Replying to: jcrawford (Mar 15, 2005 1:40 pm) My question is would it be better to simply wait out the lease and deal with the excess mileage at the end? Is there a chance that "wear and tear" will be considerable? The next time out I plan on buying a car, but there’s no way I could come up with almost $4,000 at the end of this lease. I think $3,000 would be more feasible, but I also want to stop digging the hole further. Should I just plan on buying another VW? Thanks.

| "Money factor", "gap insurance" . . . never heard of it. Any suggestions on good online resources for general lease education? I've got a lot of research ahead of me! | |

The mileage fee would be all you pay when you turn the car in, plus a disposition fee if there is one. |

Ok, I need help bad. Leased a 2000 Audi TT, used with 12,000 miles in 2002. It was Audi Certified. Soon after my warranty ran out, my engine died last October. Talked to Audi, they refused to do anything for me. Replaced the engine ($6000)Just found out i need a new clutch, $600.(didn't replace it yet, but its slipping really bad!!! My car lease is running out in 7 months, so i dont want to put any more money into the car. Should I A) Try to sell the car with a busted clutch? MY buy out is $12,000, maybe i can get $13000 for it. B)Drive another car until this lease runs out and hand it in? C)Buy another car at a delearship and make them buy my car out, but they will only give me around $10000 instead of $12000 if i cell it myself? |

Hi dguptaofnj. Special lease programs exist on all of the trim levels of the trucks that you are considering, not just the ones that their manufacturers are advertising lease payments on. I would be more than happy to calculate sample lease payments on the trucks that you are considering for you, but in order for me to do so I need some additional information from you first, including their MSRPs, approximate selling prices, and how long you want to lease them for.
