My Take: VW’s brand new Minivan (Routan) has a fairly attractive leasing offer right now. There aren’t any cash rebates, but the residual and money factor is fairly attractive. Remember that you can save yourself anywhere from $20-$30 per month if you opt for the 12k mile term instead of the 15k mile term. That will boost your residual value about 2%. The Tiguan continues to have fairly low money factors and high residual value this month so it is a good alternative if you are looking to lease something with decent cargo room. There is “special” financing available starting at 3.9% for 36 months and so on. The longer the term, the higher the percentage.

My Take: As expect, 2010 residual are down right nasty at this point of the year. VW Credit has taken the step to drop the MF so low, it’s practically interest free. On top of that, they even give customers cash to move these “soon-to-be-used” cars. My guess is that there’s a lot of inventory right now and they really want to move it. I say, HECK YEAH! I haven’t crunched the numbers yet, but I get the feeling that some of these models might make this month’s Round-Up.
