Pricing/worth it?

[fyrmd]

Found a dealer that will sell me a new JSW for MSRP, not great but better then some dealers I called.
Two quick questions:
First, the MSRP on the window of the car is about $800 more than the suggested MSRP on VW's website. Can the dealer put their own MSRP figures on the window label or is the website not up to date?
Second, I have for the most part bought used cars in the past leaving the big depreciation hit to someone else. For those of you that have made the leap, are these cars worth the 30K the cost?
Thanks much!

The pricing on the VW site doesn't match other pricing I found online, like at Costco's website, or here: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/a5/jettachecklist.htm.

Worth it? I hope so. . .

In terms of worth, it's worth it to you if you think it is. I know that sounds like some sort of fuzzy new age self empowerment line, but it is honestly the way it is. If it's a car you want at a price you can live with, then it's probably worth it regardless of what the final price is...the key is whether or not you can live with the price. If you can't live with the price or will endlessly second-guess your decision, then it might not be worth it.

Dealer msrps are always higher b/c they include fees that the website does not - if it's on the window, it's legit.

As for worth - I agree w/ fyrmd - I personally think the TDIs are a great deal but I might be bias.

Double-check that what you were looking at on the website included transportation -- $750, I believe.

It appear vw.com still lists 2009 Jetta, for example for TDI JSW manual prices are as following:

1. vw.com MSRP+delivery = 23,870 + 700 = 24,570
2. Edmunds 2009 MSRP+delivery = 23,870 + 700 = 24,570, invoice + delivery = 22,503 + 700 = 23,203
3. Edmunds 2010 MSRP+delivery = 24,310 + 750 = 25,060, invoice + delivery = 22,915 + 750 = 23,665.

thus, according to Edmunds 2009->2010 invoice price went up $412 (or 1.8%), delivery went up $50 (or 7%), MSRP went up $490 (or 2%).

given only significant addition to 2010 standard is blue-tooth, it is definetely worth less than 2009 model from invoice/delivery/MSRP in $ #s .

$/euro rate has been on roller coaster ride, from 1.5-1.6 in first half of 2008, to 1.25 in late 2008 earlier 2009, back to 1.45-1.5 lately.
