09 VW GTI Lease Rates – May 2009

logo_vwMy Take: This is an okay lease for May. Not sure I’d call it a good lease-to-buy right now since I would have preferred a sub .00100 money factor since the residual drops below 50% after 3 years. However, I’m sure that’s not something a sizable discount on the sale price can’t fix.

  1. Has anyone heard anything as to the latest money factor and residuals for the GTI this month (July)?

    • @warren. I haven’t seen the GTIs in a while, are you in market for one? I can see if my local VW is willing share those numbers with me. Got a specific trim in mind?

  2. Just curious for the most part. I’ve been considering it, but I hear there’s the new Golf TDI due out later this year which might be worth waiting for.

  3. I’m also thinking maybe the new 2010 Golf TDI might command a better residual for VW. I guess it depends on how the Jetta TDI is currently doing.

    • @warren. May’s Jetty TDI’s numbers had it around 59% at 24 months and 52% at 36. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them float around that range when the Golf comes out.
