Just click on "build a car", year,make,model-then choose your options. Here in the Pacific NW-we don't need to to go to the dealer for a new car.
this is the place that I would purchase it from. Purchase from them before at invoice plus 1% with $500.00 down, wait 3-4 months done...exactly what you want , they even take in trades, provide financing, and the best thing NO Dealer Hassle, can even take a test drive at the dealership and not have to talk to them...
You get all the incentive, bonus, etc...(if avaliable)
Just something to look at...IF you are in the Portland area it-would be the place to go. For others....Sorry.
Sure enough, it's a black 2006 2.0t Passat with dealer plates - rear treatment dominated by new red & clear taillights (are they LEDs? they sure have quick rise/fall times) - front is very similar to new Jetta and Phaeton - side profile is much nicer looking in person than in photos IMO.
Will VWOA will price it competitively?

I'm trying to get more details on money factor, MSRP, residual.
Passat V6
"Overall we're impressed with the new Passat 3.6. VW has built a far superior car dynamically with better handling, more power, more features and more room. Unfortunately, the ride can be a bit choppy with 18-inch wheels (subjective), wind noise is a bit more than we expected and a few interior materials seem to not be up to VW's usually high standards. Those complaints are reaching a bit, though - as a whole package, the new Passat is very good. We give the new 3.6-liter V6 a big thumbs-up for its improved (or finally returned?) German driving dynamics, big torque and horsepower characteristics, improved features and space and overall fun-to-drive character."

I just got back from the dealer and had a chance to inspect and sit in a new Passat. Looks like a GREAT car. It looks like they are going upclass compared to my 04.5 Passat. Details look real good. I just hope the reliablility improves.
MSRP = 27,215
Down = 1,250
Dealer Discount = 476
Cap Cost = 25,489
Money Factor = .00065 (1.56%)
Residual = 59% (for 15K, resid = 57%)
Monthly = 289.01 + tax
So, according to my calculations:
For 15K, monthly = 304 + tax
15K, no down = 339 + tax
Pkg 2, 15K, no down = $354 + tax
FYI:
The horse is performing a "Levade", an extremely complicated maneuver taught after many years of training...the rider, is NOT a jockey, but rather a dressage rider.
The movements of dressage at the very highest levels (haute ecole) were adopted from battle maneuvers... a Levade was used to rise high above an opponent in order to overtake them....

Drive it and you'll like it..
Local dealer gave me these numbers:
M.S.R..P $27440---
RESIDUAL $16464
MONEY FACTOR 00080-----------------------------------------------$1988 CASH-
He hasn't replied to my additional inquiries though. Probably doesn't want his deal shopped around. Looks like he's added some points to the MF.
The residual is correct for a 12K lease (59%), but it looks like either your credit score is a bit lower than required or they are fleecing you a bit on the money factor. The money factor for someone with excellent credit is .00065.
The cash is a bit less than the national program...what was the monthly payment they offerred?

the auto hold one is great
This was an email quote. He doesn't know my credit score. He's trying to get more margin on the financing, apparently. Even .00080 was pretty good, I thought. Until I saw the .00065.
I would do it for 289 plus tax and about 1500 down with no other fees. Pending test drive of course.
Seems most of the product comming out of VW Mexico is plagued with reliability issues...would love to understand why that is so.
Is it 5-600, or 5-6000?
I'd be willing to pay 5-600 for a "genuine" German car.
Although, I suppose it's more important that it's designed/engineered in Germany than built there.
I love the car. I've got the itnermediate version with 2.oT engine and the sunroof.
The car is Built 80% In Germany, The transmission is built in Japan and 1% of the content is from the US.
I Hope this answer your questions!
I took this info from the sticker
As for how much cheaper? I wouldn't be suprised to see it around 20-25%. No tarriffs, no euro-dollar exchange issues, lower freight costs, lower labor costs...
