Looks like dealers in DC area have made some update to their online listings. I was going through one of the dealer's fine print for a listed GTI and was surprised with few statements:
Advertised prices conform with Volkswagen pricing guidelines for advertising. These extra discounts are available with a call, email, text, online price request or by visiting our showroom. For the best selection and pricing please contact us with the vehicle you’re considering, as well as your eligibility for additional savings programs. Prices subject to availability and are limited to vehicles in inventory. New vehicle pricing assumes financing with preferred providers and may not be combined with special financing and or lease offers. Destination (factory transportation fees) are included in advertised pricing. Tax, Title, Tags, and $699 processing fee not included in vehicle prices shown and must be paid by the purchaser.
I think someone within VW might have raised flags about those dealers adding back destination fee to their online listed price.
