I went to the VW dealer today. I found the car I was looking for, a GTI manual with package1. My only concern is that the car already has 170 miles. Do you guys think this is ok? Should I get a discount for that?
Most of the cars at the dealer have 10 to 20 miles and, as you can imagine, that is what I will wish for mine.
Thanks!
Just do a search from the VW.com site for dealers in your area, you can figure out the pkg and options on the car from the msrp listed for each car. If you cannot find another, 170 mi is not a big deal.
BTW, I'm looking at a blk GTI at my dealer, manual, pkg 2, hufs, navigation, ground effects, AND 4500 mi!!, new never been titled. If the discount is right , I will buy it.
take care and good luck.

Thanks for you advice and good luck with your deal.

another question. When I was test driving that GTI I was talking about I saw a sticker on the windshield saying "Scheduled maintenance March 12". Do you know if new cars at dealers are subject to regular maintenance?
It sounds weird to me.
just bought it today, with the 18'' hufs , summer hi perf tires. perfect.
what do you think about
4 door GTI, manual, package#1, 18' hufs for $24000+TL?
Thanks
And, I have some questions about the terms.
What does TTL stand for?
What is the Hufeisen? Is it the brand name of Alloy?
Thank you in advance.
Title
License
Yes.. that is the name of the optional 18" alloys.

It's not the "alloy" used it's the name of the model. They are also known as "Detroit". Most OEM wheels are cast aluminum alloy of some sort.
Forged, spun cast, etc and all the more exotic, lighter, stronger wheels will cost a lot more.
I just purchased a 2-door, 6-speed, Pkg 1 3 days ago. I got the financing deal but the way it works (according to my salesman) is 3.9 percent for 36 months, 4.9 percent for 48 months, 5.9 percent for 60 months and 6.9 percent for 72 months. I ended up paying $22,300 pre TTL. Once I was ready to buy this car I priced it online using the Edmunds True Market Value pricing and then used the dealer quote feature to send it to 3 Volkswagen dealerships in my area. A few hours later my preferred dealership called me and sent me over a quote. I liked the price so I set up a test drive, negotiated my trade-in, did the paperwork and that was it.
Hope this helps.
Never let the saleman to add those B/S fee into ur car. Do more research on the pricing stuff. It took me for a month dealing w/ several dealers thru emails and phones (around 10 dealers) to get this deal. Good Luck!!
Mine is C/W 4 door, w/ DSG, 18" Hufs, Pkg 1. w/ 3.9% for 3 yr.
Total $ 24.4K
With or with out taxes?
$29,740.00 OTD.
Not sure how well I really did. I can't escape the feeling that I could have worked them down another $500 or so...but at the end of the day this was the exact car I wanted and I was getting tired of the back-and-forth w/Herb Tarlick Jr. I was told aftewards that invoice was $28,9xx...if that's the case I guess I came out alright.
yes i know, that is what i was trying to say; its not a 'brand' like bbs, (it may be made by them), its just the name of that style of wheel. I thought i heard it was a special kind of alloy, i guess not.
Just purchased an awesome red 07 gti 4dr manual basic package. Had to shop around at a couple of dealers and some internet sales. Found a good local dealer in the end. TTL bumped the price to 24k.
A tip about the mat kit. Get it locally at the dealership for 72$. Its just the four mats without the trunk mat.
Thanks!
The GTI comes stock with 17 inch wheels. Vw has other 17's that you can equip the car with, but since its just a different look, as oppossed to a bigger, more expensive wheel like an 18 inch would be, maybe they could swing it for ya if you don't like the stock 17's.
TMV has that at 27323 w/o wheels and mats. Nice... what should I negotiate towards a 4-door, DSG, pkg. 2?
Thanks!
Car is being transported from port, so I haven't seen the actual window MSRP, but all my info put it at ~ $27,800. I went into dealership looking to pay 27 even (after researching TMV and Kelly Blue book prices) and that's what I got, so I'm satisfied. I don't think I could have done much better - there weren't a lot of grey 4 dr DSG's in my area (NE Ohio - Midwest), so I didn't think I could do a better deal unless I went with another color or some other change.
Now I just want to get my hands on the actual car!
Thanks!
Oh what a blast to drive, its being so long since my last stick shift.
So much for zoom zoom, now its time for vroom vroom!!!!!!
Thanks, John.
Just picked up my 07 4d with DSG - after having driven a manual for last 13 years, gotta say I'm loving the DSG. Pretty much feels like a manual, performs like a manual; all with the ease of an automatic. Or maybe I'm just getting old !
White 4-door GTI with Package 1 and 6-speed manual
3 years/36K miles
$328/month
No money down, except inceptions, tax, security, first month, etc. ($1800)
So the 328/month does not include tax. Thoughts? Seems a little high to me...
I test drove the car yesterday and fell in love...thanks in advance for any advice!
i know i want a black 2007 GTI w/ DSG. and i am planning to buy it in 2 months using carbuyingtips.com as a resource.
what is the big difference between 2 door vs. 4 door?
weight? speed? style?
and what prices should i be looking at bc this is the month of July and most dealerships are trying to bring in the new 08 GTIs.
help appreciated.
j-
Ummm... I think the big difference is the number of doors?

Looks like the 4-door is $500 more than the 2-door.

2007 GTI 4-door, Pkg 1 and 2, 18" wheels.
Minor curb rash on one wheel.
6-speed manual.
Red with Black interior
Seller wants $22,000 but I could probably get it for $20,500.
Good deal?
KBB only has 2006 used car values, and it says an 06 is worth between 20 and 21k but this is an '07.
