Replying to: jsiggy1 (Jun 11, 2008 3:29 pm) 36 months 10,000 miles. If I chose 48 months, which I am considering, the monthly payment will drop 10-15 bucks. for those interested, the dealier is: Bayside VW in Queens NY. I have seem bad coments about Bayside service center, and I must say that in my experience with my last 2 leases, the sale person have been nice and decent. The only downside to this deal, is that they don't have the car and I may have to wait 2-3 weeks until they get me one. -I can wait. |

I just leased a Passat Komfort for my parents in MA. I've leased a few cars now, and have found a process that seems to work well for me (with lots of help from these forums and especially the car_man!). I email a few dealerships' internet sales manager that say something like the following: "I'm interested in leasing a Volkswagen Passat Komfort in Black, Grey or Silver for either 24 mos or 36 mos / 15k per year. THe options I'm interested are heated seats. Please provide me with a quote via email with the following info: MSRP Purchase Price Residual Money Factor / INterest Rates Inception FEes - Please itemize. I usually get an email reply asking me to come in and go for a test drive. By this point I've already driven whatever vehicle I'm leasing so I simply reply that I already have and am interested in the financial details. Some try to call instead of email. If I get a voicemail (I travel internationally for work) I just send another email saying that I got their voicemail and to please send me the information via email. Once I have the information from the dealers, I compare them to each other and to what I read in the message boards here. Then I pick one and go into the dealership to do the paperwork. Just leased my mum a black passat komfort with tan interior. Includes IPod Adapter and heated seats and rubber floor mats. Drive off/inception fee was $790, which includes the first month's payment. Monthly Payments are $289 including tax. Lease is 36 months / 15k. I'll have to check, but I think that the residual was 47& and the money factor was .00018 The original offer that I got was from Quirk VW. The internet sales manager's name is Mark Gallagher - very good guy to work with. Unfortunately Quirk didn't have anything in Komforts other than Blue Slate or whatever that color is. Minuteman VW in Bedford, MA was willing to match the offer and get a black passat from another dealer, something that Quirk says that they don't do. So we did the deal with Minuteman. The whole process from initial email to sign took approximately 1 week.

Ok - this has been great reading, but i have never leased a vehicle and want to run some numbers by you all since it seems we are at the end of the 2008 vehicles and perhaps there are great deals to be had. It looks like most people are paying 0 down and that is not the deal we are currently considering -- please advise $2k down $312 month/48 mos. first month 'free' maintenance booklet covers all maintenance for 4 yrs (supposedly) residual is somewhere around $12,300 Thanks in advance! |

| Hi Car_man and/or kyfdx -- I'm not seeing any response to my earlier posts about the VW Passat Wagon - help? thx | |

I am researching a Passat and received the following from a dealer in Florida. http://www.vw.com/passat/offers/en/us/#passat . Is this a good deal? When I run the numbers in a lease calculator, it looks like they are selling the car for around $17k to get to that payment. |

Replying to: lepia (Jun 11, 2008 2:58 pm) your deal seems too good to be true! what was the name of the sales person at bayside VW you dealt with? i'm thinking about taking a trip out there from staten island this weekend. considering all the incentives and their advertised "92 hour sale" i can't see why i wouldn't drive the car off the lot! i can see online they still have a lux in the color i want! i would love to tell them i heard about your deal in hopes they can extend the same terms to me thanks in advance! nick

Replying to: nickp327 (Jun 20, 2008 12:27 am) I picked up my car last night. I could not believe I was getting this deal until the contract was signed. I thought the dealer was going to pull a fast one on me; so as I was getting the contract from them, I started reading carefully to see all the numbers. -they were honest. How I got this deal: I assume I got this deal for the following reasons: - I was a previous passat owner and purchased from the same dealer. - I got the owner loyalty rebate - I have 750+ credit rating - I usually pay my monthly payments one month in advance. Basically, I was always a month or two ahead in payments. - Last, I must say the dealer was honest. I dealt with the manager directly. As a saleman, he is one hell of an honest guy. - I brought business to them, 2 clients already. You can use my name as a reference. He gave very good deals to my friends as well. -Not as good as mine though. but it was probably for the reasons above. they paid 35 and 40 more then me a month. Send me an email and I give you the name. I dont think one can provide sale person's name on this forum. send email to lepia3000  hotmail.com and I give you all info you need. Not all, but must of the sale people at Baysde are good people. Good luck. |

Replying to: delta737h (Apr 19, 2008 9:41 am) I know its been a couple months...but what was the miles allowance for the Touareg above - 10k? 12k?. I'm negotiating a Passat Wagon VR6 4motion - the base price is similar to your deal - but I still can't get to the monthly payments. My deal: MSRP $41,040 Neg Price $36,487 36mos 15k/year $0 drive off .00024 7.75% Tax out here Residual 44% $558.32/month w/tax They added some type of family loyalty thing $1000 discount to get to the price. Any thoughts - how low can I get this? |
