Well, went by my dealer and it turns out this is all a moot point. Apparently all 09 premiums come with sat radio, and therefore come w/ that ugly wart on the trunk lid. No 09 GT for me then. Thanks Ford for your lack of attention to detail.

They took 2 cars off my hands for more than I would have gotten selling them privately ontop of the employee price and 2008 rebate!

To whoever posted this, Ford doesn't pay for 'Free Tires, Free Oil Changes, Free Gap Insurance, Free Warranty', if there is only $633.28 to make on a deal, how can the dealership throw in all that stuff, because it may be 'free' to the customer but it still costs us, the only time a dealership will do that is when they make huge money on you, and have the room to do so. Think about that next time they throw everything in for 'free'. Nobody is in business to lose money.

I spent 1/2 a day in the dealership today. They gave me the employee discount and the rebate for sure, but they offered me $10500 on a car I owe $18000 on so I didn't do the deal. I thought they were just playing hard ball but they let me walk away from the deal.

Try several different dealerships. You might just be out of luck, especially if there are not many dealerships in your area. I have had dealerships that let you just walk away and others that call and call until a price is agreed on.

What is the year, make and mileage of the VW your trying to trade in? I owed $18k on the Altima I traded in. They had offered $10k at first (which is the normal trade-in value), but gave me $16k in the end. I had a $2k loss, but I wouldn't of been able to sell the Altima for more then $16k anyway.

Its an 06 Jetta TDI. The killer is that it has 70,000 miles.
There are a bunch of dealers in my area, but not many that have 08's (I want the rebate). If they had offered me $16k for the jetta, I would have a red stand in the garage this morning.

At nadaguides.com it shows the trade in value as between $14k to $17k depending on the shape of the car. Blue Book kbb.com had it between $11k to $14k.
I bought a 09 and they gave me the Employee priceing deal. I'd shop around and see if you can get at least $15k for the trade-in (depending on the shape of your car though).
