Replying to: raezmom3 (Dec 06, 2007 5:00 am) Once you have that information you can compare you overseas deal. Since you are picking up the car in the US, I assume AAFES will arrange for the CA TTL. I understand that CA is an expensive state to purchase a car. If you already signed a contract and put down money, it may be too late! Good Luck! |

I test drove the TX EB today at the local dealer, and both my wife and I decided to pull the trigger on the deal. I picked this dealer because they a low-volume "town" dealer, so they are more laid back compared to the highway dealership. The salesperson was an older gentleman who was very relaxed and friendly. He let my wife and I take the car for a test drive on our own, so we were able to give it a nice, long extended test drive. The ones they had in stock were all loaded up with options we didn't want, so we ended up doing a factory order. I get X-Plan pricing, so that's the price I got. Plus, I get any rebates/incentives that are in effect at the time of delivery. The other benefit of factory ordering was that new orders come with Sync (unlike the ones on the lot which were "Job 1" orders). The deal: 2008 TX Eddie Bauer AWD Merlot with Gold Accent Reverse Sensing System Heated Seats MSRP: $32,490 Invoice: $30,388 X-Plan: $30,342 - rebates/incentives at time of delivery Also, with X-Plan dealers are allowed to charge up to a $60 doc fee, so the total deal is $30,402 - rebates + TTL

Why do you ask? I am just trying to make people aware of this traps.

Replying to: passat_2002 (Dec 10, 2007 4:07 pm) Let's be clear, we are not talking about the standard TTL fees charged by counties and states, in most cases these are set by law. (Dealers will try to hide them in this part of your contract) There is little doubt that the fees we are talking about are just fees created by the dealerships to pad their profits. Without a doubt, the "Doc Fee" is the most common, I have seen reports of as little as $50 to as much as $500. There are many others under different names (Port Fee, Prep Fee, Etc.....) Buyer Beware! |
