Quirk Started at $23,100. I told them I had 2 qoutes a little lower than that already and they immediately went down to $22,500.They are one of the biggest volume dealers for VW in the country so they supposedly get some additional incentives other dealers dont get(at least thats what they told me).
Do yourself a favor and start your inquiry through the internet with Quirk. I dealt with Jenn Bishop who is their Finance manager and also handles a lot of their internet inquires. If you go to the showroom you will still work with a salesman. Request Michael(African American, doesnt work Fridays) Nice guy and very knowledgable on vehicle.
They qouted me about $500 below blue book(good cond.) on my trade. I got them up another $300 pretty easily....and it was around the same price 2 other dealers had given me.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
$21150+TTL, Sticker $24895
MSRP: $33,815
Offered to me for $31,799
Anyone else buy this version and if so, what did you pay? According to Edmunds invoice is 31,493. This was the price for lease deal however I know you can negotiate price or what they call "Cap Cost" in a lease the same way you can when you're buying.

I'm not much of a car person, and so I'm just looking for very general advice about this purchase from the knowledgeable people on this forum. Things I'm concerned about: The Honda was pretty low-maintenance--what can I expect from the Passat? Is $21,995 a fair price? How should I haggle with the dealer? Are vinyl seats suitably resistant to the depredations--i.e., vomit, juices, etc.--of children, or should I hold out for leather?
Any feedback is welcome! Thanks.
Dealer offering $23980. The car has around 2500 miles on it. It was likely used as the test-drive model by the dealership
Is this a good deal for technically a one year old car, since they 2008 Passats are out already ??
This is in the Denver-Boulder area.
the dealer told me 24,900 plus all fees. he said that is invoice price. i think that this quote is VERY high considering that it is simply a base and its only option is alloy wheels and that the 2008 are already here. if anyone can shed some light on me it woul dbe very apprecited. thank's a lot to everyone in advance

Strange as it sounds, my tip is to pay close attention to the specific car you're going to buy when you test drive it. I ran into a couple of new Passats when looking for the 03 that had strange noises (whinier engine, small squeaks) when compared to other identical models I'd driven on the test drive so didn't buy them. Don't know if that made a difference, but it seems like VW reliability is very hit or miss and tied to specific cars. If it sounds good at the start, hopefully it will stay that way.
As for the seats, the Passat has leather, which is much better than cloth for kids, but I think the vinyl would be even better. I had an old Mercedes with the vinyl inside, and it was great, you could even use Formula 409 to clean it. Good luck with the VW purchase.
can somebody tell me what is a fair price for a new passat 2008 turbo(cheapest model).i would like to buy one and im not familiar with usa prices..im european by the way .i live in sarasota.thank you !
I'm in the Houston area, looking for a Turbo. Has anyone had any experiences with dealers in the Houston area?

