Sounds like an excellent price on one of the few suv's I'd consider owning... The V8 must be sweet.

I like the Touareg a whole lot. I just wish the V10 Turbodiesel model would actually make an impact on U.S. sales without emissions. The V8 is still sweet though... which color did you get?

Congrats on the new ride. How did you get nearly 10k off the sticker price? Was it a demo or something?

That's one nice VW, it definitely has one of the nicest interior in the SUV segment.

Seriously... Why did the dealer come of 10K on a Brand new SUV, there must be more to the story then pissing the sales guy off.

Nice SUV.

The new Subie looks a shitload better then the saab version....I saw one in the parking and at first though it was a fucking MDX that had been modded with a shitty kit and altezzas....thinks looks fucking horrid and TERRIBLE body panel gaps.

i'm sure it is couple of things
good bargaining power
VW's are not selling well at all
getting towards the end of model year

congrats!! i love the interior on those things.

So you got this thing and the stang? that's hot!!

All of the above plus the Toureg's weight makes the mpg pretty low-not a big selling point at the moment.

there is no story to tell, just kept insisting a ridiculous price.
The first salesman said after all discounts it would be $41,000 and some change, than we went to go look at it and then came back and insisted on $39,500. He said no, than we said yes. He said no, and we said yes. That continued for literally half an hour. So the manager came in and said the price was actually $43,000 and some change and we got pissed and started arguing, so they guy said fine $42,000 and we said no, $39,500. He said no, we are losing money, we said we don't care u just waisted three hours of our day when u told us $41,000. He said god damn it no, we said yes. Than hes said $41,700, than my dad who was with me said $41,500 and i just broke out laughing and the manager gave out this disgusted groan noise and said ok fine and we shook on it. Than my dads like and we want a third key, the manager almost went crazy, it was so funny
