I got my 2013 GTI Autobahn 4-door DSG (w mats, first aid kit, trunk dividers) for $297XX = 32K OTD.
Purchased this evening my new 2012 CW 4 door 6-spd GTI for $23500 OTD from Russel VW in Baltimore MD. The entire purchase transaction was very smooth. My salesperson Marty Krist was very helpful and knowledgeable. The finance person Chris did not pressure me to buy the extended warranties or any other useless items. Definitely recommend them.
I went into Russell and had a deal lined up for the same car I have now. When I went back to pick it up they lost all my paperwork and renigged on the price we agreed on. They were going to try to double charge me a destination fee even when I told them that it seemed illegal. I ended up buying my car else where for a lot better deal. The Russel sales rep contacted me to see if I was still interested. I filled her in on their loss of sale and the awesome deal I got. You probably had better people to work with.
I've read the forums here and elsewhere and noticed a lot of people paying close to invoice. Is that really the best deal? I was thrown that on both my new VW's and I walked the hell out a few times. I loved hearing the line "there isn't much mark up on these cars" that the sales folks gave me.
