How Much Did You Pay For Your Volkswagen Atlas?
21 - 40 of 49 Posts
So, I am in the market for a new 2021 SEL V6 AWD or SEL R-Line V6 AWD and have no problem getting offers at 8 to 9K below MSRP in the DC area? This is not for the 2021.5 latest version but that is close to 20% off MSRP! What is going on? Has the Atlas lost favor?
Well.... reading through the grievance posts on the forum, that may explain the deep discounts offered. I mean, is the Atlas that unreliable? I see quite a few issues with transmission, after sales support, part availability, poor road assistance on new vehicles idled after a few days... should I stick to Honda?

8 to 9k off what price? There is normally very little room to move with price on Atlas since they sell so well. This is a forum of course you will find issues and problems its a forum used to help others to resolve their problems.
Buy what you what however comparing a VW Atlas to another car is silly, my Atlas could terrible and I would never trade it in. I am sure there is plenty others here on the forum that love their Atlas and wouldn't trade them for the world.
2021 Atlas AWD SEL Dark Grey / Brown MSRP: $45,980, sale $36,924 (disc $9,056). Most VW dealers in the DC/VA/MD are advertise Atlases online at discounts ranging from 5k to 7k which makes the car a very good buy compared to the competition. I wanted a Kia Telleride or Hyundai Palisade but those sale at or above MSRP, especially the Telly. And yes, I do understand most people post on car forums to resolve issues, nevertheless, I am a bit shocked by the amount of “problem” post. I stopped by my local dealer today to check the car But did not have give time to test drive. I am quite impressed by the interior quality and design, and the base equipment package even on the SE is quite impressive. I just hope it is reliable. I am only 5 minutes from the dealership so any issue would be easy to address now but we are planning to move out of town and there, the next VW dealer will be 2hrs away....

I would request the out the door price. I would assume they are packing on extra to make up the discount. In PA I wasnt able to 2020 SE with Tech for under 42
Correct, out of the door price would be:
MSRP less discount: $36,924
Dealer processing fee: $500
Destination: $1,020
Non-Tax fees (title, tags and reg): $280
MD sales tax (6%): $2,306
TOTAL out of the door: $40,750
Still a good deal...

Just got my used 2018 Premium, 23k mi, with bench seats for $32,250 +tax, title, and NY registration. Is that a good deal on this vehicle?
I'm OK with the price since it was the only one under $35000 and under 30k mi within 500 miles of me, but wondering how it rates.

From my experience, VW has all the power on the price, leaving the dealership at most 3% to work with. It’s all about rebates and whatnot, so unless there are huge rebates on 2021 models now with the 2021.5 out, your going to end up paying roughly the same wherever you go if you’re looking for a specific model.
Oh, and if you take the 0% financing through VW, there are less rebates available, so they make money on financing by charging you the difference up front. I went for it because the numbers worked for me.

What should I pay for these two in New Jersey?
1. MSRP $45,339,Atlas cross sport SE V6 R line w/Technology 4 motion
2. MSRP $48,069, Atlas cross sport SEL V6 R line 4 motion.
What other SUVs did you consider buying? I’ve had a 2006 Toyota 4Runner sport for 15 years 205,000 miles and looking to try something new.

I live in New jersey and went to Sterling VW in Sterling VA to buy my Atlas. It was a 3-1/2 hour drive and well worth the trip. You can go on Cargurus.com and look at the new car pricing. New Jersey won't give you as good a deal. I looked initially at a dealership in MD but they had a lot of hidden charges which materialized when I asked for a firm quote. I bought my 2019 SE w/Tech and got about $8K off. I had a 2005 Toyota 4Runner which I traded in for the Atlas.
The Atlas is a big vehicle, hardly as robust as the 4Runner. The gas mileage is better than the 4Runner but I sincerely doubt if it will go 250K trouble free miles. I drove mine for 180K miles and did nothing but put new tires and brakes into it. I wanted something with lane assist, blind spot monitoring and the Atlas seemed to fit the bill. They offered a 6 year warranty so I felt it wasn't a bad deal.
If the 4Runner had the assistance systems and if they put a 6 speed transmission into it, I would have gone again with a 4Runner.

Sorry, it was Lindsay VW in Sterling VA
@Atlas2001 that seems like a incredible deal. I thought I did well but perhaps markets are different in CO. It seems the silicon shortage/used car market is pushing the price of new cars up as well.
I spent two weeks getting quotes between 3 local dealerships and asking them to beat the other.
Ended up with 3.6 awd 2021.5 SE w/tech, pano sunroof, tow package and bucket desks for 6k off msrp at 38,900 plus 0% financing. Also 4k on a dented up 2007 jeep commander with 170k miles. I looked at all dealerships in the state and adjacent states and feel very confident this was the best I could do.
Got sold really hard on the back office for extended warranty. Ended up getting extended coverage to 100k miles for 1800.

You guys scored. In socal there is not a lot of Atlas 4Motion SEL's to choose from. Paid MSRP last week. Most dealers are asking $1,000-$3,000 above MSRP. And the cars are easily selling at this price. The Kia Telluride's are selling at $5,000 above MSRP. There are none on the lots locally so you have to pre order them with a deposit. The Hyundai palisade has a $10,000 above MSRP SELLING price. Yes....SELLLING. That is what people in socal are currently paying for them. My friend is a hyundai dealer in vegas and he's selling the pallisades at $11,000 above MSRP.
