2009 Jetta TDI Sedan Price Proposal by jdeluca81
Jul 27, 2009 (9:57 am)

Hello All,
 
I'm preparing to return my leased 2006 VW Passat in the coming weeks and would like to negotiate on a VW Jetta TDI.
 
I've priced one out on the site for $27,339 including the following options:
  • Automatic Transmission
    Chrome Mirror Caps and Rear Accent Strip
    Power Sunroof and Air Deflector
    DVD Navigation
    Rear Side Airbags
    Mat Kit
    Trunk Liner

  •  
    I am planning to start negotiations 24,605 (90% of list). Thoughts and experiences? What should I expect to pay?
     
    Thanks for any feedback.

    you have zero chance at getting a jetta tdi at $1,500 below invoice.
    perhaps ask yourself why a dealership would want that deal.

    I think it's well understood that $1,500 below invoice is a stretch.
     
    If I can score half of that, I'd be satisfied. I would say that its realistic given the current economic climate to expect a below invoice purchase. Wouldn't you?

    You may get a good price on the Jetta Sedan TDI. I know there are about 50 available here at San Diego dealers. If you are looking at the Sportwagen, I doubt you get down to invoice. Your best bet is trading in an old clunker if you have one..

    I hear you. I know they're doing that $500 cash rebate for clunkers, but I don't have one to trade.
     
    Was hoping to learn of additional dealer holdbacks that could get me to the negotiating table around or even below invoice.
     
    Here in Atlanta there's over 150 Jettas in stock at the Top 3 VW Dealers and I'd be willing to hike out to an additional 2 if they were pricing competitively.

    absolutely not. the shortest deal that i would take is about $300 over invoice when i have inventory which i do not have now.
    there is no earthly reason why a dealer would take below invoice on a tdi.

    You really know how to reinforce a stereotype!

    if it is a bad stereotype to expact to make 3% profit on a viable item then i plead guilty.

    It's a lot easier to make said profits if you're eloquent and respectful in your educated response.
     
    I got what I needed regardless, but the experience sucked. Kind of like buying a car!
     
    Thanks.

    If you only make 3% on an invoice sale, something is wrong. The last vehicle I bought was exactly $10,000 under MSRP and a bit more than $5000 under Invoice. I suspect the Toyota dealer still made something. That was in October 2007 on a loaded Sequoia Limited 4X4. In 2005 I bought a new Passat TDI Wagon in Portland OR for $1500 under Invoice. That was a great buy as I sold it 13 months later and made $3000 in CA. It was never licensed in CA so no killer sales tax was added. If there are 150 Jetta TDI's on dealers lots it is a buyers market. Though I am sure the C4C program will suck those up pretty darn fast.
