$1000 over invoice. I think shooting for the $500-$800 mark is a reasonable goal unless you get the occasional dealer one offs.
I'm struggling to find a V6 + nav without a load of other options...
Has anyone worked out what the VIN cut off number will be before the dealers start to mark up the $1200. I'm thinking it's going to be around the 42XXX number ? Thoughts?
I dont understand your prediciment... Just order what you want! It is not a piece of fruit. Or is it just that you do not want to wait for the factory to make it??? I hear people talk this way a lot. 'The dealer did not have the car i wanted" etc. Sorry, but it just keeps the ball in the dealers court which bothers me. You tell them what you want and they may even give you a very good deal on something on the lot. Either way you win. GL
I was looking for Blue silver with Nav. Dealer I spoke to done a great job researching (other locations), but they never had what I wanted and couldn't see any out there even in second color. I take that answer and move on or use it to my advantage in order to get the price down on something thats not my first/second choice (of color).
As you say ordering automatically puts on the $1200 price increase + reduces my negotating power. I'm still looking into other states ..maybe the car (and the price) is out there somewhere !
Thanks for the feedback ... good luck to all who are out there haggling at the moment :-)
Keep the comments coming !
I leased my current Jetta back in 2002 and they had to drive the car from another dealership which was about 200 miles away. BUT, they did tell me such.
Many dealers sell cars that have been used for test drives as new vehicles.
i think you your case, its the lack of dealer communication that is getting you upset.
Good luck and enjoy your new ride!!
thanks
How about your cost?
Thanks
Thanks.
which I'm semi-skeptical about. Dealer will look monday in neighboring states for match. This $$$ is for a pre Jan 1st vehicle. This seems like fair deal any comments??
Thanks for the feedback on your pricing.
Discussed ordering with my dealer here in the NW to get the spec ( v6 + nav+ xenon)I'm after.
No matter what I order he's giving me $500 over invoice, I think this is a good deal.
Waiting on a delivery date from him at the moment.
thanks
I'm ready for some snow !!!!!!!BTW 3.9% for 3 years. Will keep you posted.
Posting dealer names and locations is fine. Thanks,

VW is also giving $500 rebate on Touaregs these days.
Most buyers don't know about "dealer hold-back", a VW dealer makes at least $1000 for V8 even if he sells you AT invoice price because Touaregs don't last in dealer lots for long and the dealer pockets in the "maintenance fee" paid to them by VW.
Some dealers don't even pass on factory rebates to the customers.
So anybody who bought Touareg above Invoice price or even at invoice price for that matter got ripped off!
Hope this helps potential buyers and make recent buyers go green!
I really hope VW get everything together on this
model as I can see a future with the touareg, but at the moment it's just too risky.
I would think another 6-9 months VW will everything ironed out from reliability to Customer service.
Keep up the comments and happy motoring !

"For a long time, Volkswagen sought to stay on the sidelines of Detroit's so-called incentives war, stressing the product over "the deal."
But with its US sales in steady decline, the German automaker is shifting gears and ratcheting up the rebates, free options and other sweeteners that US consumers have come to expect when they shop around for a new vehicle."

Not trying to be skeptical but sounds too good to be true, though I hope not because I'm considering buying one.
The throttle tip in just off idle is a little weird, but otherwise no complaints about the v6 and how it handles the mountains. It gets over 18 mpg cruising at 80mph. Cruises 90+ in utter silence. My drag racing days are over, and I dont tow, so I dont need the v8 or its lousy gas mileage. Premium gas is over $2 a gallon here. The way this thing is geared, I have no worries about jeep trails. I love the hard seats, and my wife will get used to them. Put the x5 seats in the car and they wont be able to keep the soccer mommies out of them.
More later

Thanks.
In response to the Raliegh dealer... if it includes the current incentive I'm not sure it's a great deal. It would be about like a $500 over invoice deal less the $2,000 of course.
