Replying to: review1000 (Mar 01, 2008 7:45 pm) So my final selling was based on 2 options: 1) $1900 down (basically to cover fees) and $256 a month for a 36 month lease at 12000 miles a year OR 2) $0 down and $314 a month for a 36 month least at 12000 miles a year I think i am going with the $314 a month. Yes this is for the komfort, with heated seats, i pod connection and i was able to get them to thrown in a cargo tray and the wall weather mats.... do you think thats a reasonable price? I hope so because i tried to get another dealership to beat this offer, and i couldnt....

Replying to: reducedpayment (Mar 15, 2008 8:41 pm) The destination fee is part of the price of the car.. It's on the sticker, and on their invoice... Trying to add it after the price has been negotiated is no different than trying to add an extra $1000 for the sunroof (that's on the sticker and invoice, too, right?). The only legitimate fees are: acquisition fees on leases... these go to the bank.. they can be rolled into the lease payment, though.. Government fees: Title, license, tire tax, etc.. Most dealers also add some sort of document fee.. ostensibly for doing the paperwork (like they could sell cars without doing the paperwork?). These are mostly BS, also, but I don't squawk much if it's under $100, and nothing else weird is showing up. CA restricts doc fees to $55, Ohio $250, NY $45 (I think)... GA and FL are famous for the $399-$699 doc fee.. Not sure how that got started.. Manual tranny would be great... The only way for me to get one anymore, is to buy a car my wife wouldn't drive, anyway...

Replying to: bjss (Mar 16, 2008 7:08 am) Thanks for your message. I think i am getting a great deal because all other dealers would not include any amenities.... This is my first lease, so regarding the GAP insurance that is a great question and I will be sure to bring it up when i go to pick up the car. As for the cap cost, i beleive it was around $23000, basically the selling was $28600 (approx) and then VW is having some great rebates, PLUS you negotiate.... I was taken into a private room to discuss the deal as they did not want anyone else to hear the offer i was getting.... As for the Money factor, what do you mean? Are you asking whether I would be putting any money down? A few recommendations, sales people can and usually are scum, they will lie through their teeth if they have too, BUT you can do the same. The dealership where I am finally getting my car, the guy is very nice and I told him the other dealership started playing with numbers too much and I didnt like it, so i tried him and I told him the "price the other dealership gave me" which was the price i really wanted to pay, and he accepted and i requested he include the all weather mats and he said sure. I cant wait to pick up the car, the turbo is awesome.  My price also did include an owner loyalty, my sister owns a 2003 passat and is registered at the same address as me, SO that offers an additional incentive. Let me know what other questions you have, I would really love to help anyone out if possible. Also, if anyone lives in the NY area, i would not mind helping with the wheeling and dealing.

Replying to: reducedpayment (Mar 16, 2008 11:56 am) You said "...sales people can and usually are scum, they will lie through their teeth if they have too...". That's an odd statement coming from someone who in the same sentence admits to cheating and lying to the "nice" salesman. You know what they say about people who live in glass houses, don't you? Being in sales myself (not auto though) I must conclude that people who use "reducedpayment" as their forum handle are themselves, well, "scum".

Replying to: jay2001 (Mar 16, 2008 4:59 pm) Thanks for the compliment..... maybe i can be considered like robin hood? Why put the money in the pocket of the company that makes million, its better in mine, so if it is to my benefit, why not? The salesman can be nice, by being straight and up front, but he always has something in his sleeve, or at least i think with car buying this is the thought process a person needs to have..... otherwise a person is asking to get ripped off (even if it is for $5 a month) Maybe i should rephrase my statement? But you can call me "scum" if you wish, however if i am getting what I am looking for and not getting jipped for it or at least getting the best bang for my buck, then i could care less what you call me.... Go ahead pay what you wish for the car, but the buying experience is a game, whether you wish to admit/realize it or not, you either play or get suckered, my question is which do you prefer? and then depending on your answer, my next question is "do you really think the sales person cares to give you the best deal possible? (not matter how nice and "genuine" they are) My choice is to play the game and if i cannot win i dont buy....... |
