#564 of 1013 How do you guys do it? by simmons4102 Jul 24, 2008 (8:30 am)
Maybe the more appropriate question is where do you guys live and how far is your commute to work? I considered leasing my VW until I figured out that I drive 10K miles year just going back and forth to work. Good luck with that. What's the penality for going over the alotted mileage?

Replying to: garyw (Jul 24, 2008 8:22 am) My only big complaint with this car is that the city mileage has SUCKED. After 2 yrs of everyone acting like I was nuts, I even got a salesman to admit it doesn't get in the city even close to what the sticker price claims.

Replying to: johndude (Jul 22, 2008 4:47 pm) Welll... 1. I have done a little research and am not convinced the diesel is best idea for me. I lke the idea of getting better mileage but I know driving around looking for a station that has it and then having to pay more will start to make me crazy. 2. If I put no money down, do you think it is possible to get a top of the line jetta ( prob SEL) for #250 ish per month? The dealerships I have contacted don't seem to be able to find any 08 jettas with NAV out there so no I am thinking of getting an 09 and keeping my car in the meantime.

Replying to: simmons4102 (Jul 24, 2008 8:30 am) Well Im in college, and my campus is only 10 minutes away. The only places I really drive are to and from campus, and grocery stores haha. Plus I live in a "college town" so everything is close by. I should survive with 10,000 miles a year. If I see that I'm going over my miles I'll just have to carpool with the other girls that live in my house to campus!

Replying to: jessy1 (Jul 24, 2008 8:30 am) Gary, What how many miles are you getting to the tank? you using low octane fuel?   Im still working on my first tank of gas. 150ish miles on a half tank so far. Went my first 100 on a 1/4 tank and I was praying that the trend would continue. I justed to drive a Jeep GC got 17 or so mpg and cost me 75 to fill it up.If I can get 325 - 350 on a tank in my Jetta I'll be happy. Fill-ups should cost 3.4 of what they did in my Jeep.
#569 of 1013 crapp mileage by jessy1 Jul 25, 2008 (6:29 am)
I do mostly city driving and am lucky to get 200 miles per tank. Has ANYONE else had this experience with their jetta? Replies to this message: simmons4102 (Jul 25, 2008 6:38 am)

Replying to: jessy1 (Jul 25, 2008 6:29 am) WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!   Sorry to hear that. Are you one of those types that are first off the line and the first to the redlight? With gas prices so high I try to keep my VW under 2000rpm as much as possible. Have you taken it to the dealer? what did they tell you?
#571 of 1013 Jetta 2008 SE or should I wait for the 2009 model? by jaymes Jul 28, 2008 (8:15 pm)
Car Man: I'm in the market for a 24-month lease for Jetta SE. College graduation gift for my daughter. Do you think I'd get a better deal on a 2008 model or the new 2009 model? If I didn't want to put any money down, what would be a good monthly lease rate for either 12,000 miles or 15,000 miles.   Thank you.

What is the big attraction about leasing??? If you buy, when you pay it off, at least you have something to show for it. Leasing to me is like paying rent. Lower payments but nothing to show for it. What am I missing?? Replies to this message: gpsac (Jul 29, 2008 7:42 am)

Replying to: ndmike88 (Jul 29, 2008 6:12 am) must have missed math.   in a nutshell... if you lease the right car (high resale value = high residual) then you can fairly easily lease a car for 24 - 36 mo for roughly half the payment you would have on a purchase loan lasting twice as long.   these are general statements, but the key to remember is starting with a car that has a good track record of resale value.   here's a quick example:   last year i leased an 07 honda accord accord se v6 sedan. msrp was like $25k. of course they were discounting them last spring in anticipation of the new 08 model and that helped buyers and lessee's.   now honda has had great resale on their cars for a long time. i leased it with no cash down other than first payment and license fee for 24mo 15k miles per year. payment is $185 + tax or 197 a month.   now lets say buyer #2 comes along and gets identical car on a purchase. same deal as mine would be roughly $23.5k. with no interest that's $400 a month for 60 mo.   again the key to an intelligent lease deal is starting with a car that traditionally had held its resale value well. if you think about it even if you did not want to lease you'd want to be looking at a car that held its value well!
