09 VW Tiguan Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/132009/02/20 by G

My Take: The “special” financing rates for the Tiguan aren’t really that special to be honest with you (5.9% for 60 months). Leasing might be the better alternative for this month since the money factor (3.1%) is lower than the lowest loan APR available (3.9%). There is a $1000 rebate from the mfg direct to the customers and another $500 in loyalty cash. Both of them available for leasing, so be sure to take that into consideration when you do your negotiations. The residual value is a bit low, but I think the cash does a good job offsetting that. Remember that non-luxury brand’s warranties usually go up to 36 months (with a few exceptions of course), so don’t lease past that term.

2009 Volkswagen Tiguan February Lease Rates

DO NOT LEASE

Nothing here. Although I’m very tempted to move the Tiguan into the “do not lease” list just because of the lame residual values.

09 VW GTI Lease Rates for January 2009

Published 2009/01/192009/01/19 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 Rates for 09 VW Routan and Tiguan

Published 2008/11/15 by G

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.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 08 VW Jetta & Passat

Published 2008/10/262008/10/26 by G

My Take: Of the remaining 09 Jetta and Passats, the Wolfsburg edition seems to stand out. The residual value is still pretty high and the money factor is lower than most. This makes for a nice combination for leasing. If you are in the market for a Jetta and don’t mind driving a manual transmission, the Wolfsburg may be for you. There is also special financing available in the form of 0% for up to 36 months, 1.9% for 48 and 2.9% for 60. I would go with the lease in this particular case since the money factor breaks down to about 2.568% APR.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 09 VW Tiguan

Published 2008/10/242008/10/24 by G

My Take: Tiggy is looks pretty good this month. The MF is not bad at all (around 3.24%) and the residual is good, making the depreciation fairly low. The uncool part is that the “middle of the road” SE 4motion starts at a whopping 29k. The good news is that there isn’t too much more you can add to the Tiguan at that point, maybe a $1300 pano sunroof and/or a $2000 navi. Which should set you back another $50 bucks or so. Nothing you can’t live without.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 09 VW GTI

Published 2008/10/112008/10/11 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.

August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 VW Jetta

Published 2008/08/252009/02/25 by G

My Take: The Jetta leases are looking pretty decent this month. I know I’m posting this a bit late this month, but these rates should last through the end of the month, so you have just shy of one week’s time to jump on this. Thanks to Jake for noticing my “error” here. I did not change the residual to 59% from 68% when calculating the 36mo lease. After some quick calculation, I’ve noticed that the lease deal is a bit on the “expensive” side. Granted, when compared to say, a Honda Civic EX Coupe, this is still pretty decent.

Jetta Wolfsburg
MSRP $23,075
Invoice $21,830
Standard inception fees + tax not included
Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year.

2008 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Manual
24 Month – Residual 68% of MSRP – .00142 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 59% of MSRP – .00142 Base Rate
48 Month – Residual 52% of MSRP – .00181 Base Rate

24mo Payment: $309 at invoice, $363 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $278 at invoice, $315at MSRP

Wow, cheap. $224 a month + tax and just a tad over $1000 due at signing . Pretty good deal if you ask me. The Jetta is actually a bigger car than most people think. Fairly well appointed too. Typo here, the cheapest payment here is more like $278. Not TERRIBLE since its the Worlfsburg edition. Since you are leasing, you won’t have to worry too much about “reliability” because you will be covered under the warranty until lease-end. I think the other Jettas (except the GLI) should hover around this range too (possibly less for the SE). If you are looking for a Jetta, this is certainly a good month to get into one. Not as great of a deal as I originally thought. To make up for my “mistake”, I’ll calculate the SE model’s payment range, hoping to uncover a decent deal here…

24mo Payment: $287 at invoice, $335at MSRP
36mo Payment: $250 at invoice, $282 MSRP

Certainly cheaper here, but not exactly a “deal” I guess I could live with sub $300 payments on a Jetta. Go with the 12k mile lease and watch your payments drop another $10 bucks or so. Bummer, I got all excited about the cheaper Jetta leases…too bad I goofed. Go with the GTI, you’ll probably have more fun with that car.

August 2008 Lease Rate for 08 VW GTI/Rabbit

Published 2008/08/162009/02/25 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.

GTI + Autobahn + 18″ ‘Hufeisen’ Alloy Wheels
MSRP $28,435
Invoice $26,564
Standard inception fees + tax not included
Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year.

2008 Volkswagen GTI 2dr Hatchback
24 Month – Residual 60% of MSRP – .00066 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 51% of MSRP – .00066 Base Rate
48 Month – Residual 43% of MSRP – .00119 Base Rate

24mo Payment: $425 at invoice, $504 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $362 at invoice, $415 at MSRP
48mo Payment: $345 at invoice, $386 at MSRP

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?

2008 Volkswagen Rabbit 2dr Hatchback
24 Month – Residual 64% of MSRP – .00138 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 55% of MSRP – .00138 Base Rate
48 Month – Residual 48% of MSRP – .00177 Base Rate
