$16,100 (includes TTL) silver P5, manual with leather and auto-dim mirrors.
5.99% for 60 months, but I'll be looking online for better deals. I'll just take another loan and pay off this one in a day. I think I can get under 4%.
I take delivery later this week, but right now I'm driving a loaner from the dealer. It's a V6 Jetta. Damn, I wish we had a V6. Oh well, sweet I4 with sticky handling ("sticky" being a good thing, as in "sticks to the road") beats out a Jetta any day.
Here's a story for you though. My first loaner was actually 2002 P5, manual. But the moment I parked it in my driveway, my mom says "you're leaking something". I look and there's this huge puddle of GASOLINE and a trail of it leading up to my driveway. I call the dealer and my sales guy drives over to pick it up. While they're waiting for the tow, they decide to start it up to see if they can catch the problem. Start the engine and this fountain of gasoline starts shooting up right where the fuel line goes to the engine. Freakiest non-accident I've ever had. I can't believe I drove that thing home.
Oh, and thanks to everybody who responded to my questions about price and financing and all that other madness. My first car purchase. I guess you're not doing it right until the manager comes running out after you asking what it'll take for you to buy a car.
Can't wait to take delivery.
