What specifc 2008 model? A gas guzzling SUV, you should be able to pretty much steal. A Toyota Prius, and you'll pay MSRP plus. Please be more specific.

One thing to think about the Wagon is that they are going to be very changed for 2009. I don't remember the exact changes, but if you look at the "other" VW forum (not allowed to post the name), there are a few threads about the changes.
 
Not sure how much of a discount, but it should be a considerable one. I bought my Passat Wagon 4Motion in September of 06 and I paid invoice. At the end of a model year, with the car kind of going away? You should do much better than that.
 
Good luck and let us know how you make out. Great car, hope you love it as much as I love mine.

Blank Check Loans? by jerome8283

Are there any disadvantages to the Blank Check Auto Loan process offered by some banks? I'm considering using this process and it states doing so makes the buying experience easier? Will dealerships have issues with this?

I used HSBC to purchase a Honda CR-V for my daughter in April of 2005. The dealer first said that he couldn't accept it. I pointed out that it was a legimate check and stated so in the paperwork I had. He then accepted it without another word. I guess he was upset that I would not use his financing (which was at a higher rate than HSBC).
 
HSBC was easy to deal with. Approved in a matter of minutes and received the blank check the next day.

I'd have it checked out be a good mechanic, to verify that it really is in "Great" condition. One transmission or engine problem, can set you back another couple grand.....or make your 2500 purchase worthless.
