#339 of 831 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.

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

#344 of 831 VW TDI Current Offers? by redvw Dec 27, 2008 (7:32 am)
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? Replies to this message: morey000 (Dec 30, 2008 2:32 pm)
#345 of 831 Re: VW TDI Current Offers? [redvw] by morey000 Dec 30, 2008 (2:32 pm)
Replying to: redvw (Dec 27, 2008 7:32 am) 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.
#346 of 831 Destination Charges by redvw Dec 31, 2008 (8:22 pm)
A local VW dealer stated in that in addition to a $650 destination charge that VW charges dealers other fees such as advertising and other fees totaling $1000 per vehicle. This local dealer stated that these fees are passed on to customers. I was shown an invoice, and the fees did add up to $1000.

Replying to: redvw (Dec 31, 2008 8:22 pm) Wow...just wow...tell them you're not paying it. Advertising is NOT passed onto customers. If they are one of those dealers who go out of business then they deserve it. Did they tell you to pay the janitor's salary too? Replies to this message: mdl3r1 (Dec 31, 2008 10:35 pm)
#348 of 831 Re: Destination Charges [chittychittybb] by mdl3r1 Dec 31, 2008 (10:35 pm)
Replying to: chittychittybb (Dec 31, 2008 9:39 pm) I agree. They'' try to tell you how they have to pass on all kinds of stuff...and it'll work, unless you KNOW it ain't so and they see that you know. I paid below invoice, and it did not have anything added but the destination charge. Unless you let them know that you are certain of the price of the vehicle and no extra fees, they will sing any tune saying those costs have to be so. No way. I recommend looking up the invoice price on edmunds.com and then also read up on tricks and "confessions of a car salesman", also on here. One part explains what fees you pay...and which are not legit. In the end, I paid just below 1,000 below invoice...a true invoice. As the other person posted, they have them on the lot, and they way things are, and nso few buying and so many panicking, do your homework, be sure of what you know, shop more than one dealer against another, and see who gives you best internet price, then push them a couple times more and you're sure to get a good deal. Just be firm but courteous the whole time...we're only out to get a fair deal and not get overcharged...at the end of the deal, they are still people like us with families and need to make a living...and always be nice.
