over the TSX. They will be priced similarly. At least $10k more than the VW Jetta TDI. Until Honda brings a diesel in the $24k range VW will have the market to themselves.

Replying to: gagrice (Oct 12, 2008 4:00 pm) I've read somewhere on the internet - can't remember where - that the diesel premium on the TSX will be $850. If this is corect it will be $5 grand or so more than the TDI, but way less than a comparably equiped BMW. For me, an extra 5 grand for the TSX would be money well spent to avoid VW's maintenance & repair costs. Replies to this message: noa1 (Oct 13, 2008 2:42 pm)

Replying to: bobgwtw (Oct 12, 2008 8:37 pm) In regards to reliability I don't know if you own or have owned any new VW in the past, of course the reason i use the word new it's because you can't hold the manufacturer responsible for any abuse the car could suffered at the hands of the original owner. In our family we've owned not one but several and we have never ever had any significant problem with any of our VW's. some claim to have had these horrible experiences. and i can assure you two of our VW's are being driven by young adults and those kids are not kind to their cars. But if we ever experience reliability problems we'll be the first ones to report.
#294 of 831 No more than MSRP by chutist Oct 13, 2008 (3:41 pm)
I checked several dealers today and each one had TDI's on the lot. VW Santa Monica has 20 and would sell me any TDI on the lot for MSRP.   I'm waiting and watching.... I need a car and was going Prius but if the TDI performs better, I'm interested!   I bet at the end of the month I can make a deal!

I don't have to have the car with the country in this condition. They will be UNDER MSRP by DEC / 09   I agree. Gas and diesel prices will continue to drop. We will see $55/barrel oil soon, with a serious recession looming closely on the horizon (I trade commodities, and follow these markets closely).   Hybrids and diesels will experience a relatively dramatic slowdown in sales, at which time, manufacturers will begin stacking cash on the hood to move them, just like the rest of the cars they're trying to move.   Also, hybrid production is increasing, as existing production lines are increasing the number of cars produced, new plants are about to bring additional models on line (Honda's new Insight in April of '09), and new diesel offerings from Acura, Honda and other German automakers hit the market.   Auto sales are experiencing their worst decline in a long, long time. In 2006, over 17 million new cars were sold in the U.S. Industry specialists claim that only 12-13 million or so new cars will be sold in '08, and '09 may actually be worse (in fact, they're saying it probably will be).   Time is on your side, yes it is.
#296 of 831 Funny how things change by chutist Oct 15, 2008 (2:08 pm)
A week ago they were asking MSRP PLUS for a TDI Jetta around SoCal...   Today I had a call back from a dealer that told me the "Good deal" internet price was MSRP... Now she says "we'll beat any deal you find"   No wonder... they have 20 TDI's in stock. And they are in stock all across SoCal.   Please -> Nobody fall for the "these are hard to get" sales line! They are just a car and there is enough supply!
