2010 Volkswagen Lease Rates – December 2010

logo_vwMy Take: Some minor changes in the VW line up. The Jetta S residual drops 1%, but the MF has been lower to compensate. Also I think there was a typo on last month’s Golf lease rates. It was listed as 61%, but it’s 52% this month.  Not sure what happened there, sorry about that. The CC remains a strong lease with the uber-low money factor. The GTI is unchanged, while the Tiguan has a lower money factor and same residual as last month. VW is doing their infamous Sign-then-Drive which means nothing out of pocket for you, all fees rolled into the lease and VW picks up the 1st month payment. That is technically how it’s supposed to work, so be sure to look for that in your paperwork.

09 VW Touareg Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_vwMy Take: As I mentioned before in the VW CC post, it seems VW is going the “Lease-to-Buy” route, with these lower residual values/lower money factors. Normally, I wouldn’t mind owning a VW, but their reputation for quality is a bit “spotty”, so I would probably think twice about leasing the car and buying it out at lease end. Factor in the fact that VWs have only 36-month bumper -to-bumper warranty and you really have to think long and hard about this before you pull the trigger. I guess I probably would do this as a 3rd car, but not so much as a daily driver.

0% Financing on All 08 VW models

VW is introducing 0% financing on all 08 VW models until Halloween. As for 09 models, you can get 3.9% financing on those. Pre-owned vehicles also have fairly low interest rates if you plan to purchange one. As always, when there are low-interest financing loans to be had, I will always recommend those over leases because nothing beats free money.

My Take: Three years ago, it used to hurt every time you had to gas up a Touareg …with today’s gas prices, I think it pretty much kills family budgets, ruins vacation plans and makes grown men cry. So what is the consolidation price? Ultra-low MF for those looking to lease one of this gas-thirsty urban family haulers. Doesn’t seem to help all that much since the residual values are terrible.
