so, i think i'm going this afternoon after work to try and buy a beetle at nemer vw which is right down the street from where i work and is where i went first to test drive a beetle. i'm going to try and get the one that i test drove. if you go to the nemer webpage and click on the used car inventory link and look up New Beetle, the one that I want is the 2000 GLS Blue one with 11,000 miles on it that's listed at $15,995 on the webpage (stock number 4695a). When i went there Friday night to check the sticker to see if it was turbo (it is) and what the miles were etc, the price was down to $15,395, and then I saw in the paper on saturday that it was listed on clearance for $13,999. I emailed the salesguy (bill who is dave) to see if it's still available last night, so hopefully he'll email me today that it is. i doubt someone snatched it up because i think it's been on the lot for a while (the picture of it on the webpage has snow in the background). so i'm going today to see if they can get it down to at least in the $12ks for me. i don't think that will be an issue. i'm a little nervous though. i'm not a big fan of negotiating (which is funny, because that's part of my job). but it looks like they're looking to get rid of the car (they've already knocked like 10% off for clearance) and bill who is dave seemed pretty almost desperate to sell a car the other day (kept saying how it was slow and he could make me a deal) and it's getting near the end of the month, so i'm sure he'd love to make his quota... ugh. wish me luck! :)
