It seems that the best deal I can get from dealership around Eugene Oregon is 27K+TTL 0%Apr fpr 60 months. Any idea if I can d o better than this (like in Sep 2009)?

Finally pulled the trigger on this Passat today. Not good at negotiation though: $24,500 (including window TINT, paint protection, Mats, iPod adaptor) + TTL. Dealer tried to sell me the extended warranty 7Y / 70,000 miles for $1580. Does the price worth it? |

I was able to negotiate a Jetta TDI for $500 below MSRP in the DC area. While at the dealership I asked what kind of deals they are offering on 09 Passat sedans. It appears that dealer and a few others in my area are selling them for 3000-6000 below MSRP or roughly 24-26k on a 29-31k MSRP car. The standard configuration with mats with an MSRP of 29,199 usually goes fro around 24,500+TTL. The TDI MSRP is 25,945 and the deal is for 25,495+TTL. I am buying this car for primarily for commuting as my growing family now needs a second car. Our other car is a BMW X3 which will be the kid-hauler. I like the idea of driving fuel efficient car and my commute is about 45 miles round trip. I also drive to NY/Boston 2-3 times a year. But the "deal" on the Passat is very attractive and the additional space, especially in the rear, would be helpful as my two kids grow out of their car seats. Any insights on the pros and cons of each car relative to the other would be appreciated. I am especially interested in the historical long term reliability of both models. I also heard that you can use regular fuel in a Passat. Does that worsen the mileage on the car. That's what I was told about my BMW so I use premium, but my sister uses regular gas on her Audi A4 wagon.

For daily short trips of a mile or so, we're probably getting 17 mpg or less. -I'm not nuts about the headlights at night. They don't seem bright enough.
