Broused this thread - great that you're providing this info to all us "tire kickers". A big thanks in advance.   Can you provide me the money factor and residual on a 2006 V-10 TDI Touareg 10K miles per year for 2 years in WA state?   Kipa Replies to this message: Car_man (Feb 19, 2007 4:15 am)

Replying to: bassmiesternj (Jan 27, 2007 1:00 pm) Hi, I wouldn't buy or lease the Touareg. Go with a Honda, Toyota, Acura, BMW. The Touareg is impressive on a test drive, floats like a feather on the highway. You are gonna have very noisy brakes. Do some careful thinking and research before plunking down 35K+. I regret I bought the Touareg. The Dealer Network and the most unfreindly and helpful I have found in my purchase of any product!

Replying to: bassmiesternj (Feb 17, 2007 1:39 pm) Hi,   Lets see...5500 miles.   The brakes squeal like a pig at every stop and they can't be fixed says the dealer and now at 5500 the DRIVE shaft is defective and needs replacing. I have owned Honda's and Toyotas and done nothing but oil changes for the first 60,000 miles. The vehicle drives well, but not worth the headache unless you happen to live next to a VW dealership which has technicans and managers who want to repair your car.

Replying to: bassmiesternj (Jan 29, 2007 5:53 am) You're very welcome, bassmiesternj. The easiest way to get a good deal on a lease is to negotiate the lowest possible selling price on the vehicle that you want and then have the dealer calculate its monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor. Just make sure to specify that you want the dealer to work up a lease without any down payment.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: sebis (Jan 31, 2007 2:11 pm) Hi Sebis. Unfortunately, Volkswagen's lease program on the 2006 Touareg TDI is not very attractive right now. If you were to lease this truck through Volkswagen Credit right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00301 and 53%, respectively.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: kipa (Feb 01, 2007 7:57 pm) Thanks Kipa . I'm glad that you find this discussion so helpful. As I mentioned in my previous post, I am sorry to say that Volkswagen's lease program for the 2006 Touareg TDI is not very attractive right now. If you were to lease one through VW Credit for 24 months with 10,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00301 and 65%, respectively.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: carb1776 (Feb 18, 2007 8:27 pm) I sold my 2004 Touareg a few months ago. Miss it alot, but not the visits to the dealer. The brakes never made a sound when I kept the wheels and brakes clean. I've been following this board since the beginning and don't recall many complaints about noise, except for what I call crud squeek, common to German and Swedish cars with metallic pads. You have to carefully wash your wheels and brakes by hand, using a high pressure stream of water directed at and around the calipers. The car wash won't get it. A little compressed air wouldn't hurt either. You see the black dust on your wheels - it's gotta go away every week or two. The problem is worse where it rains alot. The dust turns to rust and sticks tenaciously to the brake parts. Japanese SUV's don't have the problem because they use a hard, organic pad. Their cars don's stop for beans either. For a 5500 pound truck, I think the brakes have very impressive performance. My complaint is the cost of almost $2000 when it comes time to replace pads and rotors at about 40000 miles.   The drive shaft thing has been going on for years. You'd think they'd have that figured out by now. Takes a couple of hours at the shop and that should fix it for good. I had to have a new transfer case at 1500 miles. Never a lick of trouble from it afterward.   If you want to drive German cars, you better get to know and love your service department. The same goes for Audi, Porsche, BMW or Mercedes from what my relatives and friends tell me. Some of them cover all required maintenance for a few years in the vehicle cost, which you end up paying for anyway. Of course you could always drive a Japanese or American SUV if you wish to sacrifice a little driving "soul." I bought a Ford Explorer V8 and it isn't too bad in the soul department, but it is crude compared to the VW. Never thought I'd buy a Ford, and no, I do not like the door pulls and it is not even close to as good off-road as the VW. Lots of power, comfortable seats, good stereo, good brakes, good in the snow, decent handling and tows well. Replies to this message: carb1776 (Feb 19, 2007 6:06 pm)

Replying to: southjerseyvw (Jan 20, 2007 9:49 pm) Matt, I have been trying to find out if there is any difference in the 06 and 07 diesel. I have an 06 V8 and love it but dealer has a great deal on a left over diesel. But. I want to know if any difference in the 06 and 07 diesel engine. No one there can tell me. Thanks, Jim Holley
