Replying to: jmnapp (Jul 07, 2006 10:42 am) 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!

Replying to: lexcord (Jul 10, 2006 5:37 pm) I didn't get much off the MSRP, but I didn't have a "dealer prep" charge. I also bought the 2 door base model, and at the price it's being sold at, I can't imagine there's a ton of overhead. I have read on here that folks are getting charged over MSRP. Dunno about that. I also didn't get any special VW financing, since they aren't running any specials. With that said, I got about $1200 over the KBB for my car in "good" condition. Also, in the next month or so I would have had to put another $600 in my trade-in for new tires, new brake pads, inspection, oil change, etc. All together it's not far from what I could have sold the car for myself, minus the hassle. Are you buying in the Triangle area of NC? If so, you might want to try Frema VW in Goldsboro. I felt like a got a good deal from them, but every situation is different, i.e. time of the month, trade-in, etc jmnapp is in the process of looking for a Rabbit...maybe he can tell us what luck he's having?

Replying to: jmnapp (Jul 11, 2006 5:30 am) In general, at least in the this area, looking outside of Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill can get you a better deal. The dealerships outside of the Triangle have to do something to compete with the dealerships in town. As the saleswoman told me, "We can't afford to lose customers." So, depending on where you live, I think it's always a good idea to look at all the dealerships within an hour or so, especially if they are in smaller towns. For those who are looking to purchase, I wonder what experience folks are having in terms of price and availability? Still only silver and black available?

Replying to: rgarner (Jul 11, 2006 8:38 am) I am waiting to hear back from 2 dealerships yet but the one offer I have so far for a sage green 06 4 door stick with ESP and 16"rims is 19,370 out the door (taxes tags everything). They are offering me $400 less for my trade than KBB says its worth. I too am trying a dealer in a local smaller town... hopefully they have a deal for me. I'll keep you posted on my experience!

Replying to: lexcord (Jul 11, 2006 9:44 am) I live in The SF Bay area, and paid MSRP for a 2 door with floor mats. 15,730. I know a lot of dealers in CA try and mark up new models.. but had a great buying experience at Dirritto Bros. in Walnut Creek. Love the CAR. |
