#334 of 811 Re: price paid jetta tdi loyal [chebella82] by mdl3r1 Dec 08, 2008 (11:51 pm)
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.
#339 of 811 Re: TDI surplus [gagrice] and GREAT DEAL on TDI! by mdl3r1 Dec 09, 2008 (6:55 pm)
Replying to: gagrice (Dec 09, 2008 8:41 am) Thanks for the response on the tax credit, gagrice. Nice to know I'll get the full 1,300 credit and the overall picture #.   And, speaking of #'s, I think I bagged a great deal! In addition to the deal I outlined below, 533 under invoice, I went to see a truly nice sales guy I met at first big VW dealer I visited, and to test drive the manual. They, as usual ask "what will it take to make a deal?" Well, since I was not going to buy from them, I asked for "what kind of deal would make me not be able to walk away?", so I asked for a model with sunroof at no charge. That would mean, $1,000 higher MSRP, for nothing more! To make a long story short, they gave it to me for $250 more, PLUS free splash guards put on...and they tint windows themselves free!   #'s? MSRP 24,939. Sales price: 22,750. Yes, that's ~2200 below MSRP!   Time to buy, y'all...if you do your research and stay nice no matter what. I pick her up tomorrow. Deal is in writing. I did get to deal with 2 awesome people there that will get a nice letter from me...   Is this a good deal? Replies to this message: gagrice (Dec 10, 2008 5:11 am)

Replying to: mdl3r1 (Dec 09, 2008 6:55 pm) You are hitting the market at a great time. Car sales are way off and diesel prices are much higher than gas. That is the time to buy. Americans usually buy when the market is not in their favor. Hope you love the car.
#341 of 811 Re: price paid jetta tdi loyal [mdl3r1] by chebella82 Dec 10, 2008 (7:06 am)
Replying to: mdl3r1 (Dec 08, 2008 11:51 pm) mdl3r1- sounds like you got a great deal! i remember that my price was below the invoice, but i dont remember what invoice was unfortunately. i do know that i got about 1100 off msrp (plus the free window tint). ive already put 3k miles on my jetta and im loving it!! im sure you will love yours too, those heated seats are awesome in this cool weather oh, what state are you in by the way?

Replying to: chebella82 (Dec 10, 2008 7:06 am) Gagrice: The market is as you observe, and would the best time to buy. Thanks. And you're also right in that we often buy when others are, and not buy when other's aren't. But, when people aren't buying, that's when buyer is more precious to those sellers!   chebella - i will try those heated seats wen it gets "cold", like in the...50's? LOL I'm in Florida, so "cold" is relative...but we do have some days in the 30's then back to 60-80's...but I'm sure I'll drive this baby up north sometime...Glad you're enjoying your TDI...I'm looking forward to finding out what everyone raves about on here first hand
