#300 of 831 Re: 2009 TDI price increase? [rbidd] by kruocco Oct 22, 2008 (3:50 am)
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

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) 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?
#305 of 831 New TDI bought under MSRP by bill_a Nov 01, 2008 (10:51 am)
Hi All,   I have been looking for a month now at a TDI, an I just got one yesterday.   09 Jetta TDI 6sp manual, with sunroof and mudflaps MSRP $23,809 - actual buy price with dealer fee: $22,495.50, diff. of $1,313.50.   Details of deal car 21896.5 dealer fee 599 reg 213.75 taxes 1403.86 OTD 24113.11   I got this deal through the internet department, and they really wanted to make a sale on the 31st of Oct. They removed a lot of the price to start, and it was not enough, so I was going to get a Wolfsburg at another dealer for $20,500 (manual trans.), and they even brought the price down so there dealer fee (which is high) did not affect the price that much.   So for those of you still paying over MSRP, stop, get some internet pricing and shop around (this deal was in South FL). I am happy with this deal, cheaper is better, but the economy is slow, and there are deals to be had. However, VW finance rate on the TDI are HORRIBLE - ~8%.... This I can not believe, I wanted VW Financing because I save on my lease turn-in (Audi A4), but I will pay the the extra $350 to turn in the car, b/c I got a much better rate at a normal bank.   Thanks for this site I use it to see what people are really paying, and the above is real.   all the best, Bill A

Replying to: mleennj (Oct 31, 2008 8:43 am) Just paid list price at Colonial VW in Trevose PA. Just across the river northern philly suburb. Was on the list since August...wagon came in in the colors I wanted, but with the sunroof. Oh well...   2500 above MSRP? In this economy? Was in and out in 2 hours, they took my Caddy Seville in trade.   200 miles on it since yesterday when I picked up. With cruise control on, on the NJ turnpike between exit 9 and 7A...was returning a constant 50 MPG at 65/70 MPH.   Oh, yeah, the dealer delivered with a full tank. I have just a little under 3/4 right now.   You can do better. Replies to this message: repoman1 (Nov 02, 2008 7:50 pm) bryanav8r (Nov 05, 2008 6:12 am)

Replying to: bryanav8r (Nov 02, 2008 6:07 pm) bryanav8r please keep us posted on your MPG with your Sportwagon. It would be great to know your actual MPG after you have gone through 3-4 tanks of gas and 2000+ miles. Replies to this message: bryanav8r (Nov 05, 2008 6:12 am)

Replying to: repoman1 (Nov 02, 2008 7:50 pm) Will do. Right now, at 500 miles (I'm driving it and loving it more and more...) combined town and highway (according to the readout on the display) my average is 40.2. I'm serious, too.   I'm thinking (and this is based on keeping numbers from engines that I've rebuilt, mostly brit cars...I know it bears no relation to this technology, but, it's what I have to go on...) that as it breaks in (and I'm not doing anything special other than heeding the suggestions in the Owner's Manual) I'm going to return somewhere around 5% better mileage once all the parts have bedded in. That means a combined figure around 42-43 mpg I guestimating. Hey, 40 combined is nothing to sneeze at if I don't get the extra 2 or 3 mpg on full break in, right?   Taking a trip to Fredericksburg VA this weekend from the northern Philly area. That will give it a good chance to come up to full stable temps (my commute is only a half hour) and a long interstate cruise.   And the heated seats are nice. I think VW, just based on my experiences so far, has a winner here. It's a shame more folks hold their nose at the mention of 'Diesel'. This car is quieter than my SO's Pontiac G6 at idle, smoother at idle than my 98 seville (you have to look at the tach to see if it's running...I'm serious...), and is torquey enough to squirt yourself onto the superslab from the entrance ramp.   If you haven't test driven one, go for it. No financial interest, etc. Just a happy camper (so far...).   BB
