Walked into my FIRST volkswagen dealership yesterday in Norwood, MA and let me tell you...I was in heaven! There was a blue R32 in the front window and GTI's were all around me...even though it took 5 minutes for a damn sales person to ask if I was being serviced, I really didn't mind being there. So after selecting what I wanted in my GTI (4 dr, sunroof+18'' Detroits-in grey), they gave a shocking number...$28,600 with tax (6.25%). This was for a 2011 GTI too. I told them I was willing to pay $19,000 CASH and after speaking to the manager, they said they weren't able to bring the price down any lower (liars!). I walked out. (hopefully they'll call me back later)
I was looking for a new 2010 GTI (I'm sure they should have some because the 2011 came out a few weeks ago). I was also hoping that it would be $3000-$2000 cheaper since its an older model but nope they kept the price the same...
So right now I'm gonna try other dealerships in MA for a new 2010 GTI but what do you guys think? Should I just look for a used 2010 GTI with my 19k cash or keep trying to bargain the price down? I think with 19k cash the dealership should bring the price down a LOT since they don't have to work with a bank or have to wait for monthly payments to come in. Plus I'm sure they have GTI's that has been sitting there for months.
