Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 28, 2007 1:05 pm) Also, the Passat is OUT for me - I just drove one and my initial instinct was correct - I'm not comforable in bigger cars. Quite frankly, it didn't seem much different on the inside than a Ford Taurus. For some reason, I remember the Volks interiors to be more distinctive in the older models - maybe I'm completely off-base, but that's my feeling. I re-drove the GLI and it's pricey at 30k, but that type of car suits me better. I won't get as good a deal - 500 over invoice - residual is 53% and the MF = .00130, so the payments go up to 410, getting ever closer to an Audi's range. You guys can disregard my previous posts as I'm going to have re-think this entire situation. |

There must be some dealer cash involved there, because if you take that price, you aren't eligible for the subvented financing rate. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 29, 2007 7:17 am) money factor for wagon is .00125, residual 51% of msrp. Excellent salesperson (internet dept.); honest, up-front, absolutely no bs. Got me the color I wanted even though they didn't have it on the lot. Traded in my 06 Passat sedan, received a very fair price (even though one loses quite a bit in the first 2 years). Final cost: $308/mo., including tax. Having dealt with 3 other dealers in the area, this one is tops. Commonwealth: Orange County VW, Santa Ana, CA |

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 29, 2007 7:17 am) While staring out the window in the showroom, I noticed a pre-owned A4 I hadn't noticed before. It was new to the lot, I inquired on the price, drove it and realized this was the car for me. I haggled like crazy and ended up driving the A4 off the lot around 1am this morning. I think I did pretty well on the price. The following link is my car - it's all accurate except it's actually an auto - not a manual tranny. It's really a sweet ride. After 6 years of driving my beloved Focus ZX3, I'm finally adding an A4 to my collection. http://www.theautobarn.com/detail-2005-audi-a4-2_0t_quattro-2527697.html

Hello all and hope everyone's holidays are going well. If someone could help me figure this out - I'm trying to get into my first VW Passat lease. I went and test drove one and liked it: 08 Passat Komfort sedan 12k mile lease with $0 down Net Cap cost: $29251.48 MF: 0.00118 Residual of 51% Monthly payment of $423.60 Does this sound ok? I have a 3.2% tax for VA and the invoice price is $27,788 plus a $575 acquisition fees which this guy says he cannot take off. After that, I still am $988 and some change short of the net cap cost listed above....is it fair to assume that that's tax? or should I be asking him to take the acquisition fees and the $988 and change off? All in all, it looks like a decent deal to me - I just would like to know if there is any more 'wiggle' room to get the monthly payment lower? Thanks for any and all input in advance!

This seems high... you should be able to get a cap cost of invoice. How many komfort sedans do they have on the lot? Remember, you should be negotiating as though you were going to buy the car. Would you buy one for msrp? Probably not. It looks like the dealer is not cutting you a deal at all, since VW is floating the low money factor. Offer him invoice for the car; you'll still have to pay the acquisition fee, tax and license. Check out www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm which should give you a good idea of what payments would be. The VW site offers a base turbo sedan at $349/mo (plus tax & fees), (10k per year), $0 drive-off for 39 months. I can't imagine that a Komfort model with 12 k should cost you $80 more per month. VW picked up the first month's payment, plus I got $2350 owner loyalty since I owned a VW (2006 sedan traded in for 2008 wagon). Good luck! |

Replying to: parvez (Dec 30, 2007 7:39 pm) The actual invoice is $27,788.00 plus a $575 acq fee and $988.48 in taxes. I do not pay anything upfront and VW takes care of the first month's payment as well. Does it still sound high? Kindly do let me know since I want to get in on this offer. Thanks |

Hi, If you're getting the car at invoice, you should be ok; ask them if VW has any other dealer incentives they can pass on to you to help defray the tax and fee. (They actually should quote you a figure which includes ALL tax and fees, otherwise it's not a $0 down lease.) Be sure to get enough miles included -cheaper to pay upfront rather than at end. BTW, if you have ANY use for a wagon... I'd definitely get that instead of the sedan. It drives the same, gets the same mileage, and is versatile. I think it looks better than the sedan (and it definitely is more useful). Since you're leasing the price difference is negligible. Money factor for a wagon is slightly higher: .00125 vs. .0018. I had the sedan for 15 months... really like the wagon now. Good luck... |
