Just remember, you get what you pay for.

In general, yes. In this case, someone else pays for you.

When I read the topic, I have thought of Volkswagen Introducing the Jetta for $6,000. But there are only three avaliable here.

[SD4020]

I'd buy one for $6,000. What a gimmick.

They're only 16k MSRP.

They essentially have any army of slaves making them:

Puebla, Mexico
Changchun, China (CKD)
Uitenhage, South Africa(CKD)
Aurangabad, India (CKD)
Kaluga, Russia (CKD)
Jakarta, Indonesia (CKD at Garuda Matraman Motor)

I'd buy it...and then sell sell sell

Why does the new Jetta look like something from the 1980s?

[jtur88]

Yes, I, too, would buy it and then resell it immediately. Before I needed to pay $6,000 more for OEM wiper blades,

I like the styling of the new Jetta, but the car has been so stripped down to meet that price point it lost all of its Teutonic character along the way. The Jetta was always a bit of a premium compact compared to its competition, but now its the same as the rest with a price to match.

Its got to be scam . I bet the cars are already sold and they want it look like they sold them to the public...
