My Take: The 09 GTI looks like a pretty good deal right now. With just inception fees, your payments should hover in the mid 300s range after taxes with just inception fees. Thanks in part by a $500 rebate from the manufacturer. The residual value drop from 24 to 36 months is relatively small, so the 36 month is a much better deal, potentially saving you thousands of dollars. Not a bad time to get into a 09 VW GTI if you ask me.
