Hi, has anyone bought a VW Rabbit lately? And what has been their prices/experiences? My son (new college grad) has expressed interest in this car. We live in the LA area. TIA!

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

Leased a 2007 2-door Manual - no option by helmutvonkopf

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- .

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.

New 2006 Rabbit - What Price by grexp
Aug 26, 2007 (2:59 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?

I'm going to be a first time car buyer in the ner future, well a new car anyway. I've been looking into buying a new rabbit, but I'm just not sure about what price to tell them I'm willing to pay or anything of that sort. Any advice would be helpful!
 
I'm looking at purchasing a:
4-door
Auto (I'm sick of driving manual haha)
17" Wheels
Power sunroof
iPod adapter
 
When I add this all up on VW's website the MSRP is $21,244.00. What can I expect to pay?
 
THANKS FOR THE HELP!
