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.

Sounds good to me. I think buying the last of a model year is safer than the first. They have the bugs worked out.

I've been shopping for a 2005 Passat GLS TDI wagon, and I've found a number of dealers willing to part with one for a price at or close to invoice. My suggestion: go to the VW web page & search dealers w/in 250 miles of your zip code. Search through the inventory of every dealer, and ask for price quotes on the cars that meet your specs. You'll get back a range of prices, some of them at dealer cost. Then, use the numbers to negotiate with the dealers closest to you. It worked for me. I'm paying $25,286 (plus tax & DMV fees) for the car with leatherette. I found a few cars with the leather, but I couldn't justify the extra $ (not to mention the life of the beast). But you need to act quickly. I got quotes back on cars that were gone within days, and many dealers have none in stock at all. By the way, if you get an email back asking you to come in for a test drive, respond by asking for a price; they want to get you in there, but they'll give up a price if that's the only way to keep your attention.
 
I'm taking delivery later today, and I'm psyched!

For comparison, I just got:
 
2005 Passat GLS TDI sedan
Silverstone gray
no listed options. it did come with the heated seats & mirrors and nice floor mats. Standard leatherette seats.
 
There were about 5 left on the lot, and no more coming in, and no 2006 TDI models on the horizon.
 
I spent $23,677 (not eligible for owner loyalty). Pitcairn VW, Langhorne, PA
Tags came to another $145, and then PA sales tax. To get it the leather option, it would have cost another $1,000-$1,500.
 
I think you should be able to shave $1,000 off the price you quoted.

TDI $1200 OVER MSRP by scrum

Pretty funny, huh? Down here in the wonderful panhandle of Florida a few dealerships are trying to sell me a TDI for $1200 over MSRP. They act like I am an idiot when I don't agree with them it is a great deal.
 
For a few people the idea of a diesel is to conserve fuel and help he environment. For the rest of us we are cheap SOB's that want to save $$$. So why pay about $3000 more for a diesel when it will take you 5 or more years to break even?
 
We don't really want the Jetta in any form, but we like the idea of saving some serious scratch over our Murano by getting a base TDI.

Seems there is a lot of demand for Diesel engines at your local area. Are they 2006 Jetta and the cars are at the lot ready for delivery? Seems there is not too much choice for Diesel engines.

Sitting on the lot. No more than 1 or 2 except for a rare instance. I'm getting the slimy hard sell tactics from a few dealers. They don't seem to understand that I don't have a problem waiting until supply picks up even when I tell them that.
 
I've scratch 2 dealerships off my list simply for their tactics.
 
I'm an engineer and my wife's a lawyer and they treat us like we're not smart enough to open a mailbox.
 
This will be my 3rd attempt at purchasing a Jetta. In 97 I attempted to buy a Jetta VR6. They tried to get me to pay MSRP and insulted me by saying I shouldn't be looking at a car I can't afford. I bought a loaded Maxima SE 5-sp instead which was a few thousand more. I did enjoy pulling into the VW dealership with my new ride.
 
Last year we looked to get a TDI Jetta, but the dealers wanted a premium price for them or were just clueless. We bought an Accord Coupe V6 6-speed stick instead.
 
I hope I don't insult anybody with this because I know many TDI owners are passionate about their cars, but a TDI Jetta really isn't a car to get excited about. It is $$$ based purchased. If the mileage wasn't so good nobody would be spending the same money on a 100 hp car when they could get a 150 hp car.
 
With our driving I could save $700 a year in gas and spend $100 more for oil with the TDI. So for $600 savings a year I am not going to pay $1000 to $2500 over MSRP.
