Now, if VW brings the new Rabbit to our side of the pond come September, I have no reason to believe that VW will discount those either. This makes even a little savings on a 2010 Mazda3 seem that much larger. I agree with you about the Rabbit and the Mazda3 as being the top cars in the "hot hatch" market, especially with VW's improved reliability. Would I buy a Rabbit? Probably not. I have driven one (2007), though, and they are quite impressive. Plus, the Golf/Rabbit is suppose to have a TDI version ready at launch. You can forget about seeing any savings on those. My local VW dealer is still asking $2,000 over MSRP for the Jetta TDI's right now. Let's see how expensive diesel gets come summer time. If it gets around $5.00/gal like last summer, people may not want to pay a premium price for them. But, who knows! |

We ordered one within a month or so of launch, with maybe a token $100 discount. Then a month or so later, I found another dealer 70 miles away had just gotten in exacty what she ordered in and when I contacted them, they offered to sell for below invoice...that was $700-1000 less than the price we were offered on our order. We also got discount financing of 2.9% for 24 months. This was maybe 2 months after launch.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Mar 10, 2009 5:21 am) Actually, considering that there are still plenty of 2009 Mazda3 as well as the incoming 2010 Mazda3 the choices now are 4 or 5 speed automatics and the 5 and 6 speed manuals. Plus, the competition includes models with a similar array of choices. I think it is resonable for consumers to ask about the difference in transmissions and for salesmen to explain their product choices clearly.

Replying to: betteb (Mar 10, 2009 9:35 am) I don't need to check the board here on Edmunds. I just need to place a phone call to my buddy who is a GM at a VW store, in which I just confirmed they have an addendum on all TDI's per the store owners request. And somehow, they get it.

Replying to: dc_dave (Mar 11, 2009 10:49 am) You don't think for one minute that Honda dealers won't ask for full list, or more?? Common....Honda dealers are known for doing that. I highly doubt the selling at MSRP thing will last too long. As I said, dealers in my area are still charging AT LEAST MSRP, some more, for the TDI Jetta's. |
