We purchased a 2009 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI from a Garden Grove, CA dealer on Oct. 28th for MSRP. They were asking $2000 over MSRP, but we refused to pay it and they sold it to us for MSRP. It was the only Sportwagen TDI they had.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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?

We've put about 1800 miles on ours, no issues whatsoever. in our current tank of fuel we could reach the 800 mile mark but we're being gentle on the accelerator. gentle in this car is keeping up with the flow of traffic. well worth it, yes ours is the 6 speed manual learn it right don't try to be creative unless you don't mind replacing the clutch and or ruining your tranny.

Hello Pengwin ,
Just left St. Clair Square. The fact that there is a decent supply of TDI's is offset to an extent by the fact that the people who desire these cars actually have the income and credit score to buy them. The dealers know this from experience in putting together deals. They are prepared to wait you out because msrp deals are generally acceptable to this group of shoppers. They really really want one. The deals will get better only if this group has an attitude adjustment. No disrespect to all you TDI junkies. The car has lots of appeal but not financially. Of course, few vehicles have both. Enjoy !

...the 50 mpg potential makes a JSW 6M a likely candidate to stand in for my venerated '82 VW diesel pickup......
That being said, credit score/attitude permit waiting on the left coast also,,,,,,,,,,
Plus the $1300 tax credit is supposed to last until the end of 2010......
best, ez....
