2 dr rabbit auto by afroberber

Just bought a silver 2dr auto rabbit for my wife ,paid $16,800 + administration fee $379 ,taxes about $1049 and tag transfer $80 ,total O.T.D was $18,210 .There was no trade involved . I live in orlando , fl and most dealers here are adding about 2K in markup , which is ridiculous! Ended up going to Aristocrat VW , about 20 miles from orlando in sanford , got it at msrp ,great experience , there was no hassle or negotiating and their inventory was huge compared to the others .Great car for the price feels much more upscale than its competitors, add to that a 6 speed tiptronic and the peppy 5 cyl , can't ask for more than that.

What is a $379 administration fee?
Sounds bogus to me?
And then $80 to tag transfer?
Sounds high to me.

That administration fee sounds like the contract fee this dealer wanted me to pay. $299 to fill out the contract, I don't think so. I know the tag transfer(that's license plates right, if not, then disregard), would of been around $75 to get new ones and $65 to use your existing plate.

Just took delivery of my silver 2006 2DR Rabbit! This is my family's 10th VW from the same dealership and I can't believe the 150hp/170ft lbs AND 30MPG! This is more horsepower and more torque than my '88 Porsche 924S....and more fun too! Great job on the independant rear suspension. Who needs a GTI with a throaty 5CYL like this one. VW has done a fabulous job on the larger interior and handling. This is a completely different car and overall feeling compared to my son's 2003 2DR 115hp Golf. All this and only $14,990....AMAZING!

Question.....Does anyone know why my new Rabbit is a 2006 and not a 2007?

Because elsewhere the Golf is still wrapping up its 2006 model year. There will be a 2007 Rabbit coming in a few months.

Well, the Honda Fit is a 2007 model year so I would say it's a legitimate question.

Why did you say it was such a good experience buying from this dealer? Did you check other dealers as well? Did they have the best price? Thanks for the info as I'm looking to purchase in the Raleigh/Durham area.

jmnapp, yes, I felt like I had a great experience at Frema VW in Goldsboro. I recommend them highly. Family owned business, brother and sister, and they were right there in the store working along everyone else. It's not a fancy dealership by any stretch of the imagination, but who cares. The deal was good, and they were super nice, salt of the earth folks. I worked the whole deal over the phone. It's great buying a car in 20 minutes versus the spend all day at the dealership alternative. They didn't have the car, but found it in Wilmington and had it there the next day.
 
I looked at Leith VW and Southern States. These are great dealerships, but they weren't willing to give me the best deal. I think there is also a dealer in Chapel Hill.
 
Southern States - Bought my wife's care there. Nice folks. However, my experience is that they didn't want me to drive a car until they almost had a deal worked out on the table. How am I supposed to know if I like the car if I haven't driven it?
 
Leith VW - Super nice guys, let me hop in the car and take it for a spin. However, couldn't work a deal.
 
Frema gave me the best price, an AWESOME trade in value (which sealed the deal), better financing, and were awesome to work with. Well worth the drive to buy if you're serious.
 
By far the easiest and most straight forward car buying experience I've ever had. Shoot me an email and I'll tell you who I worked with.
 
Good luck!
