Replying to: qbrozen (Jun 22, 2006 6:56 am) What is leasing support? As for the mistake in the numbers, that may have been my error. Correction: MSRP: $28,865.00 "Initial Cap Cost":$26,844.00 Does this mean they are selling the car at $26,844.00 ? Thanks very much for your help!

Replying to: avoman (Jun 22, 2006 9:47 am) Money factor is the interest rate. For some reason still foreign to me, they use this weird .00xxx number instead of a straight and coherent x.x%. The important part is that current standard bank rates for leasing are in the .002xx range. So when VW gives you a money factor of .0008xx, that means they are giving you a low interest rate. Low interest rates for leases is a form of leasing support. A manufacturer can either offer special rebates for leases or low leasing rates to help dealers move cars off their lots via good monthly lease payments. Only thing that is bugging me is that I can't come up with that MSRP through carsdirect. A 2.0T FWD with package 1 comes up at $28,430. I tried adding various things like splash guards and floor mats, but I just can't seem to get $28,865. Do you know what else they might be throwing in there? Seems like maybe some kind of dealer installed garbage like wheel locks or pinstriping. Well, in any case, I wouldn't sweat that. The nice thing is, $26,6 is invoice on that car with no extras. SO you are only a couple hundred above that, which I think is a good deal. And the money factor is low. What is this "annual fee"? Is that your annual registration cost? I'm guessing that's what this is. If so, everything looks pretty good to me. But I'm no pro.

Replying to: avoman (Jun 21, 2006 3:46 pm) As far as the lease that you are negotiating goes, the money factor that you were quoted, .00087, is right in line with VW Credit's buy rate factor fro a 36 month lease of an '07 Passat 2.0T Wagon. This is a good sign because it means that the dealer you are working with is not trying to mark your vehicle's money factor up to add additional back-end profit to your deal. The other items that you mentioned, like the security deposit and acquisition fee look good to me as well. The other main profit center on leases is your vehicle's selling price. If I am interpreting your post correctly, it appears as though you are paying full MSRP for your wagon. Is this correct? If so, you should try to negotiate a lower selling price with this dealer or comparison shop a little bit with other dealers. The selling prices of leased vehicles are almost always negotiable.

Replying to: jjret (Jun 26, 2006 8:34 am) As far as this car's selling price goes, a base 2006 Passat 2.0T Sedan has a spread of around $2,000 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices. You are being given a discount of $1,166 on the specific car that you want. I suspect that you may be able to negotiate another couple hundred dollars off of its price. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose. Using the prices that you were quoted, an MSRP of $27,455, and a selling price of $26,289, and VW Credit's actual lease program, I estimate that this car's 36 month, 12,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $326 a month, just like you were quoted. This is a good sign because it means that the dealer you are working with isn't playing games with the numbers to add additional hidden back-end profit to your deal. Anyhow, try getting a larger discount and see what happens. Another $500 off would lower the payment for an identical lease to around $313. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forums |
