#309 of 815 Re: Recent prices paid [repoman1] by 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
#310 of 815 Jetta TDI Sportwagon, Bay Area pricing? by johnrbrooks Nov 06, 2008 (1:37 pm)
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area looking for an 09 Jetta TDI Sportwagon, 6 spd auto/Tip, lazer blue or red salsa, anthracite leatherette, 17" wheels, body molding/accents, sunroof, nav, IPod. I'm getting the same feedback regarding scarcity and up to $5k over MSRP. Intuitively that just sticks in my craw considering the state of the car market, regardless of how popular these cars are. Have not tried internet. Thoughts? Also what is the "Loyalty" edition, and does the TDI Sportwagon have steering wheel controls or not. VW brochure seems to say yes, internet no, and I read here that someone bought one w controls. I'm getting conflicting info.

Replying to: johnrbrooks (Nov 06, 2008 1:37 pm) The Jetta TDI Sportwagen we bought Oct. 28th does not have steering wheel controls, but who needs them. You can reach everything without leaning forward. Great layout of all controls. Replies to this message: gagrice (Nov 08, 2008 7:43 pm)

Replying to: rtmtele (Nov 08, 2008 7:25 pm) I agree. I have them on my Sequoia steering wheel, and still reach for the volume on the dash. Just something else to go bad with age.

Replying to: jlenn (Nov 07, 2008 8:50 am) I don't think at this time you will be able to get a TDI at invoice or close to invoice. Plus the mark up from invoice to MSRP is only around $1,100. Paying over MSRP in any US market is wrong. MSRP on a TDi right now is the market. You can wait for the TDI market to soften. Keep in mind there is a allocation supply problem to supply the local dealerships across the country with TDI's. You might have to wait for some time. There is a dealership in SO Cal with a good stock of around 20 some TDI's, but no TDI sportwagens - sorry. Enjoy your new TDI!

Replying to: johnrbrooks (Nov 06, 2008 1:37 pm) Was just at the local VW dealer here and the salesman was negotiating off of MSRP on the lot. So I have no doubt that I could have taken one of their in stock units for less than MSRP without much work. But - in stock units were sedans with automatics. No sportwagons yet and the MT were already gone.
#317 of 815 TDI surplus by pengwin Nov 11, 2008 (11:10 am)
there seems to be a surplus of TDI's in my area now. I'm located out side of St. Louis and i checked the dealer websites and they each have 4-10 TDI's in stock.   looks like its the right time to buy Replies to this message: xiane (Nov 11, 2008 5:38 pm) jayrider (Nov 13, 2008 2:43 pm) ezshift5 (Nov 14, 2008 2:26 am) pengwin (Nov 18, 2008 5:38 pm) hlcastelo (Nov 20, 2008 5:08 am) and 1 more... mdl3r1 (Dec 09, 2008 12:28 am) and 5 more...
#318 of 815 Re: TDI Sportwagen Pricing by xiane Nov 11, 2008 (5:38 pm)
Replying to: pengwin (Nov 11, 2008 11:10 am) There's one TDI Sportwagen at a local TX dealership that just happens to be exactly the specs I want. They want MSRP for it. This strikes me as about right given the demand for TDI Sportwagens.   Any thoughts on this?
