#54 of 123 Long story - cont... by beecoterie Nov 04, 2006 (7:08 pm)
...to negotiate with him using the Internet quoted price from the big city had they been able to actually see all of the cars out there. It would have been infinitely more convenient for me to buy here (rather than 150 miles from here)…but that convenience ain’t worth $700+.   Miscellaneous things to consider if you’ve read this far…   The guitar that you get now with the car is fetching $500+ on eBay…Don’t believe me? Search for yourself So you may want to factor that into your deal…ESPECIALLY if you are buying around X-Mas.   Also, if the dealer lets you put money down on a credit card (as mine did), and you go with a VW Credit Card (0% for 12 mos), you will also get $50 gift certificate…   Anyway, good luck with your own VW deal. Feel free to provide feedback on any part of the deal that I got (especially the extended warranty – if you can talk me out of it in my 30-day cancellation window I’ll send you a Lobstergram).   Oh and I kept the town and city names out of this because I didn’t want people to pin it down to an exact dealer out of respect for those that make their livelihood selling cars, use this to negotiate a good deal – not to track down my specific dealer and demand the same, or better deal. Had they tried to sell me VIN etching, I may have not been so considerate.

Replying to: steven39 (Nov 04, 2006 8:38 pm) The radio has a speed/noise sensitive adjustment that adjusts volume automatically according to "conditions." You can turn that feature off. Check the manual. The distortion may be a separate issue that needs attention by the dealer.
#57 of 123 I've heard that 8 state radius line too. by mike_car Feb 18, 2007 (10:23 am)
Furthermore…I ended up very close to just ordering up a Rabbit and waiting the 3-4 months of it to be built because my small town dealer said that he had done a search of an 8 state radius and could not find any car that met my specs – either in the showroom or on order.   That sounds really familar But I think it's a line of BS. Here my story I intially went to a dealer where I got my 04 golf. small dealer but nice guys. I wanted a 2 door manual rabbit with ESP and tire pressure option. ESP was a must the tire presure indicator was a nice option but not a deal breaker. I was told the 8 state radius line of BS. I was very close to doing a deal with them for a car in their inventory until I checked a dealer that was right around the corner from me. First Rabbit I looked at 2 door manual with ESP and 16 in alloy wheels. Needless to say I did the deal for the car I wanted. MSRP was 16,480 I paid 16,400 + tax and got a set of VW Rubber mats thrown in as well. THE TMV price is 16,470 mine is a 2007 model United Gray I feel I got a good deal. Had my financing pre approved through my CU and took delivery of the car the next day after doing the deal.   I would just say if a dealer tell you we looked in an 8 state radius .... Just get up and walk away. Do some more searches on the internet. work the phones and you'll find the car with the options you want. BTW I love my Rabbit.
#58 of 123 When are the 2008's coming out? by olddog7 Jul 22, 2007 (2:44 pm)

#59 of 123 2007 Rabbit Residuals by goody39 Jul 30, 2007 (11:12 am)
Hi I'm looking to lease a 2007 Rabbit, can you please provide the residuals and the money factors for the following, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'll be trading in a 1998 Audi A6 Quattro with 134k on it in good shape...just wondering what a ballpark monthly payment should look like with this trade.   2007 Rabbit Automatic Sunroof 3/36k miles   Thanks, Jason

Replying to: olddog7 (Jul 22, 2007 2:44 pm) Not sure of the exact date. I went to the dealership on June 16 and wanted an 07 but it didn't have the options I wanted. He told me that I could order an 08 with the exact options I wanted but that it would take 90 to 120 days to get to the dealership. I said "I'll take it". He also said I would be getting one of the first 08's at their dealership. That puts it arriving at the earliest in the middle of September. So you have a little price comparison: 2008 reflex silver 4 door automatic transmission electronic stability program ground effects kit w/rear spoiler no wheel upgrade (I'm going to get aftermarket 18" rims for summertime and use the stock 15's in the winter)   Price: $20,875
#61 of 123 Leased a 2007 2-door Manual - no option by helmutvonkopf Aug 16, 2007 (9:36 am)
I put $3k down, of which $2300 actually went against the car. I am paying $159 am month ( incl. taxes ) for 4 years with a 12k miles per year limit. That is cheap motoring!   I bought at Gunther VW in Coconut Creek ( Broward County, FL ) from a guy called Kelly Clemson who was very responsive. I did it over the net and only actually spoke to him when the deal was done. I didn't get any bull from them when I went in to sign the contract and pick the car up - unlike the Volvo I bought from Maroone last year where they tried to add umpteen things to the lease based on scaring me about gap insurance, costs when returning the vehicle etc.   I know somebody else who bought a Passat from Gunther and got the best deal there ( a real hard nosed lady who always drives a hard bargain ).   The only downside was that they kept me waiting too long but overall I would give them an A- .
#62 of 123 Gunther VW by sandman46 Aug 16, 2007 (10:55 am)
Almost bought a Jetta there back in mid '05 but ended up at the Mazda dealer up the street. Saw 2 white Jettas earlier this morning, one was the base and the other had the nice alloys. Nice looking car actually and will probably look at them again when the wife's ready to trade in a few years. She liked the Jetta, not the Value Edition she test drove...too spartan for her. Also like that Gunther is within 4 miles of the house.   The Sandman
#63 of 123 New 2006 Rabbit - What Price by grexp Aug 26, 2007 (1:59 pm)
It is a new 2006 VB Rabbit. According to Edmunds, if it was a 2007 with the same features the MSRP would be 19,055 and the dealer invoice cost would be 18,089. If it was a 2007 and I made an offer at 3% over invoice the offer would be 18,632.   However, this is a 2006 and the 2008s are pretty much out, if not out already. There is no point in me making that offer on a 2006 when I could get a 2007 or 08 for the same price. But I'm a sucker for a good deal. I would rather get a great deal on a 2006 than a good deal on an 07 or 08.   So how low should I go. How low do you think the dealer would be willing to go. Any ideas?
