Hi there. I'm very new to this so your website is very helpful! Esp since I'm a female (30 yrs old) and have never bought my own car before so I'm nervous after having heard so many horror stories about car salesmen taking advantage of women thinking they don't know anything! Anyway, I work for a VW vendor so therefore the agreement allows us to get a car at the dealer price. I have an appt with one of the general managers of a dealership in Miami, FL coming up so I just wanted to go in with some background info to make sure I'm getting a good deal. They currently have the "sign&drive" program where I don't have to put any money down or pay the first month. I don't have a preference for a particular Jetta model, but just not looking to spend too much money and don't need all the extras/fully loaded/etc. Ideally, I'd love to have my payments under $200/month if at all possible and my credit is really good, if that matters. So my questions are: 1. How can I find out what the "dealer price" is so I know that's what he's offering me? 2. What options/room do I have to negotiate if they're already giving me the dealer price? 3. I'm responsible for "tax, title, license and other fees", would you have any idea how much that would add up to? 4. How much do you think I would need to bring with me if I were to lease the car that same day? Thanks for all your help!

Hi Carman, Okay, So, I got 3 good (?) deals from my local dealers in Phoenix and I am not sure how to proceed. I am trying to lease a 08 Jetta SE Automatic (w/ no addtl add ons). Expecting to 1) pay no money down, 2) 36 months/12k miles a year, and 3) I have a credit score of 705. Here is what they are offering me each. North Scottsdale (only have upgrade with spoiler+mats) -MSRP: $22,139 -Sale Price $20,730 (He said 500 below invoice) -His quote is 324.80+tax ($351.11 total) Berge Service Center (base SE) -MSRP: $21,475 -Sale Price: $20,775 (he said at invoice) -His quote is $319+tax ($343.00 total) Chapman VW (base SE) -MSRP: $21,660 -Sale Price: 21,250 -His quote is $300.52+tax ($324.00 total) Okay. Obviously, the best sale price is North Scottsdale (especially given addtl items). However, cheapest monthly payment is $324 with Chapman. But, that doesn't make sense. Why is North Scottsdale monthly payment more expensive (with cheaper final sale price)? I contacted all 3 for exact break down of price (via email) and of course, I get the run around with confusing, parts, or misinformation. So here are my questions to you, Carman. 1) With your earlier postings, I calculated my monthly payments to be ~270+tax, what do you have on each of these dealerships? 2) I'm inclined to tell Berge and N. Scottsdale of the $324 total at Chapman, see if they can beat it. If not, simply go to Chapman, ask for the quoted $324 total per month for 36 months, 12k miles per year, and 0 down and call it a day. Walk out if they change or add a penny to the price. What do you think? Cant buying and/or leasing new cars be simple? Thanks in advance. Simple

What are current rates and residuals on a 2008 SE automatic and SEL with and without nav for 3 years and 45K miles? How much do they charge for acquisition fees, disposition fees, security deposits, extra mileage and any other fees?

Hi - I'm wondering how much I should pay for this before TTL? Is $18K a good price? And do you know how much GAP insurance should be around for this car?

Hi there, here'a deal I got while talking with the internet manager via email: Jetta SE Automatic 39 months, 15k/year Monthly payment: 307.47 (including tax) 187.25 due at lease signing (license, title fees, etc) Is this a good deal? I don't know whether I should go with this or not. I am young, and I cannot know where I'll be living in 3 years. Hm.

Quick question. Is the current money factor for a 2008 Jetta SE still at .00223? Many Thanks!

Replying to: vero277 (Nov 01, 2007 8:13 am) You can look up the dealer invoice price of the car that you are interested in by visiting the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com. If you are already being given this car at dealer invoice, there really isn't much room to negotiate. As far as how much money to bring with you when you go to lease your car goes, you would be better off bringing your check book or credit card instead of cash.

MSRP = $21,475 selling price= $20,583 24 months/12k miles per year: $334.25 plus tax = $357.65, first payment due at signing Is this a good leasing deal?? Can someone calculate money factor and residual based on this offer? I would greatly appreciate it. I'm so frustrated by this whole experience. Thanks, guys. |
