HOW DID I DO?
I see a lot of information on leasing a 2.0 but I want to buy one. Am in SW Pennsylvania and am looking at the 2.0T with the P2S Pacakge and 4A3 butt warmers the Blue Graphite color.
MSRP shows approx $27,455 with invoice according to Edmunds of $25,372 and TMV of $26,222. Anyone have experience with OTD pricing with this vehicle?
Thanks in advance! :confuse:
After contacting the internet sales manager and settling on the basic terms for the lease, I drove over to the dealership so they could look at my trade (a 2004 Honda Accord LX).
Long story short, I ended up leasing the car for 36 months with 12K miles per year. They paid off the Accord plus $300. I gave them my first payment of $300/month and I was out the door. I am really happy with the car so far and am extremely happy I upgraded the wheels.
My out the door price including sales tax and fees was $300/month with $600 down ($300 out of pocket and the $300 from my trade).
I think I did pretty well considering the current promotion VW is offering on the VE (without the alloy wheels) with the $600 down - would have had me at a payment, including tax, of $326/month.
Hope this maybe helps someone on their deal.
$23,000
I had a less than pleasant buying experience to say the least. The car arrived 10 weeks after the order was placed. The salesman never called me to give me updates during the 10 week wait period. I needed to follow up with the sales team to get information about my car. I requested price quotes on accessories for the new wagon via email but never received the correct information except when I finally contacted the dealer by phone.
THE MIDDLE:
The sales manager appraised my current vehicle but never called me with a quote! How rude! Once again I had to f/u with the dealer. The SM said he gave the quote to my salesman. My salesman never called me.
The End:
I told the SM that I didn't want to be represented by the original salesman and the sm agreed.
I financed the car over three years. The dealer marked up the factory offer of 2.9% to 3.9%. A one percent mark up?
The dealer also passed along advertising fees as part of the invoice price and a 25 dollar port fee.
The dealer only apologized for all the poor communication along the way. The dealer didn't offer a complimentary first oil change. As for the accessories, I was given the number of the parts department for further assistance.
Can someone help me out and tell me if this is a good deal?
06 2.0T. Package 1, and Nav. 1500 miles.
25,195. I'm going crazy trying to find a new vehicle and this one seems to be a potential winner.
Thanks!
Purchase experience was fantastic.
Good deal on the car?
The car is loaded with Sport package #2, Nav. system and the MSRP was $38,400. After "some" negotiations, I was able to drop the purchase price to $34,400 ($800 below the invoice). The car is fantastic, drives like a most superior, luxury cars out there.
Any way, just wanted to share my experience the the price.
2006 3.6 Black/Black Passat
Luxury Package #1
Dynaudio
- $1000 cash out of pocket at delivery (includes first payment)
- 36-month VW Credit Lease
- 12-miles per year
- $474 per month (taxes included)
I am sure the dealership did not give it away, but in any case I was happy with the purchase because for this price this is the best car out there. I looked at a few BMWs and a car with all the options would have been around 40K.
Will see how this car performs in a long run...
The car is great, drives like most luxury sedans out there.
06 Passat 2.0T. package 2, 17in wheel, rear airbag
before tax $25,500
docs & registration fee $200
The tax here is 7%
Any comments? opinions? Thanks!
Invoice:$27,299
Price: MSRP was $39,010; agreed upon $36,800. I don't mind leaving some money on the table over invoice (I figure around $900), but after reading some of the "deals" on 2006 sedans, I'm thinking I could have paid a lot less. Any Comments?? They've got my $500, no papers have been signed.
I would suggest check out www.fitzmall.com and compare some of the prices that they offer on Passats. I actually printed out few pages from that website and took it with me when purchased my Passat last week. What I have learned was that even invoice price is still negotiable as I paid about $800 less than the invoice (actual invoice from VW, the dealer shoed me and compared to Edmunds.com).
In any case they were very happy with the deal so it looked like they did not give it away. So here is something to think about, invoice is not the bottom price!
good luck
The dealer is in Mpls. It is the Deep Black with the Macciato interior. Here are the details:
2006 3.6 Passat w/ Lux Pkg 1, floor mats & trunk liner
MSRP: $33,515.00
Invoice: $30,801
Cost: $27653 (Not including TTL)
Got VW dealers incentive of $3500 and Costco Auto Program discount. What do you think? I want to make a decision today.
What do you think? What am I missing?Thanks!!!! :confuse:
Check fitzmall.com and you'll see that most, if not all, of their Passats are offered below invoice. Your deal seems fair to you and the dealer, but you may be leaving some money on the table. It would seem that you should be able to get them below invoice.

I'm in Minnesota. But I will take a look at fitzmall.com.
Thanks!
