Replying to: Car_man (Feb 19, 2007 3:24 am) Can you tell me the cost factor and residual I am likely to get in the Seattle, WA area at this time for the following:VW GTI 4 door with auto, navigation, leather. I am interested in a 36 month lease with no down and 15,000 miles per year. Additionally, since this is my first foray into leasing would you explain how the payment is calculated in relationship to the cost factor. Finally, and I am not quite sure I've worded this correctly, are there any special lease cash incentives being offered by VW at this time. Thanks, Kam

Replying to: Car_man (Feb 19, 2007 3:24 am) Would these same rates apply to a 48 month lease for a 2007 GTI 4 door pack # 2? I got a quote of .00279 and 51% for a 48 month quote. Are both of these figures negotiable or are they set by VW ? Also, do you know anything about Driver's Option financing that is available from VW. Would that be a better option than leasing and are the rates the same ? Thanks !

I apologize for jumping right in with questions, but I'll be happy to share my experience once I've completed it. At this point, here are my questions: 1. Is there any way to find out when a dealer took delivery of a car...which would indicate how long it's been sitting on their lot? I have a copy of the vehicle invoice from the dealer I'm working with...it doesn't show any invoice prices (only MSRP), but it does show a production date of July '06 for the car and an invoice date of 8/23/06. Does that mean it's been in their posession since the end of August (i.e. sitting on the lot for almost 7 months)? 2. How hot a seller is the GTI right now? I'm looking at a gray/anthracite w/package 2, the 18" wheels and some other goodies. MSRP is $31,165. They made first offer at $30,287...I'm looking to get it down to about $29,250. When I countered with that number the sales guy went into the "these cars are unique and hot, I'm selling them for $2,000 over MSRP with no problem" dance. I actually laughed his MSRP+$2000 figure. I love the GTI, this is the car I really want. But I don't want to get taken; the tC and Civic Si are close contenders (IMO) and each are considerably less expensive. If the GTI is 100%, the tC and Si are 95% IMO. Any thoughts/opinions on the numbers these guys are throwing around? If they're legit (based on what I've read they don't seem to be...) I'll play ball, but if they're just jerking me around I'll walk and go elsewhere. BTW...this is in St. Louis MO. Thanks in advance for any help y'all can give.

Replying to: tonestert (Mar 13, 2007 11:29 am) VW Credit's Driver's Option program is what is known in the industry as a balloon note program. Balloon notes are much less popular than leases. They are usually only used over leases in states that have tax laws that make balloon notes less expensive than leases. I don't think that this car's monthly payment will be any cheaper through the Driver's Option program than it will be through the lease program. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum |

Howdy Car_Man, What are the MF and Residuals on a 4-door GTI with a 24-month or 36-month lease with 15K miles per year? Thanks! |

Any MF / residual number changes for May? I'm trying to calculate a lease on a 4-door GTI using a 2-year or 3-year term with 15K miles per year. Looks like their finance and lease specials of April have carried over into May. Thanks! |
