The dealer is Bob Lewis VW in San Jose, CA. To Touareg: If you are buying a Honda, shop for the absolute lowest price. If you are buying a Touareg, shop the service center. Buy from the best one.
2003 GLX 4Mo Wagon purchase
by revruss on Tue Dec 23 16:03:34 PST 2003
Just purchased a new, "punched" 03 Passat GLX 4Mo wagon from Bob Lewis VW in San Jose, CA for $26,950. That's $6,280 off MSRP, basically 20% less than list, or one year's depreciation. If you can find one with a color acceptable to you, I'd say go for the '03. The only difference between the years is that the '04 has a new wheel style. My wife likes the '03 wheel better, anyway. Don't get a cd changer--they're not that reliable. Get an iPod and connect kit. No more changing disk magazines in the trunk.

The Edmund's Price is for the Base Price...they clearly, or maybe not so clearly, point out that it is plus Destination-$550....$26,114. 550 __________ $26,664. What all neglect to add is Port Prep($25) & FloorPlan Interest Reserve($92). Interestingly enough...if you fill out a quote form for Cars.com or Carpoint, both of these items Are included...These are fees that are just like the attendant fees on your phone bill or cable bill...you have to pay them as part of those services or sooner or later the plug will be pulled. The Dealer does not have any control over the Manufacturers Accounting Policies, as we have none over the Phone or Cable Cos. Accounting Policies. We all just pay the bills... I have contacted Edmund's about these omissions, but I guess my email was not too clear, and I will have to try again...they simply asked me if I thought there response was OK and they hadn't said anything. Advertising Fees are added only for those areas that have them...for example, I pay none...In San Jose it is $75...In Sacramento it is $100, I think.... So there you have it...Go get your GLX and Enjoy!!!!
What is in an Invoice...
by vwguild on Sat Dec 09 20:18:57 PST 2000
OK...nothing doing with himself; so let's just get on with it... On every invoice there are two columns...one is the *invoice* amount the other is the *retail* amount. The Invoice amount includes the following items that are due and payable by the dealer... They are as follows: Base Price of the car Option costs on the car Port Prep Flooring Reserve Any *appropriate ad fees*...some dealers are members of an area ad association; others are not. Here in Monterey we do not have this fee. San Jose & San Francisco do. These fees can vary from $75 to $100 for VW in No. Calif. I cannot speak to these costs in LA, or in any other part of the country. And finally, Emission carges on specific cars The *Retail* column includes: Base Price of the car Prices of the options Destination Emissions charges on specific cars This is how Destination carries to both sides of the Invoice. The Dealer pays it and the customer pays it back. The same is true with the Emissions charges. On those cars, 2.0L Jettas, for example I pay an Invoice amount of $99 and the Retail amount is $100. Destination is the same on both sides $525. Bottom Line...A percentage amount over Invoice should be just that. 3%, 4%, or 5% of the Total Amount the Dealer pays. It is important to note here that this figure represents the Dealers GROSS profit on that car. Subtracted from that amount is Federal Income tax, Cost of Sales, Overhead, including Employees Health Ins., 401K contributions, Salaries for Admin. Staff, Electricity, Lease or mortgage paymnents on the property and the list goes on, as it does for any Privately owned business. I hope this has helped clarify what is included in an Invoice.
