Edmunds has reported that the average car sold for something like 20% off MSRP in Jan, IIRC. That would mean $4K off the average $20K car. Of course, if you get 0% for 36 months that is probably costing VW around $2000. So maybe you effectively would pay around $18K ($20K plus $2000 savings from 0%) and trade in after a year is around $13K??? So maybe it's $5k depreciation? Fitzmall has a couple of these listed with internet price of about $3K off MSRP. Replies to this message: betteb (Mar 20, 2009 5:33 pm)
