09 Volkswagen CC Lease Rates – June 2009

logo_vwMy Take: Looks like the VW CCs are falling under the “lease-to-buy” category now. I would skip the Sport model since the residual and money factor are still a bit too weak for my taste. Instead, opt for the Luxury, VR6 or VR6 4motion models if you don’t mind buying them at lease end. If you plan to lease and return, I recommend skipping the CCs altogether and going with something like an Accord.

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.

2009 Volkswagen GTi

2009 Volkswagen GTi 2dr HB
24-month | 15k miles | residual 55% | .00111 base money factor
36-month | 15k miles | residual 48% | .00111 base money factor
48-month | 15k miles | residual 41% | .00163 base money factor

09 VW Jetta Lease Rates – May 2009

logo_vwMy Take: I highly doubt that most of you actually care about the Jetta leases, but I figure I’d post it anyway since it’s there. Think of this post as a “lessee-beware”. I think the gas-powered version should have better lease rates this month.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta

2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan TDI AT
24-month | 15k miles | residual 59% | .00302 base money factor
36-month | 15k miles | residual 52% | .00302 base money factor
48-month | 15k miles | residual 45% | .00322 base money factor

09 VW GTI Lease Rates – April 2009

logo_vwMy Take: GTi rates looks pretty decent. The residual is fairly low, but so is the money factor. As a matter of fact, it is actually lower than their lowest APR for purchase financing. So leasing, is probably the cheaper option. I’ve always had a soft sport for the GTi, but the honeycomb grill needs to go. They should go with the chrome-nose that the Jettas and R32s have to keep things in the VW family more uniform. Anyway, not a bad lease-to-buy candidate, if that’s what you want. The lowest financing APR available is 3.9% for up to 36 months. There are two cash rebates for customers this month, a loyalty one worth $500 and a $1000 for any customer financing with VW. The Loyalty rebate expires tomorrow and the $1000 customer cash expires on 5/4/2009.

09 VW CC Lease Rates – April 2009

logo_vwMy Take: There is $1000 customer cash on the VW CCs this month if you finance through their financing arm, so be sure to factor that into your calculations. The lease rates look pretty decent to me, so I would definitely recommend taking this ride for a spin and see what kind of deal you can pull off. Now, regarding the “special financing”, there really isn’t anything special about it. The shorter terms have a lower APR while the higher terms pretty much screw you over at a 6.4% APR for 66 months. Couple of things to keep in mind, the CC leases best at 36-months, so be sure not to go under or beyond that. The 24-month lease is a bit low on residual, with only a 4% increase. You can increase your 36-month residual by 3% by opting for the 10k mile lease, so it is pretty clear VW is trying to discourage you from going with the 24-month lease. Another thing to watch out is that not all CCs are created equal. The sport trim has the highest residual value, which will yield the lowest monthly payment. Now the 48-month lease is the cheapest, but I would stay away from it unless you don’t mind the extra costs that come with being out of warranty and replacing tires. In most cases, stock tires should last until the 36th month of your lease if you do regular rotations and don’t drive aggressively. With 48-month terms, you are pretty much guaranteed to replace them by the time your lease matures, so don’t let the “lower” payment fool you!

UPDATE: the $1000 has been pulled. Bummer. I know.

09 VW Passat CC Lease Rates for February 2009

My Take: There is $1000 cash back on the CC unitl March 2nd, 2009 so be sure to take advantage of that. The money factor is fairly low , just shy of 3%. The residual is pretty good as well, so be sure to consider the VW Passat CC Sport. The only downside I see here is that the Sport model doesn’t have a lot of options.

09 VW Jetta Lease Rates for February 2009

My Take: Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day! I’ve been out all day shopping for a cellphone for the missus so it’s been a busy day. I also spend a good chunk of time browsing at Circuit City for heavily discounted crap since they are going out of business. I’m disappointed to report that some of their stuff is still fairly expensive. Now their CDs, DVDs, Video Games & Accessories are like 40% off so don’t miss that! Anyway, back to leasing news!!! Solid residual and decent money factor makes the Jetta Wolfsburg a good choice for a compact sedan (This thing has the same 2.0T engine found on the Audi A4, VW CC, TT, A3 and VW GTI to name a few). Sale prices should be around invoice plus there’s $500 customer cash available. Remember not to exceed past the 36-month lease since VW warranties only last up to 3 years.
