I have seen newspaper ads for "All V8 Touaregs in stock" at $7200 off MSRP. Of course if you read the leeetle print $1000 of that is VW loyalty cash which is only good if you currently own a VW.

It was between the FX35 and the touareg but all these problems i am hearing about have scared the hell out of me. Looks like infiniti will be getting my money. Damn! It would have been nice to get a Touareg though. The wife really likes the design and i would have scored brownie points.
If you dont need the towing or off-road capability of the VW, and you dont mind the hard ride of the fx, you are better off with the car-based SUV. You give up nothing in room or features. For VW's part, they are stepping up to the plate to fix stuff.
I have an offer for a 2004 V8 with the following extras itemized at invoice: Premium Plus 19" Wheels Electronic Parking Assist Rear Differential Lock OnStar Telematics
Total price before tax and after $3500 incentive is $45,866.
I have an offer from a dealer of a 2004 V8 with no major options as follows.
Invoice $38620 Less rebate $3500 Plus Delivery $615 Dealer profit $500 Total $36235 (before taxes)
This is in San Jose in Northern California. I see the rebates are on the V8's are good until end of Jan 05 and so my thinking is that would also apply to the new 2005 models. My goal would be to buy a 2005 and see how close I can get to the above price.
A midwestern newspaper would like to talk with someone who, in the past month, bought a luxury vehicle (other than a Lexus) for which minimal incentives were available. Please reply to jfallon@edmunds.com by Friday, October 8, 2004 with your daytime contact info and a few words about your purchase decision.

We drove a 2005 Volkswagen Touareg V6 off the lot today.
Reflex Silver, with Premium Pack II (leather trim, powered seats, sunroof, etc), Navigator and Electronic Parking Assistance. We were given proper documentation and manuals and a set of 10 CDs covering the US and Canada.
Final price was $42,000 including taxes (8.25% here in northern california).
Hope this is of help for others. We made several trips to VW dealers our area and lots of phone calls. It took us about two weeks.
We drove both the 2004 and the 2005 (220hp and 240hp respectively) and there was no big difference. Can't wait for snow time to make a trip to the mountains
Got the deal from McKenna VW in Huntington Beach through the internet fleet person.
There seems to be quite a few 2004 V8's left out there.
I was considering a Land Rover LR3, but now after 2 weeks with the VW, I am soooo liking my Touareg. I didn't know there was so much positive buzz about this vehicle. I read a lot of car mags and stuff, but even non "car guys" seem to know what a great car this is.
2004 V8 Touareg Convenience Package Navigation Parking Assist Xenon Headlights (I think this equates to the Equipment Package #2 not sure though if these were sold separately on the 04)
$45000 Before Tax
I would be more happy Paying $41000, I dont know what the incentives are this time of year.
I would be buying the car practically cash and financing the last $10000 (I dont know if that makes any difference to the dealer)
The 2004 V8 is pretty much identical to a 2005 V8, and a similar spec 05 is $49,125 MSRP
The post just above yours indicates a purchase price closer to $43K, but that's in WV.
First, you'll want to hit the "new cars" tab at the top of this page, and build & price your Touareg. That will show you invoice price, MSRP, and the price others in your area are paying for the same vehicle. You'll also get a link to incentives & rebates available for your region.
I had a quick look, and it seems you might have trouble getting down that low, but who knows?

I've just purchased a new 2004 V8 Touareg on an internet referral. It's a base V8, but that's OK because it has all the bells and whistles I need.
The price was $36,797. They gave me $17,000 trade-in on my 2002 Nissan Pathfinder LE.
Two weeks earlier the same dealership had quoted me $39,000 on the Touareg and a trade-in of $14,200 on my Nissan. This was walking in off the street. Must have been a huge salesman's commission.
It pays to shop via the net. And do shop because different internet services resulted in different prices as well. this was the lowest, and surprisingly it led me back to the same dealership I started at.
I bought from the dealer contact via autoweb, but try several. All work with different dealers in an area. One for example had the nearest dealer about 75 miles away. I'd recommend getting contacts from four or five internet services and comparing prices.
Price was invoice ($48,022 + $367 in local fees) minus a rebate of $500 (applied after taxes) for already owning a VW. Financing was 2.9% for 60 months.
The fleet manager quoted me over the phone and then followed up with an e-mail confirming the price. They didn't have the exact configuration I wanted, so they transferred it from another location. It was very easy.
Looking to buy a Touareg V6...but I can't stand the current V6 Rims? I do like the 'Tangis' rims VW offers as an accessory. Will dealers generally swap rims at no cost?
I'm in the Suburbs of Washington, D.C. and am considering buying the V6 with Premium Pkg. #2. One dealer provides "bottom line" pricing and is asking for $37,238 which includes freight. I e-mailed another dealer last night and without even negotiating received a quote for $35,049 which also includes freight. This appears to be below invoice. Does anyone have any insight into better pricing or possibly trying to negotiate more options for the same price. Right now VW has 2.9% financing which makes this deal seem pretty good. Thanks.
I just got an 04 Toureg and can't make the compass/clock in the overhead console stay "on". Turns off after about 1 minute. Is this the way it is programmed or am I missing a trick?
Also, does anyone know how to make the tire pressure warning light reset, or do I have to go to the dealer??
Trojan, could you please share the name of the dealership and fleet manager. I'm in the market for the same car. Did you get it with the new DVD based Nav?
Can you e-mail me the name and phone number of the dealer or Fleet Mgr. I'm getting hit with much higher prices from several of the VW dealers in the San Diego area. I hope to lease a 2005 V-8 in the next week or two.
i ready to buy a 2005 Toureg V-6. premium package III which includes cricket leather, upgraded sound sys and bi-xenon lights. location is columbus, oh area. have been quoted $38,475 and $39,097. Invoice is $37,995. MSRP is 41,445. Anyone have recent purchase experience with pricing? 2.9% financing has been offered by one dealer.
Sorry for the delayed response from not checking these boards. I bought my Touareg from the Internet fleet manager at Fladeboe VW in Irvine, CA.
My nav system is CD based. I don't think DVD was available at the time. Is it out now? Regardless, the system has been great.
I'd be happy to e-mail anybody here more info than this board will allow. What's the best way to share e-mail addresses without getting spammed to death?
Comments
Any real life experiences to share? Please also provide dealer name if possible.
Thanks
Good Luck

+DMV, doc, county taxes.

The invoice on the web for this model with the above features is $43,713. I'm thinking of offering $44,500 (excluding tax & license).
Is this too low, high or just right?

Any experience in buying demos, how much of a discount they offered you. What should I suggest?
