#83 of 262 Price Paid: 2005 Passat TDI Wagon by dieselfan Jun 12, 2005 (4:33 pm)
After finally settling on a Passat TDI Wagon, we went to find one. Had I not really wanted that particular model, I would have given up. While I was in the looking stage, several local dealerships promised me that they could get that car in a day or so. When it came time to buy one, it was a different story. I finally went on VW.com and searched online dealer inventories and found one myself. It was 250 miles away. I did the negotiating via phone and fax and made the offer on the vehicle. Taking into account the manufacturer-to-dealer regional marketing incentive, as well as the actual dealer price from consumer reports, I offered $25300. After some minor adjustments, we agreed on a total price before tax of $25650. I purchased the vehicle sight unseen and without a test drive, a testament to my confidence in VW. When I took delivery, I found out that the sales manager had misunderstood the salesman when he had presented my offer. The sales manager had thought he was approving an offer on a Passat TDI Sedan, not a wagon. To the dealership's credit, he did not try to bump me or reneg on the agreement. All told, I purchased the vehicle for $450 less than the sticker price, including tax, title, etc. (MSRP was $27675)   By the way, anyone looking to buy a car should read Don't Get Taken Every Time by Remar Sutton. The book will open your eyes and save you thousands of dollars.   The vehicle is great and is the best purchase I have ever made. Replies to this message: dieselfan (Jun 12, 2005 4:36 pm)

Replying to: dieselfan (Jun 12, 2005 4:33 pm) I neglected to mention the specifics of the vehicle. It is a Passat GLS TDI Wagon with optional 17" wheels.
#85 of 262 How much? 2005 Jetta Wagon GLS TDI - 3000 miles by bamundson Jun 17, 2005 (7:02 pm)
Hi all.    I'm selling a 2005 Jetta Wagon GLS TDI with 3,000 miles and was wondering what I should ask for it. It's got an automatic transmission, leather heated seats, sliding sunroof, cassette/CD stereo and is a beauty. I'm selling it for my sister in law who bought it and thought she was going ship it to Hawaii - but found out she needs a 4WD in the area where she will be living, and leather doesn't really stand a chance in Hawaii anyway (due to humidity).    I have the paperwork here and the total price with leather options is $24,720, although I know she paid less..    I understand these Diesel cars are not being sold by the dealerships here in CA due to regulatory issues with diesel, but it's not a problem for a me to sell it privately. Plus it can run on biodiesel, which is kind of a plus around here in Berkeley CA.    What can I reasonably ask for it here in the Bay Area - California? I can't find a quote on a 2005 GLS TDI Wagon through Kelly Blue Book as it's too new..    Any help on pricing this would be much appreciated.    thanks    barry Replies to this message: gagrice (Jun 17, 2005 9:04 pm)

Replying to: bamundson (Jun 17, 2005 7:02 pm) It cannot be licensed in CA till it has 7500 miles. I would think she should get close to what she paid for it in CA. Or there is a dealer McNevin Motor car Co. In El Cerrito specializes in VW TDI cars. He has a 2004 like yours for $24,900 in the Trader. They may be interested in it at a slight markdown.

A reporter would like to interview diesel passenger car and pick-up owners and Southern California residents who'd like to buy a diesel passenger car but can't because new ones aren't sold in California. Please respond to jfallonedmunds.com by Thursday, July 14, 2005 with your daytime contact info, vehicle year/make/model and city/state of residence, and put the word “diesel” in the subject line.

#90 of 262 Passat GLS TDI sedan purchase price by wnichols Jul 17, 2005 (12:36 pm)
I'm looking at a new 2005 Passat, only option is leather with wood, which I don't really need. But it's the color we like and it's available (getting hard to find).   Edmund's TMV is $27,340. This is only $525 less than MSRP and still $1835 over invoice. Isn't it possible to do better (esp. with the manufacturer to dealer cash of $500 out there now)?   Would we be able to get a better discount on the wagon vs. the sedan since they are more prevalent at this dealer?

Replying to: wnichols (Jul 17, 2005 12:36 pm) I love my 2005 Passat TDI wagon. I paid under invoice in Portland Oregon. No TDIs in CA. I got the leather/wood, ESP and 17" wheels. Great little car. You can get an email price from Armstrong VW in Gladstone Oregon and tell your dealer to match or you are taking a vacation to get your new car. I paid $26,589 cash out the door. If I was a previous VW owner it would have been $500 less.
