#544 of 831 Finally Got My '09 Jetta Sedan TDI by zambaq Jun 21, 2009 (3:27 pm)
Yesterday I was finally able to travel to Langhorne, PA to take possession of the car I agreed to buy 3 weeks ago, and I really enjoyed the drive back to NYC! Details:   Color: Blue Graphite/Art Gray Options: DSG; Lip Spoiler; Mud Flaps Cash Price: $21,708 Experience: Smooth and hassle-free, both via internet and in-person Initial Mileage: 38.8 mpg Post-Purchase Anxiety: That all the high-tech computerized/electronic gadgetry packed into it will go haywire as soon as the warranties expire!   I felt a slight twinge over not waiting for the more attractive (to me)2010 Golf TDI, but figured I'd have to wait until this time next year for the price to go below invoice, and I'd lose out on the sales tax deduction. I'd also thought of waiting until the "Cash for Clunkers" law went into effect, but I checked and discovered that my '95 Honda Odyssey was rated at 20 mpg and wouldn't qualify. C'est la vie!

Replying to: vwgreg (Jun 22, 2009 5:38 am) Well I decided I'm going to get the sedan. I just like the looks of it better and Fritz seems to be at least $1000 below invoice if not more on them. All Im waiting for is cash for clunkers to start.

Replying to: jahtdi (May 01, 2009 12:03 pm) Congrats. Which dealer did you get it from? I've been looking for something similar. So far, best offer on first round is right around invoice.

Replying to: mam567 (Jun 18, 2009 3:03 pm) Customs clearance does not take more than a day or two. Tdi Wagons come from Mexico by vessel, clear customs in Galveston and then on, via rail or car transporter to the final dealer. $ 500 over invoice is about an average - I got mine for invoice and told them to take the 17" wheels off. 16" wheels are fine, actually the car looks better with 16" wheels. Mine is pearl white with moonroof. I have added trailer hitch, hard wired Garmin GPS, added extra cig. power outlet between front seats. First thing was to tint windows (not sure why they don't come with tinted glass here in the South (FL). I am into 6 months (7500 miles) ownership. Dash board A/C outlet is an overkill - I just purchased a tray that will replace it. Here in FL, when A/C runs, the dash board A/C outlet fogs out front windshield from outside as it cools glass too much. You have to run half heat and A/C at the same time to eliminate this problem. Moon roof is nice but a bit too large because even with textile mesh closed the sun generates too much heat inside the car. I suggest a sun shield between moon roof and textile mesh in summer months. I cut a card board 29" x 47" covered with aluminum cooking foil and solved the problem. Replies to this message: mam567 (Jun 23, 2009 10:54 am) mike91326 (Jun 23, 2009 12:56 pm)
#551 of 831 Wishing for a TDI Sportwagon by joeyjoejoe Jun 22, 2009 (8:13 pm)
I purchased a cargo van a few weeks ago dirt cheap and thought as a side note maybe it could be used for the cash for clunkers deal. Now I see that it has been passed, but requires the annual ownership, registration, and insuring of the trade-in vehicle to qualify. I was just doing the numbers in my head of that $4,500 credit, my normal vehicle trade-in for around $5,000, and then the current $1,300 diesel tax credit. That would be one solid deal. Especially if you were to get a TDI for the $18 and change described a couple posts above. Good luck!

Replying to: vwgreg (Jun 18, 2009 11:08 am) Sounds just like what a dealer would say:) Sorry Sparky, but dealers in my area (50 mile radius) have them on the lot. Replies to this message: vwgreg (Jun 23, 2009 8:27 am)
