Replying to: pengwin (Nov 18, 2008 5:38 pm) Question- If the vehicle is leased by a local bank, who gets the credit? The user is the person who leases vehicle and should not be the bank.   Or is the credit lost? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 20, 2008 8:46 am)

#332 of 831 Manuals are always more reliable by ksmigel Nov 22, 2008 (10:34 pm)
Any modern manual transmission should last at least 80k-100k miles before any new parts, mainly the clutch, need to be replaced. There are fewer parts, which means there are fewer things to go wrong, versus an automatic transmission.   Automatic transmissions are among the most problematic components of any vehicle, regardless of the origin. Both Honda and Toyota had massive recalls on two of their best selling cars because of problems with their automatic transmissions.   If you know how to drive a manual properly, and change your gear oil appropriately (I use redline), you should easily be able to go 100,000+ miles with no other maintenance or repair costs with a manual.   Cheers   Don

Replying to: redvw (Nov 20, 2008 6:33 am) the loyal has the sunroof and automatic transmission included for a total msrp of 24190. i think it also includes the ipod thing but im not sure because i dont use that feature. Anyway on a regular tdi to add the sunroof alone is $1,000 so it's a good deal.

Replying to: chebella82 (Nov 19, 2008 10:43 pm) Sounds like not a bad deal chebella. I been looking at a similar MSRP tdi (not loyal edition) of about 24,567...and am ending up at ~22800 before tag taxes etc. which is ~ 533 below invoice..., so indeed, like edmunds.com teaches, deal up from invoice and not from MSRP down. This is my first time in these forums and have been reading for a couple hours, so i have couple questions. 1) what was your invoice, chebella for your deal; did you find it out? 2) i read earlier that somoene said to offer 1K below invoice? I know they got holdback (3%, which they usually dont like to touch, per edmunds) and other mfg to dealer incentives, credits, etc, but am i leaving money on the table based on what i put in here? Tdi's being what they are, one can still get a good, fair deal...but 1K below may be too much to expect? Thanks in advance y'all, md Replies to this message: chebella82 (Dec 10, 2008 7:06 am) mdl3r1 (Dec 10, 2008 7:16 am)

Replying to: pengwin (Nov 18, 2008 5:38 pm) the tax credit is for the first 60,000 sold, after that its 1/2 the value.   So...how can one know if we're still within those 60,000 and can get the full credit??

Replying to: mdl3r1 (Dec 09, 2008 12:28 am) It will be 2-3 years before VW reaches 60,000 with current car sales in the dumpster. I would guess they have sold less than 10,000 TDIs this year. The tax credit does not get cut in half until the quarter following the 60,000 sales point. You got plenty of time left.   PS  I think you got a great deal. Anything under invoice, I like it.

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 09, 2008 8:41 am) Does the above mentioned tax credit phase out for people who earn above a certain income, or who are subject to the alternative minimum tax? Replies to this message: gagrice (Dec 09, 2008 4:36 pm)

Replying to: redvw (Dec 09, 2008 10:13 am) Unless they have changed the law, you DO NOT get any tax credits when you pay AMT. That was my situation last year. I understand they have made some changes to the tax code as each year more people get caught by that unfair tax.
