Wow! After 15 years with luxury cars, I'm impressed. SOOOOOOOOO much more than a Civic- w/leather (couldn't find one). Got one from Metro VW in Irving, TX for $350 below "invoice", though I do believe that the "invoice" prices that VW publishes are BS. Making only $400 profit on a vehicle at full-boat retail ain't gonna keep a dealerships doors open for long. The man we dealt with was their Fleet-guy, Frank Heinz. After buy 15 cars in 10 years, my partner and I have agreed that this was one of the easiest, most pleasant dealers we've dealt with in quite awhile. Steve

My son drove his new Rabbit home at 5:30 yesterday. I believe that we got a fair deal-although fair is a relative term in car sales. 2008 2 door black Rabbit with auto, floor mats, arm rest with IPOD jack, and a cargo tray. OTD price of $17977. No trade was involved and we took the 1.9% finanancing rate for 48 mos., and this is a good way for my son to build a credit history for himself. He gets the first oil change for free at 5k miles. That may be next year for him. I think he put 7k miles on his last car in 2 years. We tested the 2008 Honda Fit and the Toyota Yaris also but the VW just felt more solid--not like an economy car. The Honda dealer offered 17,600 OTD for the Fit Sport but the financing was 5.3% for 48 mos. The extra $377 that the VW cost is offset by the 1.9% finance rate. He disliked the Yaris the most as there was no acceration with 3 of us on the test drive and the a/c on high. It just didn't want to accerate up an on ramp. We were pleased with the ammenities of the Rabbit as well as the performance. It handles great, rides smooth, and accelerates strong. I hope the MPG is close to the advertised 21-29. I'm counting on this car to get my son through the next 3 years of college as a commuting student and hopefully carry him for many years after he graduates. |

Today I purchase a new 2008 Rabbit 4 door with automatic transmission, 16" Magny Cours alloy wheel package, ESP and sunroof for a base price of $20014. Adding the $499.50 document fee, tax, title and an insurance package consisting of wheel/tire protection, gap insurance and lost key protection, the out the door total price is $23,531.36. I am doing the 36 month 0% financing. |

hatchbackfreak and a few others made mentioned that they saw new Rabbits going for just over $13,000 new at several dealerships. Has anyone gotten any of these deals, and if so, where? Thanks.
