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.

logo_vwMy Take: Still working on getting more figures here. I will be dumping all of the VW numbers here since it’s going to take me some time to dig them up. Make sure to check this post often if you are looking for a VW. I will updated it with the Jetta, GTI, Tiguan figures as I find them.

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 Jetta, Tiguan, Passat, CC Lease Rates – February 2010

Update: Had a chance to visit the VW dealer today. Didn’t get much in terms of numbers since we were doing test drives. But I did manage some numbers on the CC Luxury, which was the only thing they had for CCs. I also dropped in the Tiguan Wolfsburg for those who need it. Jetta TDIs are not going to be in production this year, instead, only the Cup Edition will be available. Wife really liked the Jetta Wolfsburg and I can’t really disagree. 2.0T engine, media center, leather interior, moon roof, allow wheels, all under a MSRP of 25,000. Can’t complain there. One issue I have right now is that I am noticing dealer trying to force “dealer addons” onto the cars to make extra profit. The local Subby and VW dealer was adding security window etching for an extra $995, which provides you with “coverage” should your car is stolen. I got one word for that, “LAME”. There is no way in hell I’d spend nearly $1k for that.

My Take: I spent a lot of time today hitting the phones in order to get some numbers and I managed a few. The Tiguan is a very strong lease right now, with a $308 plus tax per month payment with inception due at signing. The assumption is that the MSRP is $26k and the sale price is invoice or around $24.6k. Sure, its not fully loaded, but it’s a cheap lease if you don’t mind me saying. There’s a possibility that the lease rates are going to change March, so keep that in mind. Now there’s a issue with availability around these parts, specially regarding the Jetta TDI and the CC Sport. I will call around other deals and provide you with an update at a later date.

Happy New Year!

Published by G

Happy New Year everyone! As you all know, I will be going on vacation tonight and I will not be returning until the weekend of the 16th. This means that there will not be posting any lease rates until I return. I know you will miss having all the information all on one website, but don’t feel bad, you can still find it floating around the web. In any case, remember that the price tags for practically ALL BMWs are going up starting January 1st, so today IS your last day to snap up 2010 models for a lower price tag. The lease cash is still available on all BMWs right now so don’t sleep on this.

Other notable promotions that will also end come January 4th:

  • Lexus December to Remember (No idea what the deal is here)
  • VW (Sign-then-drive, waiving 1st monthly payment)
  • Audi (waiving security deposit)
  • Mazda (Sign-and-drive)
  • Infiniti (Limited Winter Engagement; really attactive lease numbers for the G37. 2010 G37s are coming next month, so the deal could be extended OR become less attractive)
  • Honda (Happy Honda Days; for the most part, the lease rates are pretty good on the more popular models like the Accord)
  • Toyota (Camry is a REALLY good deal right now)
  • Acura (The $1500 and $2000 rebates will probably disappear come January 5th on the TSX V6 with and without Tech).

Now before I head out, there will be some temporary changes that I plan to implement starting today.

  1. New users cannot register in the forums. During my absence, I will be disabling the new user registration approving new users MANUALLY because I’ve been slammed with spammers these past couple weeks and I do not want to come back to a bunch of spammers peddling their viagra, cyalis, ringtones or webcam girls. Since I won’t be able to moderate the forums on a daily basis I felt this was the best option while I am away. New users will be approved upon my return.
  2. Current users will still have access to the forums. This means if you have already registered, you can post as you please.
  3. You may use this blog post as your general Q&A post. Since the blog part of the site handles spam much better than the forums, you may ask your questions here if you like. Just remember that using certain explicit language or hyper linking to other websites will get your comments flag as spam, so it would have to be approved manually.

That is all folks! Enjoy the New Year, hopefully we get some really good lease rates this year (I know I need it because my TSX has about 4 payments left).

See you all when I get back!

2010 Volkswagen CC Lease Rates – December 2009

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: I couldn’t find a single 36-month lease rate. VW seems to be pushing the 39 month lease by making it really attractive. I am fairly impressed with the CC personally. I think the front of the car is a bit bland, but from the side, it has the lines of a MB CLS, which is pretty cool. Anyway, the seats could be a more comfortable, but the bucket seats do hold you well and the dash is first class. Aside from the “Transmission” problems Ursus mentioned last month, I have no problems recommending this ride. Just be careful with the 39-month terms, as you know, I’m not super fond of them unless you are saving a good chunk of change over the 36-month leases. Specially here in CA, where our DMV registration has practically doubled from last year, it gets expensive to pay this twice in one year.

VW Auto Show Promo. Send as a text. Get an iPod touch

Published by G

Southern Californian’s who attended the Auto Show may or may not have noticed the current VW promotion that lasts through December 13th (this coming Sunday). It is as simple as it sounds. You send a text VW, then lease a new 2009 or 2010 VW before Dec 13th, 2009 and you will get a iPod Touch 1-2 weeks after you take delivery.

Here are the details:

Text LAAUTO to VWCARS (892277) and receive a complimentary iPod touch when you purchase or lease a new 2009 or 2010 Volkswagen.

You can’t see much of the fine print on this, but it essentially talks about the period of this offer (til the 13th); Standard messaging fees apply; Only at participating So Cal VW Dealers; Apple is not sponsoring this promotion; And lastly, expect the iPod around 1 to 2 weeks after taking delivery of the vehicle.

Here is are blow up of the add that was stuck to the a 2010 CC’s door. And yes, that is my reflection on the door. LOL.

09 VW Touareg Lease Rates – June 2009

Published by G

logo_vwMy Take: As I mentioned before in the VW CC post, it seems VW is going the “Lease-to-Buy” route, with these lower residual values/lower money factors. Normally, I wouldn’t mind owning a VW, but their reputation for quality is a bit “spotty”, so I would probably think twice about leasing the car and buying it out at lease end. Factor in the fact that VWs have only 36-month bumper -to-bumper warranty and you really have to think long and hard about this before you pull the trigger. I guess I probably would do this as a 3rd car, but not so much as a daily driver.
