Replying to: shtutman (Mar 26, 2008 7:11 pm) If you're not in the area, here's my advice - Just be stern, strong-willed and patient. They started me at 340 per month and taxes and fees down. They also said they had to charge extra because they didn't have my car on the lot. I told them I didn't want anything down, so they removed it. (They keep going back and forth to their manager - it's mostly for show! I used to never bargain like this for cars and probably got fleeced a few times, but this time I went in with a plan.) They kept saying $340 was all they could do, so I pulled out my research. I had looked earlier in the day and found out that other dealers in the area had the Passat in the color I wanted - one dealer had 7! So, I basically said, "Tell me why I should pay you extra for the car, when I can go to the other dealers and buy it straight?" Immediately, they went down to $325. They kept trying to meet in the middle. This is where you have to be patient and willing to leave. I just kept waiting them out and saying that I didn't want to pay extra for the color, etc. etc. Eventually, after many trips, they pulled the "If I can get you this price will you sign tonight?" I said sure and the rest is history. With your trade, you should get $2000 in incentives so you should do fine. I traded in a car, so that helped, but the $2000 is a great deal. My Father-in-law just did better than me a day later on Long Island. He got the same car, with the all-weather mats, for $309 nothing down or out of pocket. He was turning in a Jetta as well. The dealer took one payment and he had to pay the other. So, I think you're in good shape. Just be strong, persistent and willing to leave. Have another dealer as a backup plan. Good Luck!

Replying to: thailux (Mar 29, 2008 5:55 pm) I am also in Albany area. Which dealer did you use? How do you negotiate the lease terms. The money factor is not advertized. They tell me that the 349 a month for a wagon advertized on the web is already discounted. What are the incentives that you list in your lease ? Thank y ou.

Replying to: wagon2 (Apr 03, 2008 7:29 pm) In addition there was a dealer incentive of $750 last month for leases of a Passat. I am not sure if that's still going on. Finally, you just have to use the calculators online and make sure that the price they are selling the car for is a good one. I leased my car at Cooley Volkswagen. |

Here is the deal I was just emailed. Now keep in mind that I am planning to lease a new 08 Accord!! I have my heart set on a EX-L 4cyl, with Navi, BUT........ Requires $2k to be in the same payment range as the Passat!! 2008 VW Komfort Passat MSRP: $29,000 Standard lease specs $324 a month $0 DOWN!!! This means keeping my money in the bank, still drive a very nice car, a few more options than the accord... But I really love the new accord!! I totally have my heart set on it, but after all it is only a lease. But, this blows the Accord lease out the door!! What do you guys think I should do... Also, I saw a $311 payment on this same model, can I get to that payment!? What would you do? They are both great cars, but this is really interesting.
