Just purchased 2012 Passat SEL Yesterday
I thought it would be helpful to post this info for others to compare when shopping.
How about this format -
1) Engine 2.5L
2) Transmission AT DSG
3) Trimline SEL
4) Options -spoiler,navigation, fender audio, sunroof, all weather mats, mud flaps
5) Tough Negotiating. they are selling these like hot cakes. Mud Flaps unavailable but the deater agreed to include and install when available.
6) Price including tax, title, tags $ 29,500.00 OTD approximately $ 27,000.00 before taxes, Sticker price was $29,200.00 including destination.
Wife loves it.
Hope this post helps others.

The auto in the 2.5L is the tiptronic. DSG is the automated manual (electronically controlled dual clutch) only in the TDI and 3.6.

Whenever I look at car prices from other countries, I can't help thinking how lucky you guys are. Here in Singapore, we pay close to 4x what it costs in the US due to sky high import taxes and other government disincentives to curb car ownership. For example:
2012 Passat 1.8TSI Highline
7-speed DSG
RNS 510 with rear camera
18" wheels
Anti-doze warning
SGD187,000 on the road with 1 year's insurance and tax (approximately USD130,000)
That's not all, cars must either be scrapped or re-exported on or before it's 10th year.

Here in Singapore...
That says it all. They really don't want people owning cars in Singapore and are left with only the rich that can afford car ownership. How much is just a license plate?

Candy white TDI SE
6speed manual
mats,trunk liner
$25,810 +TTL
But about to add fog lights and possible rear spoiler (factory). Saving up for a RNS-510 navigation system.

Nice.
You should consider other nav options as well. 510 is nice, but overrated. It comes with plenty of issues that may change your impression.

The TDI SEL premium I might purchase tonight has an msrp of 33,600. They are giving me a price of 33,110.. that's high right? Realistically, i should be around 32,800? I have more negotiating to do...or maybe just eat the ~300 difference so I can have my new vehicle

Base se tdi no sunroof with manual shift. They did give me a set of mojo mats $25750 plus nj sales tax and a stupid $200 doc fee which is a bunch of bull crap

1) Engine TDI SE
2) Transmission 6MT
3) Trimline TDI SE
4) Options None
5) Comments White on black
6) Price excluding tax, title, tags $24,900, no mats, no nothing, the $26765 MSRP version. Did it over the phone and via email, to nail them down on the price, no worming out of it, before driving 135 miles to pick up the car. Discussed all the other closing costs up front too, before having them email me the price, and me accepting it. Did the deal the same day I called. Stressful, very stressful, buying a new car. Salesman is great, the Closer, manager and other guys don't understand what "no" means when I told them I don't want their mechanical insurance option.

I know it's a little premature, but I'm already looking for a used 2012 Passat V6 SE. However my budget is $25K all in, when do you guys think it will be possible for me to find what I'm looking for? Late summer?? Also, how many miles can expect to find on a possible vehicle?
Thanks for your input!![]()
