2012-13 Volkswagen Lease Rates – April 2012

2013 CC lease rates is out with $500 lease cash incentive. I personally recommend snagging a remaning 2012 because of the 0% financing for up to 72 months. The lease cash on the 2012 is much larger too ($1750) and the lease rate on it is still pretty good: 49% @ 0.00009 MF (Thanks for the info Mac).

Leasing is all about timing folks. You also have to do your homework and be flexible with what you want to drive. Leasing vs buying also plays a huge part in what makes sense. 0% financing for retail purchases is a no-brainer for most people, however, that also depends on the car you plan to get. If you plan to get married and start a family, buying a 2+2 coupe probably doesn’t make much sense, but leasing one does.

  1. Hi G, I just leased a 2013 CC from a local dealer this past Saturday and it looks like I should have waited for your April rates to come out! Yikes!
    I got a VR6 Lux edition with 54% residual /.00094 MF / -$2k behind invoice, granted you don’t have the VR6 Lux lease rates above only the Sport Plus edition, it seems I got ripped (or maybe not)! But then again, I got alot off invoice especially since its a brand new model that just came out! Thoughts?

  2. I got the following for 2012 TDI Passat with Sunroof and Navi:

    36 Month – Residual 57% – MF 0.00164 – Sale Price $29K

    Good? Bad? Ugly?

    • Chris, that doesn’t took terrible, but what was the MSRP? MF seem a tad high if ask me, but it is a TDI. So what did the payments come out to be ?

      • Relative to other leases, I don’t think it’s great. You are paying a premium to drive a TDI in my opinion. Not sure if it’s really worth it compared to a gas model. The residual doesn’t seem that much better than the gas models. The MF is certainly higher. Plus your discount isn’t all that great either. In truth, there are better alternatives out there for that price range. Specially if your payments don’t include tax and you still have to pay inception fees.

        • Thanks G. I’m in the market for car and am looking to maybe do a purchase on a mazda 3 just because of the MPG and it being around 20K almost fully loaded. The other car I think off that comes close might be the civic. Any opinions?

    • Bryan, sorry about that. Didn’t mean to ignore your post. It kind of got right by me!! Sorry! $2k below invoice is great! 2013 are not selling at a low price right now so that’s a great sale price. According to TrueCar, dealer cost is almost $1k back of invoice, plus $500 lease cash. It looks to me you’re going another $500 below that which is great. The Residual and MF are really what’s holding this deal back from being great. However, it’s still within an “okay” range, but just barely.
