2010 Volkswagen Lease Rates – July 2010

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: Sorry for the lack of VW numbers so far. Tthings have been very quiet as of late, so numbers are hard to come by. In any case, CC and GTI are pretty good leases right now. Folks seem to be getting hefty discounts on the CC in particular. I personally like the CC. It’s very stylish and priced competitively with cars around the same size/price range. I recommend the DSG model. For those who have never tried VWs DSG, I can only say one thing….AWESOME. The shifting is quick , responsive and smooth, it may not be as involved or engaging as a manual transmission, but it is still a hoot to drive.

On different note, if you plan to use the Yahoo Auto’s quote system, I would like to suggest that you set your Contact Method to be “Phone” and the Buying how soon to “within 48 hrs” regardless of when you plan to buy. If you aren’t comfortable with the “Phone” part, you can switch it to “Email”, but I still recommend letting your dealer know that you are buying within 48 hrs so that you can get quotes faster. We’re nearing the end of the month, so the sooner you get those quotes, the better. Besides, you never know when you will really pull the trigger (My wife and I gave ourselves two months to get her car, but we ended up doing it within a week). Once you have established communications with your dealer, present your offer (after you’ve done your research) and expected monthly payment and drive-off costs. Fine tune the offer and pull the trigger if everything looks good.

For those who are just shopping casually, I would recommend establishing a relationship with your dealer, get some residuals and money factors (and please share them with me! Thank you!). Then when the time is right, call the dealer back with an offer on an existing car and do your thing.

2010 Volkswagen Lease Rates – May 2010

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: Numbers looks pretty much the same as last month. I expect these numbers to remain the same between now and beginning of June. Next month’s numbers will probably see another drop in residual, but my guess is VW will throw more cash at the leases or drop the MF on most models. Not sure what VW will do with the CC. The residuals are down right nasty, but they keep throwing money at it so the lease looks great still. Remember that if your existing lease is about to expire, you might want to weigh the pros and cons of pulling off a deal early (t0 take advantage of any incentives that may disappear later). Sometimes, it might make financial sense to do that.

2010 VW CC, Jetta, GTI, Tiguan Lease Rates – April 2010

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: Jetta numbers got a little bit worse compared to Feb/March (lucky me). CCs cash incentives are still around. Availability may vary depending on where you live. The GTI still looks pretty darn good. Tiguan Wolfsburg rates look half decent, if you opt for the AWD model.

2010 Volkswagen GTI Lease Rates – February 2010

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: These numbers don’t look too bad. It got me thinking a little bit about maybe swapping out my G37 for a GTI should my wife decide to get the Jetta Wolfsburg. Of course that thought went out the window by lunchtime when I walked to the parking lot and hopped into my ride. Haahaa. Well, residuals look somewhat weak, but money factors are pretty good. Just be aggressive with your negotiations and you shoudl come way in decent shape. There is a slight shortage of 4-door models here in Southern California, but plent of 2-doors. Seems like VW is controlling their manufacturing a bit. I haven’t seen THAT many GTIs on the road these days so I can’t imagine demand is THAT high for them, but I could be wrong.

2010 VW GTI Lease Rates – December 2009

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: VW is waiving the 1st month payment, so I think the GTI is a pretty good deal right now. A well equipped model around $29,089 MSRP that is sold at invoice, should have payments of around $370 per month with your inception fees due at signing (minus the 1st month payment). With tax (depending on your county, you should expect around $400 per month). If you cut back on the options, you should a high-$300s monthly payment. I’m not sure what the 2-door version’s residual value is, but I would expect it to be a few percentage points higher than the 4-door.

2009/2010 VW Tiguan, CC, Jetta, GTI, Golf, Eos Lease Rates – October 2009

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: Took me longer than expect to wrap up all the lease rates I’ve found, bit this is the last bit. I do have numbers for the Toyota Venza, but due to the fact that not all options can be residualized (weird thing to do Toyota), the residual value is probably inaccurate. In any case, here is a collection of VWs I’ve found. As I mentioned before, my folks got a Tiguan earlier this month and they love it. I would lease one right now due to the low residual value and lack of cash. The CC is a pretty good deal right now because there are being heavily discounted right now. In any case, browse through the list and see what catches your eye. Remember that the key is the sale price. Stop negotiation payments. You have to negotiate sale prices and watch for the any fees that seem too high.

09 VW GTI Lease Rates – May 2009

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: This is an okay lease for May. Not sure I’d call it a good lease-to-buy right now since I would have preferred a sub .00100 money factor since the residual drops below 50% after 3 years. However, I’m sure that’s not something a sizable discount on the sale price can’t fix.
