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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

VW TDI Current Offers? by redvw

VW's Current offers expire on Jan. 2, 2009. Will it be likely that a new sales incentive will be offered which includes the TDI?

Car companies typically set current offers to expire in the near future to create that sense of urgency. While anything is possible, I'd say the the likelihood of additional sales incentives for the coming year, given the state of the economy, is very high.
 
as long as the economy is slow and oil prices are low, you'll be sure to get a good deal on an oil burning jetta. Our local dealer has many sitting on the lot.
