Just bought 2010 TDI MSRP 26,025.00. Paid 25100.00 + tax, license and 55.00 doc fees. Every internet quote I received was 500 - 1000 over MSRP. I visited 3 dealers on Saturday to introduce myself and to completely examine the car. When I got home 2 dealers left internet quotes of -500 and the third was at MSRP. I picked the dealership I felt most comfortable with and I said let's cut the B.S. "I will not pay 5000 over what this car is really worth, but I'll pay 4000 more than it's really worth". So, I worked out a 975.00 savings and still overpaid by thousands. I'm happy, I hope my daughter likes here new car. Additionally, if this car has average or above average reliability, then this car truely makes the Prius (great transportation/reliability) look and drive like a golf cart. I'll get back to you in 5 or 6 years on the reliability thing. |

ok in Seattle area, have test driven 2010 golf TDI Manual, sunroof cold weather, and 2010 golf TDI Automatic, Sunroof, cold weather package. both are 4 door. Manual asking no demanding 25,700 and Automatic asking 27,890 this if before tax, title lic. at least one of the dealers on the sticker put "Market Adjustment $1990" So looking at 27,000 OTD for the Manual and probably 29,500 on the Automatic. Yes I know these are in minute supply but this gouging on pricing is ridiculous. Yes? Yes I know the ride is sweet and the power of the cars is great but, this car seems like a vehicle that should be 24,500 OTD. Am I wrong? |

I was able to negotiate a Jetta TDI for $500 below MSRP in the DC area. While at the dealership I asked what kind of deals they are offering on 09 Passat sedans. It appears that dealer and a few others in my area are selling them for 3000-6000 below MSRP or roughly 24-26k on a 29-31k MSRP car. The TDI MSRP is 25,945 and the deal is for 25,495. I am buying this car for primarily for commuting as my growing family now needs a second car. Our other car is a BMW X3 which will be the kid-hauler. I like the idea of driving fuel efficient car and my commute is about 45 miles round trip. I also drive to NY/Boston 2-3 times a year. But the "deal" on the Passat is very attractive and the additional space, especially in the rear, would be helpful as my two kids grow out of their car seats. Any insights on the pros and cons of each car relative to the other would be appreciated. I am especially interested in the historical long term reliability of both models. I also heard that you can use regular fuel in a Passat. Does that worsen the mileage on the car. That's what I was told about my BMW so I use premium, but my sister uses regular gas on her Audi A4 wagon. |

Just bought mine in Santa Clara at Stevens Creek. It's a base base manual. I really enjoyed the test drive of the 6-speed manual. Lots of power! It listed for $25,060 and they wanted $30,060. After 5 hours I got it for $27,060 + ~$200 for the rubber floor and trunk mats (they really wanted that $60 bucks, too). This was for a model that they had to bring in to california from texas. So, there were some import costs they had to incur. If I wanted the silver (instead of blue) one they had at the location I probably could have paid ~$500 - $700 less. Also, I bought the extended 60k warranty for $1250 (down from $2200). That took a while, too. Wanted it for $800 but it wasn't in the cards If anyone wants a manual silver TDI wagon with base options go to Steven Creek ASAP. Can;t wait to pick it up at the end of the month. How do you claim the $1300 tax credit???? Woohoo |
