Re[2]: MSRP and Cost of the 97 GLX (long)

[Warren.Gleich@marcam.com]

     Chuck, You might want to travel to buy the car.  Seems the dealers in 
     your neck of the woods are a-holes.  I know plenty of people that buy 
     the car out of state and just bring it back.  Dealerships still honor 
     the warranty.  This way you can get a better price.  By the way I 
     spent $19,600 for our new Jetta GLX in may.  Black on Black leather 
     with Bose Sterio.  It was not to hard to get that price in southern 
     NH, Northern MA.  Good luck and don't give into the bastards.
     
     By the way with Demos, I beleive that over 4000-5000 miles they can't 
     lease the car as new.  So their only choice is to sell.  Use this a 
     bargaining point also.
     
     Warren

     Sorry to depress you all but I bought my '95 Jetta GLX in May of '95 
     brand spanking new with leather, winter package, floor mats etc. for 
     $19,600 + tax and lincense.

Funny you say that...  I was just at a dealer in Virginia Beach called 
Greenbrier VW... and they had a "demo" Jetta GLX they were trying to 
sell.  It was the only GLX on the lot... and I went ahead and test-drove 
the vehicle... even-though it wasn't the color(exterior=Tornado Red/ 
interior=Black leather) that I prefered.  It already had 5,100 miles
but those jerks still wanted to sell the damn car for FULL PRICE 
($24,000).
I told them there was no way they would ever sell me that car for that 
price after those sales-people drove the hell out of it!  Why does car 
shopping have to be such a pain in the ass!!!  It seems that no matter 
where you go... you end up getting screwed...
