OK it's Friday so non Vanagon stuff is allowed on the list... this does
partain to Volkswagens so I'm OK right!?


My wife wants to trade
in her 2006 V10 TDI Touareg (20.000km / 1 year warranty remaining - just
wants a smaller car) and get a 2009 TDI Jetta wagon.


Anyone
have any sound advice in dealing with the car weasels er um sales people
out there?


Using round numbers, the Jetta (full load) is 35000,
three different dealers have what we want, and the average CraigsList
private price of the Touareg is 55000 - realizing that the dealer needs to
make a living and trading a more expensive car for a less expenisive car
is always a bad thing... what is the best deal I can hope to get from a VW
dealer.  The highest opening offer from the dealers is 35K for the
car (no one will move on price) and 39K for the Touareg which to me is way
low... or is it...


Help me get in touch with the "inner
rodent" of the car sales person!
