#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?

#67 of 123 Buying advice by adge613 Sep 15, 2006 (5:55 am)
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! Replies to this message: lzc (Sep 15, 2006 6:57 am) kelman81 (Sep 15, 2006 7:25 am)

Replying to: adge613 (Sep 15, 2006 5:55 am) At this time, it looks like the demand for the new Rabbit exceeds the supply. I just visited 5 dealers in Oregon. Only 1 had a single 4-door model in stock. If that's true in your area, don't expect to buy for much less than MSRP. Of course, if the lot is full of Rabbits, $500 over invoice, or less, would be about right, imo.   It also looks like the spread between Rabbit invoice and MSRP is less than for most cars. I read somewhere that when VW decided to assemble the Rabbit in Germany the $ and Euro were at parity. Now that the $ has slipped 20-25%, pricing is tight. Good luck.
#69 of 123 Update by adge613 Sep 15, 2006 (7:07 am)
I've got a few emails out to dealerships in my area because what it shows on their websites is a poor selection. I'm afraid I may have some trouble finding what I want.

Replying to: adge613 (Sep 15, 2006 5:55 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.
#71 of 123 Price by twisty Nov 01, 2006 (4:02 pm)
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.
