Is there any factory incentives on GTI 1.8T? I think there might have been some for Jetta 'cos I've been seeing specials on Jetta, i.e. cheap lease and stuff.

Right now, there is $1200 dealer cash on all '02 VW's (except the 337). However, you will not be able to get the special finance or lease rates with this rebate.

how accurate are the invoice prices on Edmunds? are those from the manufacturer or an estimate?

The are 100% accurate, but, in the case of VW, they do not include the port prep and floorplan reserve fees that are charged to the dealer and are legitimate additions to the invoice price.

I want to try and fight this time around, but I hear it can be difficult. The dealer here charges $289.30 last time I bought a VW from them. I am out of state now and plan to do my own paperwork and paying sales tax, registration, etc. I want to try and not pay this if possible.

Well, you have been busy today!!!

What an effort...talk about the old college try...
Only correction is the Incentive Money...It is just that, it is not a rebate, it does
not go to the customer, and therefore is not taxable to the customer...In addition, it is $1250; not $1200...
Again, Great Job http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Where I live, that "fee" is 100% negotiable. If they try to press the point, get up from your chair, say "No thank-you", and start walking towards the door. No dealer will let you walk out of the showroom if you refuse to pay it. In New England, the paperwork burden is 10 minutes with a typewriter to fill out a form. That costs them less than filling the tank with gasoline.
