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.

2012 Volkswagen Lease Rates – March 2012

VW just bumped the lease cash for the CC by $250 bucks AND is providing 0% financing for up to 72 month!!!! There is a drop in residual value, so I think the extra cash was introduced to offset that (keeping the lease exactly the same as Feb). The MF is already very low (0.00009 vs 0.00012 in Feb) so there was only so much they could go before having to drop some more money at it.

Either way you go (lease of finance), I think you’ll find that a good deal can be had on the CC this month.

2012 Volkswagen Lease Rates – February 2012

No change on the residuals, but you will notice a slight drop in MFs for a few models. That’s good news for us since it just got less expensive to borrow money from VWC. The CC is not a bad deal this month since there is $1500 lease bonus available to customers. However, nothing beats 0% financing for up to 72 months, so you may want to look into that as a possibility if you are open to buying. Check out the CC’s sample calculation below to get an idea on how the CC lease looks like this month. Not bad huh?

2012 Volkswagen Lease Rates – January 2012

VW money factors are really good this month. The problem is that the residual and discounts off MSRP are just “okay” on most models. Not exactly a recipe for great leases if you ask me. If you factor the “trade-in” issue and disposition fees, VW leases begin to look somewhat unattractive.

Oh! Here’s a random VW related incident. Last weekend, as I washed my wife’s Jetta, I noticed the sheet metal of the passenger side’s door was loose. Apparently a screw came off, which was weird. In the nearly 20 years I have been driving cars, I’ve never experienced that. Dealer fixed it quickly and it really wasn’t a huge deal, but it did get me thinking about the long-term longevity of VWs as a whole. Funny how such trivial things leave such big impressions on me. LOL.

2012 Volkswagen Lease Rates – December 2011

There has been a reduction on the MF for the Passat this month. That’s good news because I thought the .00099 MF last month was a tad high. It’s been reduced to .00058 plus the residual has stayed the same. The deal still isn’t as good as I thought it would be due to a measly 4% discount off MSRP in my region. Maybe you will fare better in your neck of the woods. If you are looking to lease one of these and then pay off the car in a balloon payment at lease end, it might not bad a bad idea since the interest rate is 1.39% on the lease VS 1.9% on a purchase. However, if you can’t do a balloon payment at lease end, just buy it using this 1.9% APR. It will be cheaper in the long run.

2011-12 Volkswagen Lease Rates – September 2011

Of all 2012 VW lease rates this month. Only the Passat shows a lot of promise ($1000 lease cash available and a good MF/RV). The CC isn’t half bad either because of the $1250 lease cash that’s available, but it’s RV and MF aren’t as good. Some good deals to be head, however, I should warn you…More and more people are reporting that VW will charge “market value” on payoffs if you try to trade-in the car before lease end. With that in mind, you better be willing to keep the car for the entire term of your lease or you will end up paying a pretty penny trying to get off your lease.

2011-12 Volkswagen Lease Rates – August 2011

2011 lease rates seem to be have stayed the same as last month (You can look at last month’s post for those numbers). No surprise there. There is a chance that rates could change mid-month, so I will keep you posted if anything changes. The CC still have the $1250 lease cash, but I don’t see the $750 cash anymore. It may still be available in some areas, so be sure to inquire about it.

For those open to buying, VW Credit is offering 0% financing for up to 60 month on the CC Sport DSG. In my opinion, that is a far better deal than leasing, since there is no interest on that loan. As a matter of fact, many VW models have the special 0% financing for up to 60 months, so you may want to have your dealer crunch out some numbers to see if buying works out better for you.

2011-12 Volkswagen Lease Rates – July 2011


The numbers are in! I know I got a bunch of comments to answer. I haven’t had much time since work has been hectic and I have been trying to recover from a cold.

In any case, here are the numbers! In my opinion, the numbers look kind of mediocre. Take the CC for example, I like the MF drop but the sale price in my area got jacked up by about $1000 according to TrueCar. That pretty much blows up the deal for me. Unless a few thousands can be shaved on the sale price, last month’s 39-month was better (see calculations below). 2011 models suffered some residual value drops, but some of these models also got a big MF reduction. This should help keep payment low. There are a few exceptions, the Tiguan, Routan and Touareg MFs jumped a bit.

More lease rates for other brands to come! If you are waiting for a comment, please hang in there. I will reply to you as soon as all the numbers I have get posted.

Thanks!
