Replying to: jrct9454 (Nov 23, 2004 12:57 pm) She had a 10,000 year mile allowance on the lease and she was already at 44,000 with 20 months left of the lease term. Each overage mile was charged .15/mile. Even if she kept the car until break even, depreciation and additional milage charges would pretty much put her at the negetive equity number she is in now. A no win situation with the lease. Your correct as to her financial situation. She's way overleveredged on the loan. Fortunately, she has 0 expenses outside of her car. Literally.

Replying to: turbotorque (Nov 20, 2004 11:16 pm) Regarding the VW 1000 loyal customer rebate. The dealer claims that their is a requirement that I keep with the VW financing for at least 6 months or they (the dealer) will bill me the $1000. Is this at all true? The finance rate was 8.25%, I can get 1.9 from NFCU. Replies to this message: turbotorque (Nov 25, 2004 1:07 am) passatg (Nov 30, 2004 5:29 am)

Replying to: passatg (Nov 24, 2004 4:17 am) you do have to finance/lease through VW to get the $1k loyalty rebate, but it looks like the dealer is trying to mark up the interest rate in a very big way. Replies to this message: passatg (Nov 30, 2004 5:29 am)

Replying to: sablegules (Nov 23, 2004 1:40 pm) I don't get it. I used to drive EconoBoxes until I could afford to move up to a nicer car. I just don't get these people who keep trading in to yet another negative equity situation.

Hi - I am trying to decide on a new lease. I've read what everyone says about paying $100 over invoice etc. but is all the haggling really worth it if I'm just getting a lease!?   i've got a lease offer based on total price $25,750. i think that's about $700 over the invoice price, but what does that $700 really translate into in my 48 month lease in the end?   I find the whole experience highly stressful, so if it just comes down to saving $5 a month, I'd like to spare myself the ulcer!   Any advice?

Replying to: coguk (Nov 26, 2004 4:42 pm) $700 is $700. It can be in your pocket or the dealer's pocket. If you don't care one way or another, just sign the papers and be done with it. It balances things out for when people demanding dead invoice walk through the dealership doors. Replies to this message: coguk (Nov 27, 2004 6:41 am) turbotorque (Nov 28, 2004 12:02 am)

Replying to: turbotorque (Nov 27, 2004 12:00 am) Hi turbotorque - thanks, and thanks for your other postings in this area - your threads have been most helpful!   But in terms of $700 "in my pocket" - that's my point ... its not in my pocket, not if i'm getting a lease, right? Its a small fraction of that every month "in my pocket" ...   So does anyone know roughly how much it equals each month? (i.e. $700 extra on total cost of car = "x" per month extra on a typical 48 month lease ... what is the value of "x") Replies to this message: turbotorque (Nov 28, 2004 12:02 am)

Replying to: coguk (Nov 27, 2004 6:41 am) Well, it seems that you're thinking like a "payment buyer" - you're only looking at the monthly payment. When someone tells me "only $10 more a month" for 36 months, I instantly think "$360". If I wouldn't be willing to pay cash upfront for that item that is "only $10 more a month", I won't get it.   Anyway, if you're happy with the deal being proposed, don't worry about the prices other people paid. I think some of the people saying "I just bought a BMW M3 for $300 below invoice, and the dealer gave me Kelly Blue Book on the trade" are blowing smoke up you know where...