$0 down ($550 due at signing)
Pmts: $366 + Tax
MF: 0.00115
Residual: 50% (MSRP $28,655)
Does this look like a good deal? Milwaukee, WI
Shopping in the Mid-Atlantic for a 2008 Passat Wagon, Turbo (base) manual, no options.
MSRP: 25,900 approx.
Getting offers of 22,400 +TTL as of end of January, 2008. Going to pick the most friendly dealer within the week.
17" wheels on a 36mo, 12K lease? I am rolling $6400 of neg into the deal,
and the dealer is telling me $560 with all incentives and taxes. MSRP
is $30,134. i would think it would be lower.
It's in pretty good shape; however, it needs the 40K mile service immediately which wasn't an expense I wanted, but I got the seller to knock off $2000 from his price. It looks like it may have an oil leak that needs addressing and the brake light recall still needs doing too. Good thing it's still under warranty! The price was still higher than I had wanted to pay, but these cars are in high demand so I had to swallow hard and just go for it. We really wanted it.
We plan to run it on Bio-diesel as soon as the tank needs filling again. The previous owner filled it up with regular diesel just before we bought it, which was nice of him. He messed up the title tho while filling it out; so, I'll have to wait until I have clear title before I can take it into the shop. Guess we won't be driving it until all that is done.
I'm also buying an '05 Jetta TDI with only 36K on it this coming week too. This one is local so any issues can be delt with more easily. Will be getting that one for $17K.
Today I just purchased a brand new (mocha brown exterior, latte machiato interior) 2008 Passat "Lux" with the additional options of the DVD Navigation (NV), rear side airbags (4X4) and Dynaduio (9VE) for $455 above dealer's invoice. After getting the additional $1500 rebate and trading in my 2001 Toyota 4x4 and got 10K for it, the final cost was $20554. Purchased in Daytona Beach, FL...
MSRP: $33940
Dealer's Invoice: $31579
Edmund's True Market Value (TMV): $32088
Actual Purchase price w/Rebate included: $30554
Total Savings below MSRP:$3386.
Yesterday, however, another VW dealer would've had me pay 680 over invoice, another 500 for transport fees to his lot, and 1K on rebate, and 10,500 on my truck. He was absolute in his price for the EXACT same vehicle color, options, etc...
I confronted him about the rebate, letting him know that VW offered 1500 for rebates, and of course he played it off by saying he wasn't aware of it (sure he wasn't).
I of course did not reveal to him that I already knew what MSRP was, what the Dealer invoice was, and more importantly what the TMV was. Bottom line, I would've paid almost $1500 more than I did had I not done my research using Edmunds.com.
The point in all this is that, if it wasn't for edmund's I wouldn't have known whether or not I was making a good deal for ME or for the Dealer. Today, it was a win-win situation for both the dealer I worked with in Daytona Beach (vs. Jacksonville) and me getting a fair deal all the way around. So I just wanted to say THANKS to Edmunds, and to everyone else who shares their good and bad experiences on here, for making me a much more informed consumer....God Bless the USA!!!
I am buying a Passat through a special buyer's program w/my company that offers deep discount off the msrp (it is best not to get specific, but it is in the 20-25% off msrp range). Too good a deal to pass up, after test-driving the car and liking it!
The thing is: I really wanted the Lux trim line, but it turned out VW ended their production year early and I was left with a dilemma... I could only choose from existing cars and there were just a handful, and no Lux's. I found a Komfort that matched my color requirements (exactly) and came with one, minor option that didn't add too much to the MSRP. After some debate, I decided to take it.
After reading some forums, it sounds like I did the right thing because there apparently will be no Lux's for 2009. If that's true (and if the CC models are in the upper 30k range), then it reinforces my feeling I acted correctly.
I was wondering if you all agree. I've read SO MUCH online about the haggles of car-buying, that I thought this was a great way to get a guaranteed great deal.
(btw, I knew that VW had a loyalty rebate but I assume it only applied to VW owners. Even if that isn't true, I still got a great deal--though not quite as great as it would seem if you went purely by Edmunds, etc)

I loved my 02 Passat. The only issue I have is they seem to be unreliable after the warranty expires. I spent over 3000 on repairs after the first 4 years of owning this car (last two years) and had an estimate of over 1500 for current engine problems. Had 82000 miles on engine. I don't know about the reliability of the new models. I think the VW is superior to the Asian and American makers in all areas except for the reliability.
If I decided to purchase the Passat, I would work my lowest deal then ask for an extended warranty for free or for a small fee. It's a fun car to drive. I know all cars have issues, I'm just saying get the extra warranty and you won't go wrong.
TMV price $16,404 (does the cost include CA sales tax?)
Purchase price $15,619 (all inclusive)
VW Credit 6.34%

spending on repairs for a car still under warranty? you are aware VWs warranty on the B6 is 4/50 with 5/60K on powertrain? I am wondering if you are paying out
of pocket on that? very misleading.
I bought my 2001.5 1.8t Passat (manual) at the same dealership and have 145,000 miles on it and virtually no problems. A few headlights here and there (better since I pulled the fuse on the DRLs) and a couple vacuum hoses but other wise just wear and tear issues. Only had to replace brakes front and rear once and original turbo still going strong. Dealer service has been great. Always use 93 octane and always use full synthetic Mobil 1. Even when dealer provided service I brought my own oil. Best car I have ever owned.
23374 OTD, close to Philly. Have to go through the dealer's finance so that they get the commission from the loaner. The loan can be paid off any time without penalty.
Relatedly, I heard that these dealers have 3K in "dealer cash," giving them an extra 3k in cushion. Is this correct? If so should I be looking to get this car down closer to 22K? Thanks very much.
