#57 of 90 Americanism by krisofseattle May 21, 2009 (7:27 pm)
i don't know why it is so hard for some people get a simple idea -     --- designed by Germans and built by Americans ----   is that so hard to grasp? it's not worth it for me to argue the obvious facts. i could just as easily had gotten a Chrysler, Honda or Toyota.   i just like Volkswagen, OK? i am a baby boomer, nostalgia of the 70's, even if it is controversial...

#59 of 90 American Van by jjho72 May 22, 2009 (3:36 pm)
--- designed by Germans and built by Americans ----   hmmm... isn't it more like     --- designed by Americans and built by Canadians (Windsor, Ontario) ----   If you open up the hood you'll see a Chrysler logo. I have a Routan and I think it's a great van. Besides the grill, suspension and interior it's a Chrysler Town&Country. It's like saying Dodge Grand Caravan and Town&Country are completely different vans. I'm not saying badge engineering is anything bad. If you look Japanese imports they do it all the time. Toyota Highlander = Lexus RX, Honda Pilot = Acura MDX. But let's not get carried away and think that this van was actually designed from VW.
#60 of 90 Purchase Terms by rio_ Jun 03, 2009 (9:23 am)
Jatmobile...sorry for the late reply...just got back from 3wks in Brasil   I bought the SEL with RSE in early May. I paid $27.6K before tax and registration. There was a $1500 discount for RSE and $500 for owner loyalty as well as the $6K cash from VW that I took in lieu of the 0% financing cuz I financed through my CU at 4.99% for 72 months which has a lower NPV than the 0% financing offer.   I tried negotiating some of the "hold back" but that discussion wasn't going anywhere fast.   Cheers ~ Rio Replies to this message: krisofseattle (Jun 03, 2009 3:23 pm)

2009 Silver Routan SEL Package 3 RSE   Asked for and received as part of deal second two sets of ear phones and second remote (hey, room for 5 in the back most of them should have head phones, right?).   Very no-hassle deal.   MSRP 39,3k Trade: 2004 Chrysler Pacifica priced by Volvomax on "Real World Tade in Value" forum at 4-5k   Out the door price including tax (8% here, ouch), dealer fees (if any -- I don't really care), DMV (at $165 but will be refunded difference if there is any) -- etc. etc. etc -- of 26k even.   Net was 13.3k off list -- maybe 5k of which was Pacifica (which means real discount was 8.3k off list).
#63 of 90 Just bought new 09 Routan SEL w/ RSE & Nav by bwoolery001 Jun 17, 2009 (10:02 am)
Just bought a new 2009 Red Routan SEL, with RSE & Navigation   Paid $500 less than invoice, plus got the $3,500 cash incentive, AND used their special rate financing (was better deal than taking $7k and using my credit-union financing). Add 3% tax, $55 tags, $459 doc fee. Got $3k for my 2003 Mazda MPV w/ 145k miles, a cracked windshield in 2 places, scratches all around, an indention in the rear liftgate and a front bumper with a hole in it (don't ask). I thought that was great, and more than KBB for that condition, actually. Here's the breakdown:   Invoice $37,037 Discount ($500) Incentive ($3,500) Trade ($3,000) Net Cost $30,037 3% tax $901.11 Tags $55 Doc fee $459 OTD price $31,452.11 with 0.5% for 72 months   What do you think?

Replying to: bwoolery001 (Jun 17, 2009 10:02 am) Did you get cash incentive PLUS a 72mos financing? What was incentive if you paid cash?   it was $6,000 couple months ago, if you paid cash in full. and $2,000 if financed it.

Replying to: krisofseattle (Jun 17, 2009 2:01 pm) Yes, I got the cash incentive PLUS 72 month financing. Not all dealers were offering 72 months, some either weren't aware or were but would only offer 66 months. If using their financing, incentive was $3,500 ($2k from VW, plus add'l $1.5k if purchasing RSE). If not using their financing, was $7,500 ($6k from VW, plus add'l $1.5k if purchasing RSE). I think the incentives are scheduled to end on June 30, if I'm not mistaken. Replies to this message: krisofseattle (Jun 18, 2009 2:08 pm) kyfdx (Jun 20, 2009 5:44 am)

Replying to: bwoolery001 (Jun 18, 2009 7:50 am) Basically you got it 500 below dealer invoice - all other discounts being a part of VW promotions.   i would say it's pretty good deal.   Red one, huh? i love that color! we ended up with a Silver. Those are the best colors i think. We considered blue, but we thought we would get tired of it after a while and blue can look bad when it the shine goes away.
