YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 You get a full size class interior and quality materials at a reasonable (for european vehicle) price.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 You get(LUXE) MUCH more for the same as a base A4. VW also has incentives rarely matched.
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Found price to be $3000 to $4000 less than comparable wagon with comparable room.

2007 4dr Wagon 280-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 optimal price/features ratio
2002 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This car was three years old. It was near the cutoff mileage where VW’s CPO would not cover the car. And it was priced to sell at 3K less than similar cars on the lot. If it had not sold that week it would have been sent to auction.

2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD		 too expensive
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 My turbo four cost $26,000 with just rear side air bags, heated seats and floor mats as options. About $3500 over a similar Camry and Honda four.
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Price is higher than a comparable Japanese car like an Accord or Camry, although the Passat does pack way more features and the base Passat is much better equipped than the base Accord or Camry.
2006 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 4 motion is very $$$
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Price a little on the high side becasue dealer does not compete in the Canadian market, it was sort of buy it or leave it. No incentaives like the US.
2004 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 so many options that add to sticker price
2004 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4

2003 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.8L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The Passat is more expensive than other cars when new but you are paying for quality.

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 I was able to negotiate a very reasonable price on this pilot. This made the payments very reasonable compared to many comperable SUVs.
2008 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 with the knee jerk reaction against SUVs in US made many SUVs affordable. Pilot was unfairly clubbed clubbed with all the gas guzzlers and that made some very good deals possible.
2007 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 I paid about $2,000.00 less for the Pilot than a comparably equipped Highlander.
2005 4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 WE BOUGHT IT USED AND GOT A GREAT DEAL.
