Iowa Volkswagen Car Dealers

Hello Marc: If you are purchasing a car thru the Supplier Purchase Program - it guarantees you the best purchase price, Period. You will be buying the car for Invoice plus any available offers, whether you lease, finance or cash. Now in regards to the lease, the residual value is set by VW (model, term and mileage will determine that number) and can not be changed - the money factor, much like any interest rate has a buy rate and a retail rate. The Dealer may adjust this number and still granting you a great deal. The dealer also may choose not to participate on the Supplier Program altogheter, so talk to your salesman an put him to work for you. I'll be delighted to work some numbers for you - if you live in the Midwest (IA,MN,NE,IL,MO)

I purchased a cargo van a few weeks ago dirt cheap and thought as a side note maybe it could be used for the cash for clunkers deal. Now I see that it has been passed, but requires the annual ownership, registration, and insuring of the trade-in vehicle to qualify. I was just doing the numbers in my head of that $4,500 credit, my normal vehicle trade-in for around $5,000, and then the current $1,300 diesel tax credit. That would be one solid deal. Especially if you were to get a TDI for the $18 and change described a couple posts above. Good luck!

Appears to be too good to be true!:) Was there a trade in involved, or did you put any money down? Was the car new or a demonstrator? Would appreciate some details! In any event, enjoy your car!

Just ran manheim auction reports and average value is 17600 for v-6 and 18400 for v-8. Average miles are from 16000 - 24000 miles. The black-book is at 17800 with 18000 - 24000 miles. They are right on their numbers.I would still however shop around alittle.You may pick up an extra 300-500 dollars for your trade.

You can't get retail for your truck off a vehicle that your buying at invoice.Try to see if you can sell it yourself.Might take you a few months and you can get the best of two worlds.
