Buying one without a sunroof?

What is the order time for getting a new GTI without the sunroof option? Can the car be had without a sunroof? I have configured one online but can't find a dealership in Texas without one. All I want is Black Magic, Interlagos, DSG and Sirius. Thoughts?

Try Rusty Wallace VW in Dallas, they have the exact spec you are looking for as of yesterday. I know because I was going to buy it but decided on a package 2 instead. Good Luck.

Both Package 1 and Package 2 have the sunroof. What you are looking for is a DSG with Package 0. Search for a black DSG with Package 0 and then add the satellite as a dealer option.

Good luck!!

Just got an e flyer from Rusty Wallis VW stating $300 off invoice on in-stock GTI's. FYI - I have no affiliation. I bought a Candy White, Package 2 with DSG today for $25,750 OTD (6.25% sales tax in Texas) from another dealer. Picking it up on Tuesday.

Gettin off subject, but I got my package to without DSG for $24059 out the door. You got ripped. Just kidding, yours is still a good deal. I went to the largest volume VW seller in Ohio and they advertise that they will beat any dealers price by $300. I had them beat it by $700. Plus my first price was a fake one I made up. They aren't concerned with large profits, just getting the sell over someone else. If I were you I would go back and forth between 2 VW dealers. This usually frustrates them but they know that the best price gets the sell and thats usually when real good deals start coming out. The two that I test drove came were at a different lot then the one I ended up purchasing my ride at. After all, it's business.

Kirk180 thanks for the tips. I did not mention that I also had the 18in rims included in the price. I paid $23K plus TTL so I'm pretty happy with that at $2,500 below invoice. I had the dealers competing wth each other untill they all walked away from the deal, then I called the one with the best price. In my book you only know how far someone is willing to go when they walk away.

Sweet! I see that they still have the GTI that miatamat pointed out in their online inventory. I will give them a call first thing Monday and see if it is still in stock and if it has Sirius or not. I have tried to fit in the GTI with the sunroof but it is a little low for me. Being 6'9" I have issues with some vehicles and I am excited to see how much extra headspace will be gained with no sunroof.

Thanks for all of the info.

miatamat, did the GTI that you are reffering too have a Sirius or XM sat radio? Also, how many miles did it have on it? Was it used as a loaner car? One last thing, can you send me the e-flyer for the $300+ saving to my email address at rworld@ev1.net?

Thanks for your help. If I can negotiate with them over the phone then I will make the 4.5 hour drive to go look at it.

fpanda, you have mail and it was Sirius radio. I may have read the flyer wrong,looks like $1000 off in stock 2005/2006 GTI's but I bet it's off remaining mark 4. GC

Hey kirk180, tell me which dealer in OHIO. I live in Kentucky and will be making me move next month. I'll drive up there to pick it up if have to. I want the best deal.

Sorry for not posting in a while, I have been out of town. I was not able to secure the car that you mentioned from Rusty Wallace. Apparently someone contracted on it before I could make the call to them. I am still on the lookout for a Black, Package 0, with Sirius and DSG. I just haven't had the time as of late to look at all of the dealerships for it. I may just go to one of the dealerships in Houston and order it. If anyone comes across one just post back in the forum.

Thanks,

Fpanda

I have decided that I am going to wait until Q2 or Q3 of 2007 and see if I can get an 07 R32. I wonder if you can get those without a sunroof as well? Anyone know if this will be an option? Does anyone think that the delivery time will be as I mentioned above?
