Need help on buying a 2000 Jetta

[Jdr050@aol.com]

OK.. the dealer really screwed me tonight!  The price of $21.5K is out the 
door.  Adding taxes, doc. fee and all the options I want brought the cost to 
$24K.  That is ridiculous!!!  I used the internet to gather info on dealer 
cost.  Here's what I came up with:  

Dealer invoice:         $18,164.00 (Jetta GLS VR6)
Destination charge:       $525.00
Luxury Pack (PJ3)       $1,037.00 (15" rims & moonroof)
Monsoon sound:           $261.00
Automatic trans:           $856.00
CD changer                  $500.00
Doc. fee:                     $200.00         
6% sales tax:             $1292.00 
Total cost:                $22,835.58 <----- Can this be the true cost 
                                                          the dealer buys it 
for?

What the heck can I offer them?  $23,000.00?????

Everyone's who's bought a new Jetta recently, PLEASE HELP!!!!! I wanted to 
spend between $21-22K on this car.  Is it possible or has the price on 2000 
Jettas gone that high?
