     That's true.  There is an availability issue with the VR6 engine, 
     causing a supply of GLXs that cannot meet demand.  Therefore, dealers 
     know that they do not have to give up much in order to sell the car.
     
     Demand for the VR6 has been tremendous in Europe since 1995, where the 
     great percentage of VW cars are sold.  And unlike many other car 
     manufacturers, VW is not reliant on the US market.  So we get the 
     dregs, so to speak.  How many GTI VR6s have you seen in the last 
     month? I've not seen one in any lot for quite some time.
     
     Enough of the banter, the point is: doing homework on the car will 
     take you further (lower the price more) in negotiations with a dealer 
     than the traditional bang-'em-up haggling.  You guys agree?

I did a bit of haggling and some arguing but not that much. BUT, and 
it's a big but, my stepfather is in the auto industry and he knows the 
owner of the store.  But just to show you how popular the GLX's are, he 
wouldn't even sell it to ME for cost.  He said, "why should I?  I can 
sell this car for MSRP no prob".  Which I don't think is totally 
salesman bullshit; there is some truth to it...
