Replying to: girlienoir (Apr 07, 2009 4:15 pm) I have always been a fan of VW, and a previous owner, but my nearest dealer is 35 miles away. I also feel, as do many others, that the Tiguan is overpriced by as much as $4000 - that's a whole year of extra payments. I have a similar reaction to the Lincoln MKZ versus the Ford Edge -- $5000 extra is an awful lot for a bit of bling!

2009 SE with 4-motion, no other options. 36 months, 10k/year. $394/month, incl. tax $1200 out of pocket, including first month's payment. Total cost: $14990 I signed. To be frank with you guys, I don't get the whole fretting over the MF and invoice price. I don't really care how they play around with the numbers, so long as I'm comfortable that that is a good price. Also, this is the first dealer I went to. I had previously spent a week getting a base-level Murano down to $375/month with tax, so I figured for $20/month I'm getting a better car and I don't have to go crazy negotiating. Am I wrong? Is this a bad deal?

Replying to: stoopy (Apr 22, 2009 11:35 pm) Also, purchasing it at $415 for 72 months means I'd be paying 3% interest. Where do you get that rate for a 72 month term? You can't even get that for 36. Besides which, I'm deathly opposed to purchasing new cars. Oh, and just FYI for everyone, VW has a new grad special that's not on their website (it's on the VW Credit website), with which you can get your first month's payment. So I've effectively now given $800 down, which includes acquisition, DMV, etc.

Replying to: jseinfeld (Apr 23, 2009 5:58 am) Post your MSRP, sale price plus fees, residual and money factor and we can more accurately gauge your deal. I was merely saying $400 a month with $1200 down ain't too great.

Replying to: stoopy (Apr 23, 2009 8:22 am) As I was saying earlier, however, it doesn't matter to me what the money factor or APR is. All I know is this: the car is worth a certain amount; in my case, let's say it's $29,000. After "renting" it from the bank it depreciates by a percentage of its original value; for the Tiguan, let's conservatively say it's 50%, i.e., the car is worth half of original value after I'm through with it, which is $14,500. This means that for the bank to break even, i.e., get back the $29,000 it gives to VW for the car, it has to charge me $14,500 and then hope it gets the same at auction at lease end. This means that my base monthly price should be $14,500 / 36 months = 402.78, not counting tax. Tax in my state is 7%. Thus, over the life of the lease, I have to pay about 50% of that, which is $1015, and over 36 months is $28.20. So my total, if the bank had its druthers, would be $430.98 (and they'd hope to sell the car for more than $14.5k). I'm paying $394, including tax. How's that not a good deal? Reverse the numbers. I'm paying about $365.80 as my base price. At that rate, after 36 months, the bank is getting $13,168.80, which means it only depreciated 45%, which is realistic, but also optimistic. Even if I could have negotiated longer and gotten the price down to $27,000, my deal is still good, as my monthly payments end up being 48%, which is within the ballpark for depreciation amounts. So, if you think I'm wrong, please educate me where the mistake is. I'm not being facetious here, I'd really like to know. Also, the $1200 isn't money I put down. I put $0 down, as putting anything down is silly in my opinion. The $1200 includes first month's payment ($394) (which actually I'm getting back due to graduating in the past 24 months), acquisition fee ($575), DMV fees ($187), tire fees ($7), etc.
