Hi Tom. I don't believe that Volkswagen Credit is leasing 2006 models any longer. You might be able to find an independent bank that will lease you this car, but chances are if you want it that you will have to either finance or pay cash for it instead of leasing it.
 
I am not aware of any dealer cash incentives on the '06 Passat. Volkswagen probably paid out its dealers on these units months ago.

Hello mcook4. Don't worry about the acquisition fee and doc fee that you didn't notice when you were at the dealership. Volkswagen Credit charges a $575 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. Furthermore, most dealers charge some sort of doc fee and $50 is a pretty low one.
 
What you were told about Volkswagen only offering 48 month leases on the Passat was not correct. You can lease one for any length that you want. In fact, if I was personally in the market for one I would probably go with a 36 or a 39 month lease.
 
I would be happy to give you my opinion of this deal, but it would be much easier for me to do so if you were able to provide me with this car's MSRP first. It will show me how much of a discount you are being given on it and it will enable me to use VW Credit's actual lease program to work up a sample lease payment.

Hi mnvw06. You never mentioned the selling prices or MSRPs of the cars that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers 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 what this vehicle's selling price is in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of these deals if you let me know what these numbers are.

Hi dano23. Let me begin by saying that $4,000 is way too much money to put down when leasing. I always advise consumers not to make any sort of capitalized cost reduction on leased vehicles. Those who make them, risk losing part or all of their money if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though your monthly payment will be a little higher, you would be much better off going with a zero down lease.
 
Let's take a look at the deal that you were offered. A base 2008 Passat KOMFORT has a spread of around $1,800 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $1,790 discount that you were quoted on the specific model that you want looks great to me. Just make sure that the dealer you are working with uses VW Credit's buy rate lease money factor of .00151 to calculate your car's monthly payment and you're in business.
 
Let's see what the monthly payment would be for a zero down lease of this car. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2008 Passat 2.0T Sedan that has an MSRP of $27,790 and a selling price of $26,000 through Volkswagen Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $382.

Hey sidecut. Volkswagen is currently providing $3,000 dealer cash on the 2007 Passat 3.6L Wagon. If I was in the market for this vehicle right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of right around dealer invoice minus this dealer cash.

#460 of 1180 help by carteach

Nov 09, 2007 (11:42 am)

My daughter is looking to lease an 07 preferably, Passat
3.6l 4motion. She has a 2003 wagon (the model right under the all wheel drive model) that needs about $1000 worth of body work. Smallish tear in door frame leather and a nickel size deep ding on the hood... not sure what else.
 
So.... how does she approach this? And I want to know if all of you feel the 4-motion drive is worth the huge price difference?
 
If there's a thread here already that can help me, please send me to it.
 
Thanks so much.

I got a 2007 3.6L 4 motion. I bought it because I was coming out of an A6 Avant and I like the all wheel drive. I drive in bad weather especially snow alot. If you dont then I wouldn't bother.
 
I believe you will have a hard time finding lease deals on a 2007, The programs I know about ended October 1. There is at leat $3,000 factory dealer cash on the table. So you should be getting a price of invoice minus that ay a minimum.
