Overall, VW lease rates have gotten worse. Luckily, VW Credit has introduced a couple of 39-month leases that help improve the numbers a little bit. Most of you regulars know I’m not a huge fan of 39-month leases, so I am not going to elaborate. Just know that it works for some but it doesn’t work all that well for others (specially for folks that pay yearly registration fees).

Check out my calculations below to get an idea of how the leases look this month…

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.
