Replying to: wai (Aug 25, 2005 9:57 am) 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. |

Just sold my Murano, now I really need to find a TDI. Anybody know where a cache of these are located?

Can anyone give me a name of a dealership that is dealing from the MSRP $ on a 2006 Jetta TDI? I am in the Orlando, Florida area but will travel!

| As an additional post I plan on ordering the 2006 Jetta TDI to get what I want, not expecting to find one. Since upsurge of interest in TDI the last couple weeks the dealerships appear not willing to deal on a TDI which is why I am asking where anyone is finding a dealership willing to negotiate. | |
Nothing against any TDI model, but this hysteria will quickly pass, and a reasonable price can be found. Gas in my Washington DC suburb went down 10 CENTS per gallon in ONE DAY today. Sub $2.00 gas may be history, but it is no reason to allow yourself to be abused over a marginal Mexican built car with an above average powerplant. Top dollar for a German built Passat with the TDI seems more reasonable, until you drive the new BMW 325, which I picked up for only 31K. The 30 mpg hwy of the 325 is a small price to pay for the infinitely better performance and better dealer treatment/loaner car/4 year 50K warranty including ALL parts other than tires and glass(brake pads,rotors,wiper blades,oil changes,etc)

Replying to: smwls8 (Sep 07, 2005 2:35 pm) Here in Dallas we have dealerships asking upwards of $20K for a used 2003 Jetta GLS TDI with 50,000 miles !! The minute I find a used TDI at a reasonable price it is gone. They are selling like hot cakes. One dealer here had people calling him from out of state. The inventories of new TDI's are next to none. The dealerships are taking deposits on incoming shipments but Im almost afraid to ask the price. |
