Cutter had a non-silver car, and they were willing to meet a price that Tony wasn't, namely MSRP.  Amazing how anywhere else MSRP is overpriced, and here it's a low price goal.  Either way, I can't wait to get rid of the Cutter license plate frames.

Yea, that is something that I noticed when I was car shopping not long ago.  No one was interested in going below MSRP unless you were looking for something very large and gashoggyish.  But then I started talking to dealers on the mainland, and going through USAA's car buying service.  I now have multiple dealerships advertising offers that are a couple grand below MSRP. 

So anyhow, what about that towing capacity?

Yeah, I contacted a dealer in Oakland, and it seemed like we could get a touch below MSRP on the TDI, but not much due to demand.  A touch below MSRP + shipping = more than I paid, so, good enough.

And I can't find any info on towing capacity yet.  I'll have to check the book.

if you are a AAA member, they have a deal to get $500 over invoice plus some other protections..  they find the car for you... 

love the TDI tho.  I have an 05 Golf and would love to get a new one.

Wonder if AAA has that same deal down here. Hawaii dealers as a whole rarely participate in any sort of discount program.

I've used the Costco deal on island before, and it was essentially a free pass to MSRP.  The magic letters return.  I was not aware of the AAA possibility, but I'm a little late on that one.
