Put a deposit on a 2015 Passat SEL Premium
So I came across a Candy White Passat SEL Premium DSG w/Tiptronic. It has 42,700 miles on the ODO. Clean CarFax and proper VW service records, except it wasn't totally clear whether the DSG 40k service had been performed. Pictures of exterior and interior (Titan Black) look good. Original factory warranty is good until 8/2020.
They initially wanted $16,995.00, but I negotiated a price of $14,300.00 (title, registration & state taxes are not included).
The car is located 2.5 hours from me at a VW dealership and they agreed to bring it to another of their associated dealers (KIA) near me. The car will be delivered with a fresh oil & filter change, and a DSG 40k service with the supporting VW service records documenting the aforementioned.
Deal is contingent upon my inspection and test drive.
Lastly, prices are all over the map for the 2015 Passat and Jetta. Don't know if I got a good or great deal at this point. I shifted from the Jetta to the Passat, because ALL dealer's - including independents - were not very willing to deal much on the 2015 Jetta's. I suppose that's because of the popularity/demand for the Jetta.
My current deal is only 100's more than what they want for a similar condition 2015 Jetta SE. Damn near equal for a Jetta SEL and possibly more for fewer miles.
Tell me what you think... car will be here sometime Monday I'm told.
I'll update this thread after I test drive it and share my experience.
