anyway, anyone care to "...include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information.." that offers a few thousand off invoice...
TIA
A day before I finalized my "good deal" for a 2005 v6 touareg I was looking for this personable I've dealt with before, but he was not there. So, the manager matched me with this "unintersted" salesman who would not let me test drive the car i wanted.(i learned from "my salesman" later that my car was in a lot 4 miles away). So, I left the dealership with the impression that my car was already sold.
Hours later, i got a call from my salesman and he told me that my car was still available. I went back to the dealership and we drove 4-5 miles to the backlot where he showed me all the other cars available and the car i wanted. I placed a deposit on my car and finalized the deal the following day.
The NJ dealership is great but what is more important is really the Salesman you deal with.
Trust me... you don't get to see those posts.. It turns into one big shill-o-rama...

try doing a google search : touareg forum and perhaps you can get some answers there. Like i said you can go into a good dealership but you may end up with a not se helpful salesperson. it happened to me twice in the same dealership. 1st time was when i was looking for a jetta tdi and the 1st salesperson told me that the advertised "car" was no longer available. of course it was a big lie.good luck. i tried posting the info but the admin deleted them. perhaps they had bad experiences before. good luck; maybe i'll see your post somewhere.
New car warranty.. 4yr/50K miles
Free scheduled maintenance..
Roughly twice the MPG of the Touareg..
Will run circles around the Touareg..
It wouldn't be a tough choice for me... Over the next four years, the new A3 will be much cheaper, and much more fun to drive... the only thing you are giving up is AWD, and a little rear shoulder and hip room...
Just my $0.02..

The Touareg has twice the ground clearance as well.
So- if it's a drive around town vehicle, the A3, being over 1000lbs lighter will be more practical and more fun. But- if you want to put anything in it, or go off road, you only have one choice.
Totally different vehicles... with about the same engine.
They both take premium gas- but the T-reg uses a lot more of it. Oil futures are at $67/barrel today.
Interesting choice. With that much variation in vehicles- there are a lot of choices in between as well. :shades:

Seems like a good deal considering I am upside down on my trade by a few grand.
Anyone found a better deal in southern california recently?
Thanks!
4 years/15000 miles
$589 per month
$1500 DOD
I was still upside down on my trade by about 2k.
Overall the experience was good, i visited 3 dealers in the SD area (City, Bob Baker in Carlsbad, Mirimar).
Made my deal at Mirimar, but felt comfortable with my dealings at all three dealerships.
Thanks!
Mileage: 14000
Internet Price $27500
Questions:
1. What is the true observed gas mileage with these vehicles?
2. How much lower do you think I can lower the price?
3. I am wanting a 4x4 and considering 4Runner, Grand Cherokee, and Pathfinder. I want the vehicle to last 8 years or so with no major work needed. Am I expecting too much with the Touareg then?
2. Depending on the trim level it's up in the air. Is this a dealer price?
3. The only way to get through 8 years of no major issues with any car is not to drive it IMO.
2. that seems like a good price
3. Dream on dude or dudette. This is by far the most expensive car to keep running I have ever had, and I've had quite a few. And mine's still under warrantee.
negotiated on a Base V6 + Roof Rack...
$3100 Down (including $2000 trade-in)
total drive-off $4500 (includes first, acq, dep)
$413 + tax 36 mo 15k miles/year
mf 0.00074
Gross Cap $35,200 - the V6 had a few hundred miles on it - likely a demo or just lots of test drive - I coulda maybe pressed more but its a lease.
Bottom line - you can probably negotiate a killer deal on the 3.2 V6's before the 3.6's begin to arrive.
The pitch (esp for SUVs) is that it more than pays for expected brake pad work down the road?
pricey: 3/36 is $843; 4/60 is $996.
Thoughts?

Here is my Touareg predicament. I bought an '04 T-reg in Dec. I have made 2 payments on the car and I am now faced with a $1200 repair that vw is refusing to take responsibility for although it is clearly a manuf. oversight. The transmission line rubbed against the frame until a hole wore into the line. Now the whole front end must be removed to replace it, hence the $1200 repair bill. I bought it at 57k mi...asking the dealer if it had been looked at-they said YES their VW dealership looked at the car and it was fine. Obviously they LIED!! I just passed 60k mi which was the fact warranty but I feel that the prob had to have started before 60k mi. SO to all of you potential T-reg owners out there...BE WARNED!!! They told me that this hasnt been a commonly reported problem which is baffling to me if all of the T's were built the same way! The car was never wrecked so I dont understand how the buyer can be made responsible for the close proximity of this line to the car's frame. I love the T,just very disappointed in the way VW has responded to a manuf issue.
The car is in perfect (excellent) condition inside and out, has 26,450 miles on it, standard AM/FM singel CD player, fold-in mirrors, Xenon headlights, moon roof, new tires... no other major options.
I was thinking about purchasing it and trying to resell it, as Private Party value is between $26,100-$27,100.
Is it worth it, or should I just give it back to VW?

Volkswagen credit is now offering base model up to msrp $40,000.00
$499/Month. 39-Month Lease
2008 Touareg 2 V6
$0.00 Due at Signing/
(including destination charges)
Anybody hearing any better deals?
Price:$36,798(doesnot include tax and title fee, $500 below invoice)
Lease: $463/month, 39 months, 12k/year
Res. Value: $21,200
3.4% and money factor: 0.000144
Is a deal?
$463/month, 39ms, 12k/y
MSRP is $49650 - dealer's selling price is $45311 (500 under invoice).
39 months, 12K/yr - 53% residual and money factor of .00098.
Total money due at inception = $748 out of pocket and monthly payment is
$572 + tax (dealer said this was for A-Tier credit thru VW Credit Inc).
When i did the math on the monthly payment using the selling price provided, the residual comes out at 55.7 which may be appropriate given 12K and options i chose though i'm suspicious given 39 months). I've asked for hard copy documentation which i have told i will receive. What sort of a 'real deal' is this...Other dealers have not come close yet.
I don't know if their numbers are correct, as far as the lease program, but that's a pretty good payment on a $49K MSRP vehicle, with only $748 upfront...

I FAXED the above proposal. At first, they were at $498; then dropped to $490. Finally, they agreed to $486.
Incidentally, the $36,302.62 is the sell price implicit in VW's nationwide Tourareg lease Ad...

This includes dealer contribution of 2,188.38 and $1,000 from VW. The dealer is...

What do you think? The sales price seems good but how do the rest of the numbers look to you? Bear in mind we have to pay full sales tax on the purchase price in Illinois.
Thanks in advance...
