09 VW GTI Lease Rates – April 2009

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: GTi rates looks pretty decent. The residual is fairly low, but so is the money factor. As a matter of fact, it is actually lower than their lowest APR for purchase financing. So leasing, is probably the cheaper option. I’ve always had a soft sport for the GTi, but the honeycomb grill needs to go. They should go with the chrome-nose that the Jettas and R32s have to keep things in the VW family more uniform. Anyway, not a bad lease-to-buy candidate, if that’s what you want. The lowest financing APR available is 3.9% for up to 36 months. There are two cash rebates for customers this month, a loyalty one worth $500 and a $1000 for any customer financing with VW. The Loyalty rebate expires tomorrow and the $1000 customer cash expires on 5/4/2009.

09 VW GTI Lease Rates for January 2009

Published by G

My Take: After all the bad lease rates, here’s a little sunshine through those dark clouds. The GTI’s lease rates are relatively reasonable this month, so it might not bad a bad idea to give them a look if you want a compact hatchback in your driveway. It did go up a little bit since November, but it is still a relatively good lease. I’ve always enjoyed the GTI and was originally looking into leasing one instead of the TSX we currently have. Unfortunately for VW, the TSX was too hard to give up, but I do love the GTI’s DSG transmission. It is smooth and responsive and a lot of fun to drive. Don’t forget the $500 loyalty cash available to existing VW customers.

November 2008 Lease Rate for 09 VW GTI and Jetta

Published by G

My Take: The 09 GTI is looking like a good lease this month, with a fairly high residual and reasonable money factor. There’s up to $400 worth of dealer contribution towards a lease, so keep that in mind during your negotiations. Equipped to my liking (meaning everything) on a 36 month/ 12k mile lease at invoice ($31,712), the GTI would run about $421 + tax per month with inception due at signing. Pretty expensive if you ask me, I would probably advice being “cautious” with your options because it adds up quick. The 4-door version costs a bit more since the price tag is a 1000 to 2000 more and the residual value drops 1%. Don’t bother with the Wolfsburg Jetta, the money factor isn’t very attractive eventhough the residual is very high.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 09 VW GTI

Published by G

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.

0% Financing on All 08 VW models

Published by G

VW is introducing 0% financing on all 08 VW models until Halloween. As for 09 models, you can get 3.9% financing on those. Pre-owned vehicles also have fairly low interest rates if you plan to purchange one. As always, when there are low-interest financing loans to be had, I will always recommend those over leases because nothing beats free money.

August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 VW GTI/Rabbit

Published by G

My Take: 0% financing for up to 60 months on the GTI is STILL available (expires 9/2/08). Pretty much makes leasing less of a “deal”. However, if you wanted to, the MF are low enough to make payments acceptable. Lets take a look at a well equipped GTI. Also, for those on a budget, you can get it’s “fluffier” sibling, the VW Rabbit.

What I’ve noticed about Audi/VW is that they lease “cheaper” at 36 and 48 months. The Payments are very reasonable here for the 36mo term. At 12k miles per year, you can enjoy savings of about $15 per month, on a 36mo lease. The question now is, for around the same payments, would you rather drive a GTI or a Cooper S?

0% Financing on VW GTI and R32

Published by G

Word from a dealer I’ve worked with in a past is that VW is offering 0% financing on all GTI and R32. The deal for the GTI right now is 0% for up to 60 months and 0% for up to 36 months on the R32. You can read more about my opinion on the R32 here. I normally pitch leases, after all, that is the focus of this web site. However, nothing beats leasing like 0% financing. It’s a no brainer. It’s a free loan, so why not.

June 2008 Lease Rate for 08 VW GTI

Volkswagen GTI 4dr Hatchback
24 Month – Residual 60% of MSRP – .00085 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 51% of MSRP – .00085 Base Rate
48 Month – Residual 43% of MSRP – .00128 Base Rate

* Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms
** Rates provided by Tarry Shebesta from Leasecompare.com

My Take: The MF for the GTI is looking pretty good right now, even for the 48mo lease. The residuals aren’t very good since the 2009 models have arrived. Expect payments around $350+tax with no money down for a well equipped model on a 36mo/12k lease and $330+tax on a 48mo/12k lease.
