Ahhh, Shnak and Multi, act nice in the playground. Multi, stick around, you're entertaining and your GC sure looks shiny!

With the huge incentives, low rates, and leasing, why buy used? CPOwned is a good route because often times they have special rates and extended warranty, but other than that, unless it's a steal, I'm buyin' newbie!

SAM, but for $10-$15k with manufacturer warranty and low KM why not buy used?  Why take the depreciation hit?

I had my fix of new cars now, I had 2 from brand new, unless I want the new car on the block I'll just get a 1-2 year old car for a low price.  If you are financing and cannot get a good interest rate it maybe a wash, but if you pay cash, then there is some large savings to be had.

Siraqua, why would I ever buy again a new VW when I can get a <1 year old model for a solid $8-9k less, with BETTER than original warranty? Certified pre-owned is the key...

You certainly had no problem getting one did you. There sure is enough of these on the lots already. I wonder why so many people are trading them in so fast. The Dealers may have to put the extra warranty on them just to deal them off IMHO.

yes Barrie... VW certainly is known world wide to give HUGE incentives so that they can sell their vehicles... they certainly cannot stay close to their MSRP like the GM dealerships can...

They must be giving your car away as you bought 2 in less then 6 months.
