Post I bit the bullet...

I placed my order for a TL-S, White Diamond Pearl, Non-Nav. It should be in 6/13. The Dealers here in Lousiiana were not coming more than $500 off the sticker. All the TLS' are pre-sold when they arrive. I was able to sell my vehicle (95 Avalon) to an individual for $9500. The dealer would have only given me 8k for my trade, and they are letting me run the sale through their dealership for sales tax credit so they're not total jerks. I get discouraged when I read about some of the better deals people are getting elswhere, but I'll get over it. The 2001.5 Passat came in second. For roughly the same price I feel I got a more reliable vehicle with more features and power.

Same deal up here in CT. No budging from MSRP.
I drove 100 miles and got a steal for 30k - takes patience, but for me, it was worth it. Enjoy ther car! I get mine tomorrow! 6/12.

Reading all these posts reminds me of that day 3 weeks ago when I picked up mine. Be ready to have an uncontrollable grin from cheek to cheek during your drive home. Congrats!

Best of luck! I, too, looked long and hard at the Passat (being a former owner) but couldn't get the reliability factor out of my mind.
