Owner Loyalty Available on 2006 Passat? by earcom

Does anyone know if VW is offering any sort of owner loyalty programs on the new 2006 Passat? And, can any owner loyalty program(s) be combined with the low lease rates that are being offered on the VW website?

Where (which city) did you get that deal dayna17? What was your out the door cost? What is the sales tax where you bought it?
 
Also, what options did you get in Package 1? Xenons? Homelink? Power memory seats? Rear Shade? Tiptronic? Do you mind listing the MSRP?
 
ej1111 where did you hear there was a zero down deal with low monthly payments?
 
Also, anyone hear about the VW Supplier Purchase Program? I guess VW has agreements with some companies to give discounts to the employees of those companies. I can get to a special VW site with a code and then print out a coupon but there is no indication of what kind of discount I would get.

I hate to be the "i have heard" person, but i have heard people going in and mentioning the advertised offer(the one posted above with money down) and saying ill take one now if i can get that deal without the money down. After talking with my local dealer i have a lot of confidence in that working, particularly if they have something on that lot you will drive away in.

There is no Owner Loyalty thorugh VW Credit on the New Passat. It is available on all of the other models. They (VW) feels that the lease incentive is good enough to get people in the door and down the road in the new '06 Passat.

Hmm, did some research on cars.com. Edmunds doesn't have this info yet I believe.
 
First, EPA is 22/31, apparently for both 2.0 and 3.6 models. That may be optimistic for the 3.6.
 
Second, you can't get xenons, HomeLink or Rear Shades at all until you move up to the V6. And even then, you have to buy it as a part of a huge package.
 
Pretty limited. You can get xenons and HomeLink on a Mazda 3 for heaven's sake!

We got the car in Plainville, CT. I assume you mean $0 down for out the door cost?
 
We didn't get Package 1, we got the "Standard" edition (base), right below package 1. They are also advertising a "Value Edition" which is only about $1000 less than the Standard, but not much of a difference in options. The MSRP was $23,900.

I bought my 2002 Passat after a 36 mo lease. I was not able to negotiate a lower price but paid about 14K for the car. I was under the mileage allowance and thought I should buy it for now. It was quite simple to purchase. If you have any questions, let me know.

jblash, thanks for your experience. A few questions:
 
Did they include CPO status or an extended warranty? For what price?
Did they offer you a good finance rate?
How much mileage did you have at lease end?
Are you happy with your purchase and has the car held up?
How much have you spent to maintain and repair your VW after lease purchase?
What kind of climate do you live in (I am in the hot/arid climate, car has held up well for 2.75 years +/-, with partial garaging.)
 
In my case, I have a 2003 GLS Tip/Leather that will have about 28,000 miles at lease end that has not given me any problems. I like the car, and have run the numbers, and it may save me between $2,500 and $5,000 to purchase and use for another 3 years assuming I will spend about $1,500 in maintenance (tires, oil, allowance for two major services) and assuming $1,500 in repairs, depeding on the final purchase price, financing available, and ability to get CPO.
 
If VW does not offer CPO status for about $1k or less, deal become shakier.
 
Right now, I have not seen any car out there that is compelling enough that it is a must buy/lease over my Passat (looked at the TL, G35, Legacy GT, decided not to look European again.) although these were all nice cars.
 
Final decision will be based on what market has to offer in Nov/Dec 2005, but figure I will call VW shortly (before CPO 2.9% financing expires) to discuss options and negotiate, if possible.
 
When I had a SAAB as my last lease through Chase, they were desperate to get rid of it (very poor resale on these). They dropped the residual almost $4k with little discussion.
