Replying to: lucretius (Mar 17, 2009 7:15 pm) - You would like to go into a dealership and pay $20,000 for a $30,000 car. - When you come into that dealership, they want to think of a way to get $40,000 for that $30,000 car. The art is meeting in the middle (and obviously from the customer perspective, towards the low end!). Many of the dealer games revolve around leasing, financing, and especially the trade in. I cannot tell you the number of times I have been told my car is worthless, and then I have turned around and sold it to the first person who stopped by to view it for $1,000 - $2,000 (private sale). You as the consumer need to do the research up front (what vehicle do I want, what is the TRUE dealer cost, what can I afford, etc). Don't go in "wanting a certain monthly payment" - they then stretch out the term to meet the monthly payment objective. You also need to back off when things change rapidly. Don't sign if something major changes last minute. You would be surprised, when you get up and walk out (literally), things changed. I have walked out twice, with the dealer running out and telling me that management had just approved the "correction" (Toyota and Audi). This may just end up being a bitter lesson for you. But learn from your mistakes. You now have the car. ENJOY IT. Treat it well...! (and I would NOT NOT NOT go back to that dealer). Don't keep rewarding sleazebags. One last minute thought for you. One can always go back and visit during a high-volume timeframe (e.g. Saturday morning at 11:00 am or 2:00 pm) , and then go into the dealership and talk loud enough about how you had been duped - make sure you are near other customers. I may have, um, done that too....

| Hi there, I was just quoted a price of approx. $3,000 off MSRP for a 4 cylinder CC Sport with A/T. I am in SoCal. Is this a good price? Apparently, the discounted price includes the VW rebate of $1K. Apparently, it looks like about $100 over invoice price less the $1K from VW. What are your thoughts? Are there better deals out there? | |

Just leased a CC Man Sport. Here are the details. MSRP: $27,855 Cap Cost: $24,500 Money Factor: .00073 Residual: 54% Term: 36 months/10k/yr. Sales Tax: $1674(Ohio) Cash at signing: $620 includes first months payment, doc fee, and tags. End result is $338 per month, tax included. |

Just leased with no options (actually has Bluetooth, chrome tip exhaust, and extra winter mats but they gave this car without charging for the options because it was already on the lot). Sale Price $ 25,877 Tax & Fees $ 1,782 Gross CC $ 27,659 Residual 55% Term 36mo. 15k/yr Payment $ 399.78/mo. First payment made at signing. 2 other dealers were around $420 even with the advertised $349.mo sign and drive lease promotion for 10k 36mo. New models have dealers all over the map on pricing until they figure out demand (or think they have it figured out).
