Hello, I just moved to LA and am a first time buyer looking to lease. I saw a 2007 Jetta Wolfsburg edition that I really like with a MSRP of 21544. The best deal they could get me down to was $290/mo with $2500 total down at 39 mo 15,000k/yr. After looking at cars in the LA area all week it seems like a good deal to me, but I don't really know. What do you think? There' s also some scratch option that protects you when you return the car at the end of your lease from paying any damage fines for minor dents, tires, or scratches that brings it up to $313/mo...

Replying to: niclaf77 (Feb 20, 2007 5:42 pm) As far as this car's lease program goes, its March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease with 12,000 miles per year are .00077 and 55%, respectively. Using these numbers, an MSRP of $18,205, and a selling price of $17,800 ($200 over dealer invoice), I estimate that this car's zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $238. So yes, that would be under your target $250 per month range. I am not aware of any owner loyalty offers on the 2007 Jetta right now, but you should check with your dealer to make certain that there aren't any. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum |

Replying to: rrcoleman (Feb 25, 2007 9:15 pm) The first thing that I noticed about this deal is that you are considering making a $3,000 down payment. I always advise consumers against making down payments on leased vehicles. I do so because if your leased vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered, there is a good chance that your down payment will just disappear. Besides, I remember how tight money was when I was in college so you probably have better uses for the three grand that you were going to put down. I also noticed that you never mentioned this car's selling price. This is a very important number to find out. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Make sure to negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer calculate your car's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor. Volkswagen Credit's current buy rate money factor for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition is .00095. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum |

Replying to: moesantos (Mar 01, 2007 7:17 am) You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what its selling price is. I personally would pass on the scratch protection option. I have found that most manufacturers' captive finance companies are fairly lenient when evaluating the lease-end condition of vehicles. Even if they do hit you with an excess wear and tear penalty, the $900 that you will end up paying for this coverage over the life of your lease would cover a lot of damage. Of course, if you feel as though the piece of mind that this coverage provides you with is with $23 per month you can get it. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum |

I'd like to thank car-man and other in this thread. This is my first time leasing a car. Reading through these discussions help me understand all my leasing doubts. I actually created a spreadsheet for my PDA with automatic calculations. This is based off a web page in edmunds . Thxs to car-man. This helped me run the numbers. I was off by only $40 compared to what the dealership agreement showed. Car-man this is yours for the asking if you wish. thxs again.

Hi. I am looking to lease a 2.5 Jetta. The options on the vehicle are as follows: 1) #1 package; 2) Cold Weather Package; 3) automatic transmission; 4) sunroof; 5) enhanced stereo. The price is listed at $23,195. I have been quoted at $274/month, for a 48 month lease, which will allow 10,000 miles per year. The residual value was quoted at 49% and the money factor is 0.00125. Is this a good deal, or should I keep shopping. Thanks in advance for any advice you can impart. roccorocco
