I am in Southern California, here is the quote I got.
$2,780 drive off
$310 monthly including tax.
 
Sounds reasonable?
 
Thanks.

Hi l0vemyvw. I personally wouldn't turn my Jetta in early and waste the final two lease payments if I was in your situation. There's no hurry to get into a new GTI. Auto sales are very slow in the U.S. right now, and I don't anticipate them picking up any time in the near future. I suspect that Volkswagen will have some pretty good deals available when your lease is scheduled to expire in a couple of months.
 
Don't be too worries about your car's excess wear and tear. Most manufacturers' captive finance companies, like Volkswagen Credit, are fairly reasonable when assessing the lease-end condition of vehicles. It would be silly for them to nickel and dime you to death on your current lease and risk angering you and losing your future business. You definitely should not perform any maintenance on a leased vehicle other than changing your car's oil regularly. Anything above and beyond that is a waste of money. If your tires are really bald, you may end up having to replace them.

Hi tsa1. Volkswagen Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 GTI 2-roor with 12,000 miles per year are .00085 and 54%, respectively. The money factor for an otherwise identical lease of an '08 GTI 4-door is the same, but its residual value is 53%. The numbers for a similar lease of an '08 R32 are .00080 and 58%. Volkswagen is providing a $500 cash incentive on leases of the '08 GTI through VW Credit, but no lease cash on the R32.

Hey Car_man,
You seem like the go to guy in these forums. I'd be really appreciative if you could provide me with the current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease on a 2008 GTI 4door with 12,000 miles. Also, how far under MSRP is a good deal. Is it possible to get invoice or below?
 
The dealer quoted me a .002 money factor. Is this correct? FYI, I'm located in TX (not sure if that makes a difference).
 
Hope to hear from you soon!!

R32 Lease by sciopth

Hey Gang
 
Thought I'd share my R32 lease info in case it is useful:
 
Blue / no Nav
12k miles
36 months
$380 / month + tax
1st month paid
nothing down
 
Dealer claimed they weren't making any money on the deal. Who knows, but it seemed fair after a lot of back and forth. Hope this helps you.

Here's the info that you're looking for, flim_flamini. The money factor that you were quoted is way too high. VW Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 GTI 4-Door with 12,000 miles per year are .00085 and 53%, respectively. Volkswagen is currently providing a $500 cash incentive on leases of this car through VW Credit. If I was in the market for one right now and I was in an area that had a decent level of competition, I personally would shoot for a selling price of around $500 over dealer invoice, which is really right around invoice once the $500 incentive is taken into account. Make sure to stop by the "Volkswagen GTI Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion for additional feedback on GTI pricing.

Awesome car, sciopth. Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your lease with everyone. Examples like this are always helpful for other community members who are in the market for similar vehicles. Make sure to hop on over to the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of Edmunds.com to share your thoughts on your recent dealer experience with others as well. Enjoy your new ride...I know that I would .
