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?

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")

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... |

I'm looking at leasing a new 05 Passat GLS for 36-39 months and I'm trying to get a good deal. In other words, I want to take the car's residual value and purchase price into account. I just received a quote from a local dealer stating the following: Selling price - $24,440 (MSRP= $26,030) Payment - $329.76 + tax (39 months) Mileage - 12,000/year Residual - 50% Can anyone tell me if they've received a better deal? That seems high to me. Any thoughts on leasing vs. buying? I'm ultimately trying to get a low payment and would purchase if the price was right.

For those, who considering 4Motion(4 cyl,6 cyl or 8 cyl). Compare maintaince schedules, it's "heavier", than without 4Motion. That means more money, time and problems with dealership. I did post my experience here(post 365), and it turned out it's not only my "bad luck": I came to the dealership about month ago and noticed guy(car owner), he was upset and one of dealership emploeeys asked him "What they doing with your car? Engine repare?" As I understood VW owner came there for oil change... But, it might be just here, in Memphis, TN. Good luck. |

Hi all, I am in the market for a 2004 VW GLS/GL Passat with automatic transmission. I am trying to take advantage of some year-end sales and deals that might come my way. Can anybody share their VW Passat buying experiences in the Chicagoland area ? Any dealers that I should steer clear of ? Thanks, ksubram1
