Lee added that he is examining his operation with an eye to cutting costs, and is counting on other profit centers such as parts and service to weather the sales slump. "That's how we're surviving," Lee said.
But dealers didn't get everything they wanted. VW refused to accelerate the U.S. introductions of the redesigned Jetta and Passat, scheduled for 2005. VW plans to launch the Passat in Germany this year.

i mean, does this thread really need an "ALERT!!" icon?

As a mechanic I have seen first hand how bad VW/Audi is. In fact there was a recall on Audis the other day for them cathing on fire. Take a guess what, one of my customers audis caught on fire.
If YOU find any thing good about them then post it.

HA HA! VW sucks and now they're paying the price.
They can blame the aging product lines all they want, but i'd be willing to bet that at least SOME of their dropping sales figures can be attributed to negative sentiment held by former VW owners. Word of mouth goes a long way, and I for one don't have a lot of good things to say about my former VW. :disgust:

Didn't you once give me (Garfang) a user rating of 1 because I said I didn't like VW and called the cars "really pretty pieces of sh!t?"
Oh well. Opinions sway over time.

You got any buddies who work in the finance office of a VW dealership? See if you can get your car "certified" and refinanced through VW.
It might not be worth it though, because you'll probably need to pay title transfer fees and sales tax again, and possibly pay for the certification inspection in case VW needs a paper-trial on vehicles sold as certified used vehicles.
Or join a credit union and refinance there. (But that's a good rate already, my credit union gave me 4.78% on a 2001 vehicle last September, which I consider pretty decent.)
