#67 of 280 2k marketing support on Passat? by beachdriver Apr 12, 2005 (8:57 pm)
Want to buy an 05 Passat GL Wagon TDI. (Got my new Suburban in Nov. 04..just in time for the oil spike). Anyway, Ourisman in Laurel, MD quoted an internet price of $917 below MSRP. King VW in Gaithersburg, MD quoted $22,570 on a vehicle with ESP, ($2685 below MSRP and $603 below invoice) Just as I thought I found the impossible deal, I noticed on Edmunds that there is a current promotion of $2,000 "marketing support" for the dealer, in lieu of low APR financing, (thru 5/2). If that's the case, the dealer is still holding about $1400 on the car. Is this correct??? Is anyone getting a base model like this for well below invoice? BTW, a nice german sounding salesman from another dealer tells me that not only is the Passat being totally redesigned for 06, but the TDI will not be available for the first model year or more, since VW can't get them into CA and 3 other states. Anyone else heard this? I'll still happily buy gas for my 'burb while towing the boat and driving on the beach, but this car makes a hell of a lot of sense for all of my other driving, (and still can fit in spouse, two large teens and two labs!) Mechanic tells me the engine,if maintained is good for 300-400k. Is that possible? Will the rest of the car still be there? I have little familiarity with the vehicle so all input will be greatly appreciated!!!
#69 of 280 Re: Bad Experience at Reydel Volkswagon Edison, NJ [win] by kodiak69 Apr 13, 2005 (11:51 am)
Replying to: win (Nov 17, 2004 6:06 am) Please tell the truth. Reydel Volkswagen went and brought a car in for you to take home. You received your financing from a third party source and after 3 weeks found the information on your credit app was not accurate. Your financing company required you to return the Passat TDI or put more money down. Reydel Volkswagen worked very hard to arrange for you to at lease still get a Jetta TDI and not have to put any money down.    The problem was not with Reydel Volkswagen, they picked you up at the train free of charge, filled the vehicle with fuel and did go out and bring the car for you. You reached out to them from PA, about 60 miles away. Sounds like they did all they could and then some.
#70 of 280 2005 Jetta Station Wagon 1.9 TDI, 5spd - Dealer Price by cisa Apr 21, 2005 (8:10 pm)
Hi,   This is my first message posted on the forum. I am living in Canada. I own a 2003 Jetta 2.0l and I am very pleased with it, but we need a second car (for my wife) .We decide to go for a 2005 Jetta Station Wagon 1.9 TDI, 5spd, with ESP and side curtains - without any other packages.  I went to the dealer and I get a rough quotation around: Total MSRP of 28,430.0$ But with: - Admin.Fee65$ - Freight 595$ - PDI 485$ - Air conditioning Tax 100$ It came around 29,675.0$   - My first question to you guy, before I go any further with the negotiations, is if you can tell me how much I can negotiate the price? We would like to negotiate somewhere to 26,000.0- 26,600.0$ CAD. Is this possible? Now with the new 06 Jetta arrived to the dealers can we get any advantage of this?   -We decide to go for this new car. Wouldn’t it be a better idea to buy a TDI with low km instead of a PD engine? Is it the same reliable as the old TDI was?   I would really appreciate if you guys can help us to make the right decisions.   Thank you Replies to this message: mbadjura (Apr 24, 2006 12:54 pm)
#71 of 280 jetta TDI by avenger1 Apr 22, 2005 (8:39 am)
Configure what you want on VW.com...don't pay more than that. Most dealers are giving out discounts for old jetta TDI's (a dealer in OR has them at $19.5K - for wagons no less!).   Look at edmunds for invoice price, and start going down from there. If you live in a state where diesel is legal (not CALIF for example), there's no need for any dealer markup or MSRP on an outgoing model (new MKV TDI's are just shipping now).   Some dealers will disagree with the above, but what will you expect. You should have seen the dealer reaction (on another forum) when another dealer in OR had offered 3K off MSRP on the NEW jetta models (most were hoping to tack on 3K on TOP of the MSRP).

