3. The miles weren't going to get any lower on the truck.
4. As a result of 2 and 3, I was already over the bell curve for maximizing the dollar amount I would receive for the truck.
5. The truck has been a part of the Takata recall for over two years now, and I was tired of GM postponing airbag replacements because they keep swearing that their Takata airbags are different from everyone else's Takata airbags.

What kind of did you get?
$30.5K sticker discounted down to $25.9K. They gave me $8K for the truck.
All said and done after taxes, tags, and trade, it was $19.5K financed at 2.75%.

lyfe is strong around here.
First one I've seen that isn't Pornflower Blue or Uranus Gray.
I was going to originally get an S, but after comparing the halogens to the LEDs, I opted to go for the Rabbit since the S doesn't have an LED headlight option. When the dealer looked, there were only two available: one in white and one in black. I guess most everybody opted for the Rabbit-specific colors.

that’s a solid deal. We don’t get much discounts on these here... 2/3k tops.

Really solid deal IMO. 2.75% is

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

I was surprised on the margin of discount. I guess the west coast gets all of the JL discounts and the east coast gets all of the VW discounts.

Indeed. VW had 1.9%, but I would have had to give up $2K in discounts to get the offer. After doing the math, there was only something like a grand difference between the 3.59% the dealer was quoting me versus the VW 1.9%. It didn't make sense. Even less so when I found out my credit union had actually redid their loan rates to 2.75%.

Good is good.
So, now isn't the time to tell you that the GTI that came in for the stalling issue... VW issued a buyback immediately?
If it happens, it happens. That would just mean I get all muh moniez back.

So far, I really like it. It is much quieter than my truck and much more fuel efficient. Of course, I'm already needing to borrow a truck because the rear axle in the El Camino is on its way out the door and I'm looking to pick a replacement up.

They're really great little cars.

My friend had an 06 GTI for years and he loved it. The only thing I hated about prior VWs, and his included, was the clutch always had a garbage feel to it. When I drove a GLI back in May, I was happy to see that they had fixed that issue. I picked the GTI over the GLI because of the hatch.
And that's how it usually goes for me. Originally, I just said that I can use the El Camino if I need to pick up something like a trans or a motor. It is a little more difficult when the El Camino needs that part I'm picking up. Luckily, my dad has a truck.
