2012 jetta negotiation room?
 

I took a look at the car a couple days ago, it was 24k before fees/tax.
2.5k cash incentive + 500$ off 60th anniversery going on,
what would be a reasonable amount of DC to receive?

1000 if your lucky.

Get a CCC report. Find the invoice price then go from there.

Although you wont get much more than what you have now

Should be close to none - They are still "waitlisted" to a certain extent

Volkswagen of America Says Passat And Jetta Uber Alles | The Truth About Cars

not a lot of gross profit on new cars like these nowadays....

As much as I love Volkswagens, the new Jetta's quality is far below than those of previous generations.

But, that said, as others have said, there's not much room for negotiations. At least, not off the sale price. You'll have better chances if you buy the extended warranty and all the other stuff they try to sell you.

My neighbour just got one and what everyone says is true... the interior is a sea of hard plastic. It doesn't feel very German any more.

I'm bored and I have a few CCC reports left:
At $24k I am assuming you are getting the Sportline Automatic model, so here goes:

So contrary to what many people are saying, there are plenty of incentives on the Jetta.
With the Golf (German made), the incentives are far less.

I went to to coquitlam vw for my jetta and got 1200 off msrp.

which model+color did u end up getting? and how do u like it so far?

also thank you to too_slow and others for input
