2. The 2005 Touareg seems to be available. I have been offered:

These are "cash deals", which is not very common lately (it seems) here in Northern California.
Comments welcomed.
Premium Plus
19" Wheels
Electronic Parking Assist
Rear Differential Lock
OnStar Telematics
Total price before tax and after $3500 incentive is $45,866.
Any thoughts?
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.
Thanks.

Offroad Gray
Anthracite Leather
Bi Xenons
Sound 1
Premium Package
Trailer Hitch ($866 - ouch!!)
$38,875 (no taxes in NH)
I talked to almost 5 dealers, but only one could find in Chicago area with Navi (package#4 not included 4 corner suspension- packages#5).
One quoted $39700.00, but could not find one in whole central region.
Other 2-3 dealers couldn’t find one too.
Finally one did, and giving me for $40900.00, and will be delivering in 2 weeks.
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
Good luck on your car search
I bought a new 2004 Touareg V8 with...
Premium Plus Pkg
19" wheels
$43,800.
this came out to be $3800 below Dealer Invoice.
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
Does anyone have any advice ?
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?

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.
Navigation I & Sound Sytem II
Convenience Pckg
Bi-Xenon
Park asisst
Winter package
It is also financed by VW.
Also, the build date for the car is April 2004. Would this date be late enough to give me less problems?
I appreciate any advice anyone can provide.
Thanks
2005 V6 T Reg
Off road gray
Xenon
for $35328 (includes everything except 6% sales tax and tag.)
2005 V8
w/ Option Package #3 (aka Premium Plus Package)
w/ Electronic Parking Assistance
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.
Hope this helps.
This comes out to invoice plus 4% (plus TTL of course.)
Is this a good deal??
If they have one on the lot, they may be more inclinded to discount.
Offroad Gray/Beige Leather
Pretty much loaded
-Premium Plus Package (Nav, Xenon, Air Suspension, etc.)
-4 zone climatronic a/c
-Trailer Hitch
-Park Assist
-Winter Package
MSRP $54,104
I paid $44,104 + TTL
Deal was at Classic VW in Mentor, Ohio. They were very helpful, and the car is amazing
Thanks to everyone at this site.
Also, does anyone know how to make the tire pressure warning light reset, or do I have to go to the dealer??
Thanks - jh

-Tire Pressure Monitoring System
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?
Thanks in advance.
He says he can make me a great deal on it.
Any experience in buying demos, how much of a discount they offered you. What should I suggest?
Thanks
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?
Best of luck.
