So I just got home from dinner after hacking out a deal with my salesman. I got them down to $500 over dealer invoice...I am really happy to have made the decision about going ahead and buying my new car now. If I had waited till spring I would have had to get: new tires, my stupid check engine light fixed, new suspension and I would have paid about 2 to 3 thousand more. And there is a possibility of no GLX with the new model (like all of you have heard). So I took the plunge and I am already thinking about supercharging it with the made up money (which should smoke the new motor then anyway!) Anyway just thought that I would tell you guys about my experience "flame me" if you will, but if you are on the fence then it's time to buy! I think that today being the end of the month really helps too. My salesman said that they can count this as a sold unit so to VW it puts them one ahead for November.
I wanted to get a GTI VR6 at first, but there were none with the color combonations and from two different dealerships they told me no more were being produced till April. So I got the last Galactic Blue / Beige leather with Northeast emissions out of Boston in a 5 speed. If anyone else is wanting one don't wait they will be gone soon. I think that the Jetta GLX in a standard transmission is end-of-lifed...so buy one if you can!
Thanks love the site...fire up those group buys!!!! It's mod time!!!

Re: Good deal on my new VW!!! (Tugz_Vr6)

Hey Tugz_Vr6
Are you still planning on getting a 2002 Jetta GLX? Not that my price and stuff would take me away from the new motor (which should be sweet) but have you any new info about the availability of the GLX in a 6 speed? Or are you going to get a GLI instead? And yes I will let you all know about it. The SC would be sweet!

Re: Good deal on my new VW!!! (DGMVW)

Well, actually it sounds like this is what is going to be happening, I am 75% sure of this...
Jetta GLI 24V VR6 will only come with the 6Speed manual
Jetta GLX 24V VR6 will only come with the Tiptronic
I am waiting for the latest news from my salesman, if this is true I will change my order to a loaded up GLI w/leather, 17"s, Technology package...everything...
I should be hearing news sometime next week

Sweet man good luck! Hope that it works out for ya. Is the price right? Hope that they work out a good one for ya.
The GLI will be sweet. I hope that it actually comes with everything that you want. I have heard that there will be no climatronic and no rain sensing wiper, but who knows. Overall as long as you love the car that;s all that matters!

I don't think the GLI's will have a lot of options avaiable, just my 2 cents.
