Finalized this afternoon after deciding between an odd range of vehicles (Tiguan, Infiniti QX60 and Infiniti Q50). The QX60 was nice and the numbers were good, but the car was too big for my wife driving and parking in the SF/Berkeley area. I couldn’t get close replicating some of the Q50 deals I have been seeing here but for the NY/NJ/CT area.
For the Tiguan, one other dealer was getting down to $250/mo with $1,000 DAS, but that was as close anyone was willing to get. I can’t get the exact numbers to reconcile in the LH calculator, but it seems the the score would be ~11. Thoughts? Most deals on LH seem to be for the S, so sort of went solo on this.
2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SE FWD
**MSRP: $27,935 - can’t find this exact MSRP on the VW website, but close.
**Selling Price: $21,010
**Monthly Payment: $228 including tax. $208 without tax.
**Down Payment: $0 but $1,000 DAS, including cap cost reduction, taxes on reduction, first months payment, license, registration, doc fee, etc.
**MSD: N/A
**Incentives: My employer is part of their partner program. I also returned a VW lease, but I can’t see how exactly that was incorporated into the selling price, if at all.
Nice deal for an SE! I have the Tiguan S, and I just realized that I can’t live without keyless entry and push button start. I feel like I’m going to pay for my mistake by being eaten by a horde of zombies while fumbling for my keys.
I’m still a but fuzzy on leases sometimes. So, help me out here, if you would. Your residual is $18,437 and selling price $21,010. Couldn’t you have just paid ~$3600 up front and been done with it? Instead, you are paying $6k, which seems like a helluva lot to me to pay for such little depreciation.
I know you can do one pay with GM, but does VW offer one pay? I really want to like the Tiguan because the deals are so good, but something tells me the deals are good for a reason. I need to drive one again, it’s been about 6 months or so.
Yeah for the incremental increase in price, I’m not sure why people arent pursuing the SE more. The larger screen and leatherette seats were important to me, at least.
Was on a VW lot yesterday and they had a Tiguan SEL R-Line, wow, pretty sweet looking with that body kit and overall appearance. Looked on Edmunds though, and the MF is almost double that of a S trim and the residual on the R-Line is only 59%. Does that make sense? Makes the R-Line unleasable if true…
Considering that many have been getting their Tiguan S around 200/mo this is a super solid deal. The screen, better seats and keyless entry are totally worth a couple extra bucks a month.
The Partner Program certificate I was able to print from my employer was for $500 off the dealer invoice price. I would be interested in this deal in the SE Michigan area if anyone was able to get similar numbers.
Edit : Also, what does DAS mean? Sign off payment of sorts?
