Hi
Could you tell me the dealership? We are looking for 12k miles and sunroof and would love to pay $300 a month with first monthly payment at signing. I am in nj. Is this number realistic for a 2012?

That's a big help, Car Man. That is exactly what they quoted me on the money factor and residual value. As for the invoice price quoted, it was spot on with what edmunds had listed. Sounds like it's a decent deal...
 
Thanks for your help!

Just closed the following on a 2012 Passat SE with Sunroof (No Nav).
 
500 due at signing (that's first payment, taxes, title - I have to pay for my tags when it comes in (~$40))
$268 per month for the next 35 months
12,000 per month
 
My taxes are 6.75%
 
Thoughts on the deal?

KMS does 268 a month include tax?

#1052 of 1184 Car Man...2012 or 2013 VW Passat in Central Florida? by cargirl123

Hi Car Man,
I am going to plan on leasing a VW Passat this month. I won't finalize anything though until it gets your blessing as a good deal! I am a young woman that does not want to be taken advantage of at the dealership.
With that being said...first off should I focus on leasing a 2012 or 2013 2.5L SE Passat. My understanding is that there are little differences between the two. My goal is ultimately lowest payment with $0 down.
Thanks in advance!

Hi cargirl123. I completely understand. While there's probably not much of a difference between leasing a 2013 and a 2012 model at this point, I suspect that the '12 sill be slightly cheaper. I'd probably go that route if I was in the market for a Passat.
 
Once you have figured out which one you want, hop on over to the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com and look up the MSRP and dealer invoice price for the car you want, exactly as you want it equipped. Add a few hundred dollars to the invoice price, subtract any available cash incentives and have the dealer work up your payment using that number and the car's buy rate lease money factor.
 
I can provide you with much of this information, once you get the model and pricing figured out.

As a general rule if you were to BUY the car you would almost always do better to purchase a leftover (In this case the 2012) than a new model year. In the case of leasing this is not often the case. This is especially true when the car in question has no major changes for the new model year. The reason is that with a lease you are paying for the car minus what it is worth at the end of the lease. In this case, the 2012 car would be one model year older at the end of the lease so it would be worth less. You are wise to move cautiously when dealing with Car Salesman. Take your time and make sure you check ALL the math. Often people in the car business will make a deal seem better by adding charges or extending the term. In the case of a lease make sure you keep in mind that need to plan for changes in your life during the term of the lease that might cause you to go over the mileage allowances. In addition get some independent reviews of the dealer and lease company as to how picky they are when you return the car at the end of the lease.The internet has many sites to help you with this. Some low cost lease companies nail you for every little thing they can when you return the car. I have had friends that had charges well over a thousand dollars for tiny stone chips and tires that were 75% saying they needed to replace all four. I know there are many good and honest car dealers out there. But you need to protect yourself from the dishonest ones. Good luck!!

Thank you so much.
Please let me know what you think of this deal.
MSRP - $26,400
Lease End Value - $14,784
Initial Cap Cost - $25,824.55
LMF: .00022
Term: 36
Miles: 12,000 per year
Money Down: $500, but I would also have to give $1100 to be whole on my trade in since they will only give me $10,000 for my trade in and my balance on my loan is 11,000.
 
Vehicle - 2013 SE no nav or sunroom. Just their basic SE with leatherette.
 
Thanks!
