Because you are leasing the car you pay taxes on the monthly payment. In some cases a portion of these taxes may have to be collected up front, but it is all based on the lease payment. It is the same as buying an item in the store. Therefore, if you buy the car taxes must be paid on the purchase price.

Well, you're paying a portion of the sales tax every month as part of your lease.

Whenever I've traded in cars, I've always had the complete service record with receipts. The dealer could care less. I guess it has no value unless you sell it yourself -- correct?

I trade in so many cars and not even a dealer asks me about service records. They only care if the car has physical damages or been in an accident.

Service records really do add value to a high end car. Not much on a Chevy, Ford Dodge, etc.

Looking at buying this one, wondering what the dealer might have in it. At a Chevy dealer, don't know much about it yet but the asking price got my attention ($13.5).

sebring95 --- I can't believe your still shopping. To evaluate that jetta as a buy -- check out the 09 - 10 new jettas on the vw lot. If a base stick is ok, I think for a few grand more - maybe less- you can get a new one with free maintenance and warranty for 36k miles. 09 -17k 2010 18k. Heck -- for a few grand more I might sell you my jeep liberty.

I'm always shopping. Similar new base Jetta S w/ hand shaker is about $18k. So I save $5k (minimum) on a car with a good carfax, one private owner, & maintenance records. I'm not following the value of that new car?? Free maintenance doesn't interest me, I'll lose more money driving an hour each way to get to the dealer. I think you should keep that Jeep
