Looking at ordering a 2006 Jetta TDI

[sputnik]

My wife and I are considering ordering a new 06 Jetta TDI and I have a few questions considering it will be my first new car and my first newer VW.

- Which dealership should I go to in the city? I've heard good things about Fifth Ave and bad things about Northland and Southcenter Fine Cars. Should I just stick with Fifth Ave? Is there anywhere out of the city I should consider?

- How much should I be able to bargain down the price? I understand that its a new generation Jetta and that they havent been on the market for long; but I feel that I still shouldnt pay the sticker price.

- Does anyone recommend a specific sales person? How did the sale(s) go with that person and were you able to swing a favourable deal?

- Anyone have any details on leasing a VW? What rate do they usually give and what percentage of residual do they usually leave you with?

- I understand a number of people have had service issues in the past. How bad is it really? Especially when the vehicle is still under warranty (off warranty work will be done by Concept 1).

Anyone have any other advice that I might find useful? Any information from people that actually work for a VW dealership would be GREATLY appreciated.

new car service should always be done at the dealer no questions on that.. as for the dealerships shop around and haggle with them all no other way around that really.. as far as 5th ave vwsalesguy on here works for 5th and i'm sure if you PM him he can probably work a deal out for you ..

They really don't mark up the car that much.....I expected to see more. I bought my Jetta at Northland after shopping at all three Calgary dealers....they just seemed more hungry for the sale and came up with the best deal. I'm sure it changes depending on how each dealer's sales are for the month etc.

Due to supply and demand there really are no great deals on any TDI 06 Jettas. I would however like the opportunity to earn your business and if you have a valid club membership i will offer an automatic $500 discount over and above anything else i can do for the price. Fifth ave has the best Sales team in the city and the best Service customer satisfaction scores. drop me a line vwsalesguy@shaw.ca or call me @ work 273-2500
