#295 of 831 Re: paid over MSRP [nova] by ksmigel Oct 14, 2008 (10:37 pm)
Replying to: nova (Oct 11, 2008 3:59 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   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.

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!

Replying to: kruocco (Sep 26, 2008 4:53 am) Not sure where you are located, but I recently purchased a Jetta TDi Sportwagen at sticker. Lia VW in Enfield, CT has diesel Jetta sedans allocated to them that have not yet been sold. I went to 5 dealers in the central CT and western Mass area and none were charging over sticker. I love the car, it drives great. My mpg has not been as great as Volkswagen leads you to believe. In the first 1,000 miles I have averaged 38mpg with a high of 45 on a 100% highway trip.

Replying to: rbidd (Oct 20, 2008 12:25 pm) Rbidd, can you advise what colors and options are available in the cars at that dealership? I'm looking to get one wagon soon. Will only consider manuals. Thanks in advance. M
#299 of 831 tdi manual tranny by hlcastelo Oct 21, 2008 (8:44 pm)
Hello. Anyone own TDI manual? If so what is the experience so far? HOw about mileage? Have you run in to the check engine light issue that I have read others describe in this forum?   I'm ready to close lease and am leaning on a 6 sp manual.   Thank you.

Replying to: rbidd (Oct 20, 2008 12:25 pm) We are in Atlanta. We haven't bought yet, we're waiting for the economy to get worse and try to make a deal when the dealers get more desperate. In the past 2 weeks 2 of the dealers who were asking $500 to be on their call list when they got new TDIs in stock have called and offered to put us on for free because "good news, the list is much shorter now" - I bet it is. The dealer who was claiming they are getting up to $3K above MSRP (and who said future ones would be more $$$) is suddenly getting in extra cars "as a bonus from VW USA for their great customer service scores" and willing to sell for MSRP now.

Replying to: hlcastelo (Oct 21, 2008 8:44 pm) I have owned a 6 spd. manual TDI for about a month now. Have approx. 1500 miles on it. Avg. 44-47 mpg. Thats 15% city, 85% highway. If you treat it gently, you will get great milage. If you get on it, it will reduce mpg. No lights have come on yet. Been running fine. The 6 spd. takes some getting use to, mostly due to coming from a 5 spd. Maxima. Everything is geard low, and requires more shifting due to close gears, but clutching is easy and light. This is my first diesel, I like it so far.   Gary
#302 of 831 Recent prices paid by mleennj Oct 31, 2008 (8:43 am)
Just wondering what people quoted lately. I was thinking about getting a TDI sportwagen. This week I got a quote from a NJ dealer for $2500 above MSRP. Is this what others are still paying now? Thanks.

Replying to: mleennj (Oct 31, 2008 8:43 am) Send emails to every dealer in a 200 mile radius. Tell them you want their no haggle best price and will not come in until you have that price on an email. DO NOT pay anything over MSRP. I think you should get down close to invoice dealing by email.

Replying to: mleennj (Oct 31, 2008 8:43 am) Since I'm polite, I would just think "drop dead and eat one" instead of saying it to the dealer. Car sales are not just flat, they are in freefall. They don't deserve your business if they are going to rip you off like that. MSRP is fair and as of right now, is market price, especially for the wagons. If it's a sedan, you should be able to find slightly below MSRP if you search around. You're also in NJ, there should be at least 10 dealers within a 1 hour drive. Isn't 1 hour of driving to get a better deal worth $2500?
