#70 of 108 Re: Buying advice [adge613] by kelman81 Sep 15, 2006 (8:25 am)
Replying to: adge613 (Sep 15, 2006 6:55 am) I bought my 2 door with hubcaps back on the first of July and paid MSRP. I chose it over a 4 door, the only other Rabbit they had, because of the price difference and I didn't want the manual in the 4 door, the 2 door I bought was an auto. If you can live with the 2 door, it's a much better deal (price class of car) than the 4 door even though I still regret it at times. The dealer had a +$800 sticker on the window since these were the first two Rabbits they had. All I had to do was point at it and the sales person said not to worry, she'd get rid of it. Wouldn't haggle at all past that, even on my trade.   Anyways, only 4000 2006.5 Rabbits were sent to the US, so selection is limited until 2007's really start to pick up. Also, like others noted, the dealer showed me the markup over invoice on the Rabbits and it was something like $700, compared to $1500 for a Jetta or $3000 for a Passat.   So right now, you should be happy to pay MSRP. The best point would be to try to haggle over your trade if you have one.

When I purchased my 2 door manual Rabbit a few days ago, I wasn't able to talk them down much, and they weren't going to give me dirt on my trade. Once I pointed out that other dealerships were offering 500 dollars off for a new graduate, I was able to get the car at 300 over invoice, but I'm selling my other car private party to get more for it. I did have to act quickly, since the two other Rabbits on the lot were sold within 24 hours of my test drive.
#72 of 108 Must be sold out in Calif. by kurtamaxxxguy Nov 05, 2006 (12:48 am)
Our local VW dealer, serving valley of 200,000 or so, looked like a used car lot with only a handful of new VW's mixed in with the trades. On a Saturday afternoon, there was No literature, no sales people about, and no Rabbits; just a handful of black interior GTI's.   And yes, sounds like the tired old story of new model shortage. No doubt Rabbits will be more plentiful later in the year.

#74 of 108 soon to purchase by shirotori May 22, 2007 (3:54 pm)
I'm in the process of getting some quotes from some vw dealerships on a 4-door manual transmission with alloy wheels. Anyone out there who has recently purchased nearly the same car? What should I expect for price? Did you have any wiggle room for negotiations? Thanks Replies to this message: trooperkal (May 24, 2007 11:23 am) shirotori (May 24, 2007 7:45 pm) trooperkal (May 25, 2007 5:59 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: steven39 (Nov 05, 2006 10:32 am) I think with the more expensive model, and all those options, there's a bit more wiggle room. Someone who is buying a base 2-door model should expect to pay close to sticker price. Replies to this message: eldaino (May 24, 2007 6:09 am)

Replying to: bunnyisback (May 23, 2007 1:30 pm) we payed sticker for ours, which was fine, it was barely 100 bucks over 17k.

Replying to: shirotori (May 22, 2007 3:54 pm) It all depends on if you feel sorry for the dealer or not and whether you have multiple VW dealers in your area.   I just closed a deal last night on my new 4-door auto... the sticker prices was 18,829 and the "agreed on" price on the lease document was 17,500. Which was actually below their invoice.   The business manager said "you got a great deal, can you help negotiate for me when I get my next car?" LOL She said guys usually get better deals because they don't feel bad for the sales people.   It also helped that I have three dealers in my area and was able to get them to compete with each other.

Replying to: trooperkal (May 24, 2007 11:23 am) I was offered $17,720 for a 4 door manual with 16" alloy wheels. What do you think, good deal or a bit high yet? Replies to this message: trooperkal (May 25, 2007 5:59 am) alikeith (Jun 20, 2007 2:47 pm)
#79 of 108 Using TMV and KBB prices by chicagogiton May 24, 2007 (7:51 pm)
I bought my 07 Black Rabbit 2 door manual with 16" alloys last week, I brought in the Edmunds TMV and the Kelly Blue Book price. Before I showed them these two items I was quoted list price. So, saved me $200, a fair price for me and them.