Chris
also can anyone address what the maintenance issues and history is like with the Passat? Consumer reports doesn't recommend it...says it's unrealiable (has a spotty maintenance record). I'd like to make a decision by friday. i would appreciate any info i get. also it seems that all passats run on premium gas...is this accurate as well?
thanks again all!
Why bother to take the car, since they're stealing from you?
You can get a new 2006 Passat with a Package #1 for roughly that price.
Thanks Fish Man.
(On a side note - Hey, look everyone! Deflation is occurring with respect to new car prices! That should make you feel a little better about $3/gallon gas!)
Up until now, i've looked at 2-3 dealerships and the prices that i've got until now are 27,300 for a base model.
What do you think would be a good price, considering i don't need dealer financing?
I've been looking also at the above posts and checked fitzmall.com, and i've seen people getting prices well below the invoice ( i mean thousands). Thanks a lot everybody!
"2006 Volkswagen Passat Value Edition Automatic = $21068. plus any options, sales tax, DMV license fees, doc fee and CA tire fee, MSRP on this car is $24655.
I have a 1994 Nissan Maxima with 112,000 miles that I'd like to apply via trade-in. Is the above quote a good price? What can I expect to pay for monthly? I would expect $1500 - $2000 for my vehicle.
My last question: Can I expect a lower dollar amount when the 2007 Passat's are out? If so, when are they expected?
Thanks for your assistance,
Mike
I was told by a sales the 07 sedan will come out in late Aug.
Also in the market of a passat 2.0t(non ve)..did you get a quote for it?
Does anyone know reliable source for mfg rebates on cars?
Actually with leasing , the lease price is based on residual value and the newer the car is , the greater the residual value,
you probably wouldn't get as good a price on a '06 than an '07.
Also , your trade in would only be regarded as a wholesale car since mileage is over 100k and its a '94 , I'd say you'd be lucky to get 1500. I have a 95 Toyota Avalon XLS and the best I got was $1500 as a trade in . If I sell it myself, I might get as much as $3000 at this point .
1) Take your time, if you need to buy this week the dealer has the advantage. If you can wait and the dealer knows you can wait then he has to convince you to buy the car now.
2) Let the dealer know you are comparing multiple vehicles so that he has to convince you to buy his car. Even if you are only interested in VW's, pretend you aren't because if you only want one brand of car then the dealer has the advantage.
3) Invoke a higher authority. The salesman always has to consult the manager to make an offer, you can do the same. Any time I received an offer I told the dealer I had to consult my brother, the car expert, first. I rarely called my brother, but this gave me a chance to contact other dealers to see if they would match the offer and also made the dealer have to sit and sweat waiting for me instead of the reverse.
4) Once you find the car you want, find two dealers in the same region who are competitors and play them off one another. They will get frustrated and complain to you about how you are taking away any profit, blah, blah, but in the end they will do as much as they can to keep the competitor from getting the car.
At least this is what worked for me. Good luck!
2007 Passat Wagon 2.0T
w/Cold Weather Pakg. ($225)
w/Rubber mats and liner.($185)
MSRP: $27,215
Invoice: $25,037
Edmunds.com TMV: $26,281
latest offer: $25,050
I've seen many people paying for passat way below the invoice price but they were talking about 2006 passat,not wagon. The sales person said that there isn't much discounts compared to sedan models as they dont have that many wagons in stock.
So I was wondering if this is a good deal for a 07 wagon.
(I live in seattle area.)
I got a black 2.0T wagon with package 2, navigation, and 17" le mans wheels. MSRP was $31,800, invoice $29,216, selling price $29,200. I feel I got a good deal since I got a very fair trade in value on my high miles 2004 Touareg. I think you could work a lower price...I could see $500 below invoice on a well optioned car or a car with an unusual color.
I absolutely love everything about the car, the color, the nav, and even the wheels. Normally I get aftermarket wheels but I don't see a point with the Le Mans wheels. They complement the car perfectly.
1) With $1000 down, a 42 month lease with 10,000 mi pr yr and $1000 Out of Pocket is $334.60 per month.
2) A 36 month lease with 10,000 mi pr yr and $1000 Out of Pocket is $342.56 per month.
Other breakdown is as follows:
$993.28 NJ Tax
$334.50 1st month payment
$129.00 Doc Fee
$7.50 NJ Tire fee
===========
$1698.38
The dealer claims that "these fees are normally what's required up front. You are only putting down $1000. The difference is applied to the lease."
My question: How can I know for sure whether this is a great deal? I know that there is a special lease deal going on right now (42 month/ $1,500 down payment, 12k miles/year for $279 per month plus tax and tags) , but it is not clear whether the quote above is comparable to it. Could the other leasers of Passat out there give me some advices? I would appreciate it.

Is this fair enough?
