Replying to: jbaustian (Mar 30, 2007 6:14 pm) as far as warranty issues go;....wouldnt the dealer use the fact that i did it myself against me? If any problems were to arise that is? |

Replying to: eldaino (Apr 02, 2007 5:34 am) However... if a problem should arise that could be traced to some error in an oil change, e.g. overfilling or not filling with enough oil, then there would be the question of who is to blame. That is one reason to use the same shop for all oil changes--dealer or not--then there is no doubt about whose fault it is. Me, I use my local dealers because they don't charge that much for oil changes (it's actually free for two of my cars, one of which was originally purchased at the dealership, and on the other I got a free maintenance package when I bought it) and it's nice to know that if there's some problem, it's the manufacturer's dealer who is at fault. |

I was just at a vw dealership yesterday, after it was closed to take a look at the available Rabbits. This dealership (in Western Wisconsin) has about 5 or 6 Rabbits and I was struck by the fact that most of them seemed to be 2006 models. If we are coming close to the 2008 model year, why would they still have a fair amount of '06s? Would those '06 models be more likely to be marked down or will they probably sell close to their MSRP? What do you think?

Replying to: shirotori (Apr 15, 2007 9:12 am) I believe the 2006 models were first made available in May or June 2006, then the switchover to 2007 came in September or so. During last summer the dealerships around here had maybe one Rabbit on the showroom floor and zero out on the lot. Whenever any new ones arrived, phone calls were sent out before the Rabbits were even unloaded off the truck, and most were sold within 12-24 hours. I wish you would revisit that Wisconsin dealership, find out what's up with those 2006 models, and report back here. It's an interesting puzzle. And BTW, I doubt they will be discounted, not much anyway. But still a good deal.