#72 of 280 Running out of Golfs? by sidsub Apr 25, 2005 (4:40 pm)
I've been shopping for a Golf TDI with a stick shift over the last couple of days and have found that the VW dealers in Texas are fast selling out of them. I did some inventory searches on my own at nearby dealers and found that almost no one has more than one or two of them. According to the salesguy I've been working with, they're not expecting any more until the 2006's next spring anyway. Is this what you guys have heard too? Are there really not going to be any Golf TDI's for the next year?
#73 of 280 Price advice by tomsawyer May 01, 2005 (8:14 am)
I have put a deposit on an '05 Passat TDI GLS w/ Leather & Wood Package. Car cost me $26,057 inc. destination and the dealer threw in a set of rubber mats. As a side note, the dealer does not have the car so they have to locate one because they do not have the one optioned with leather. This price is before NJ tax and MV Fees. Is $26,057 a good price for the car?    Thanks to all who answer.    P.S. Looks like the combo I want (ext. color, int color and options) is hard to find because I went to VW.com and there are only a couple in PA optioned the way I want the car.

#74 of 280 Just picked up an '05 TDI Passat - dealer has good selection by sahara111 May 01, 2005 (9:22 am)
Just got our new silver, automatic GLS last night. It is the medium gray leatherette inside, and has the ESP and cold wx package (seats, wiper sprayers). It had the floor mats already in it. I had the dealer throw in the VW 17" wheels/tires and a "Gorilla" rear floor mat system (keeps groceries in place); those 2 items are sticker about $500.   Paid $24302 total out the door; this was the invoice base of 23485 (Pac NW region) plus shipping and a couple minor fees. So, we paid just "invoice". Also got the 2.9% VW loan for 66 months, plus put $3000 of the total on the VW credit card at 0% intro APR for 6 months; also put some cash down.   The dealer has a good selection of TDI sedans and wagons, with or without the $1500 leather package. Robert Larson Autohaus in Tacoma, WA.   What do you think?
#75 of 280 Re: Price advice [tomsawyer] by wai May 03, 2005 (7:33 am)
Replying to: tomsawyer (May 01, 2005 8:14 am) I think its better to deal directly with those dealers who have the stock in hand to get a better deal and also you can have a better look at the car before making any committment. I have travelled 55 miles from my home in Delaware to the dealer in North Penn, PA to buy my Jetta (GLI) recently. But make sure the dealer chop and dated on the delivery inspection section of the service/ maintance booklet of the owner's manual before you take delivery of the car.
#76 of 280 Just Bought a 2005 Jetta GLS TDI by bradfa May 07, 2005 (5:43 pm)
I just this morning bought a 2005 (A4 body style) Jetta GLS TDI manual transmission in New Hampshire. Only things I got over the base GLS package were the mud flaps and a sunroof wind breaking device (no idea what it is officially called, didn't really need it but my mom said they are useful with sunroof). Paid $19949 including destination. Title and legal fees were extra, but those only amounted to about $175. Got the 3.9% for 60 months on the new college grad program, so I don't have to pay my first payment (VW credit waives it, which was cool).   I had originally delt with a different dealer via the web and phone and got a very good price on almost the same car, so using that as leverage I feel I got a good deal. This other dealer had gotten me last months 2.9% financing for 5 years, but it is an hour drive from my house and the monthly payments worked out the same in the end. Dealer I bought from is only 10 minutes away.   I showed up at the dealership at 8:20am, just as they opened, but I was out the door with all paperwork signed by noon and took 2 test drives in that time too (one to home to show family and neighbors). I got the dark grey color, which I like more than the silver that the other dealer I spoke of had.   Overall, the least hastle I have had from any dealership I delt with in my car buying extravaganza. This was at Miller VW in Lebanon, NH. The sales person that helped me was awesome as far as car sales people go, very laid back and willing to do what was needed to not let me walk out the door and go to the other dealership. Even the sales manager was friendly and trying to make the deal. I even met the owner of the dealership (he told me he usually doesn't authorize deals like I got, but whatever). Everyone was great, definitely turned my thoughts of car dealers around, there are some decent ones out there, just come prepared.   I pick the car up on Monday, just have to get one more piece of info from my employer to finish off the loan stuff and to get insurance monday morning. Other than that, I should have the thing registered and inspected by monday evening   PS: I really liked the way the Jetta TDI shifted, much smoother than other VW cars I have driven lately (no idea why though).
