but do i have to bring in the car for services always at the same dealer ship or can it be any VW franchise then?
Iād highly recommend calling Eli (Boardwalk VW) - he made the deal so easy for me. No dealer tricks, just straight up. Enjoy a trip to SF and back. Tell him you heard about him from Taylor who bought a brown stick Jetta
So just add 1k for automatic?
$42/month?
Iām in the bay as well and would get a Jetta at your cost.
Any dealer. In my experience, the only time buying from the servicing dealership matters is when youāre asking the dealer for a goodwill favor out of warranty.
The difference for an automatic would be less than $42 extra. Youāre calculating 42 by taking the difference in MSRP and dividing it by the lease term. But youāre not financing the whole MSRP of the car over 24 months ā just the portion that depreciates. You will need to know the residual of the automatic model and the selling price to calculate exactly how much more the payment would be for an automatic. My estimate is the difference will be around $26 extra per month for an automatic. To me, thatās 3/4 of a tank of gas for the Jetta every month ā not worth it IMO.
For you perhaps, but manual is not an option for me.
Question is, is $198/month, everything included, worth it for a Jetta.
I think so. I think Iāll qualify for the $500 grad bonus too (so $185?)
Never leased before and you inspired my first post since it sounds like a great deal and itās nearby.
Went shopping for a Kia Optima Hybrid today, Iāll add this car to my list.
Iād take a S60 or Genesis at some of these prices Iām seeing tho lol
You can do better than that on a Jetta S. Iām paying $210 including tax for my Jetta Sport (36/10k).
@jmac63
I see youāre talking about 36 month,
the calculator gives me 128$ after tax for the jetta S
It does work out much better on a 36 month lease. I wanted 24 months, but it needlessly drove up the cost by a lot.
whats your money factor?
.00005 on the Sport.
I was at the dealer today and negotiated the following:
Jetta S Automatic with Technology (rear camera, apps, bigger screen etc.)
36m/30.000miles
$18,040 cash sale; included wear and tear + service package
$ 1,000 lease cash
res factor 52
0.00005 mf
$ 1,270 drive off (incl DMV, doc fee, bank fee etc.)
209 monthly
228 after tax
donāt forget it includes the wear and tear (usually 1295$) and Service (395$)
what do you think?
Is that 24/10k? And is the $1000 ādiscountā (assume thatās the lease cash) included in that $18040 price? Either way itās not really much of a sale on a car with an MSRP starting around $19800.
no its for 36/30.000miles
It seems kind of high to me. Iād push for a lower cap cost and more of the drive-off fees rolled into the lease (unless you really donāt mind paying them upfront). Check the websites of VW dealers in your area and see if any of them break down the pricing on their website so that you can see how much is a straight discount and how much is purchase incentives. It will give you a better idea of how much of a discount to the cap cost you can ask for. Plug everything in to the lease calculator to get an idea of how it affects the payment.
One of the dealers in my area actually put estimated lease prices on their website (based on a certain amount down), and I just called, told them the price I saw and asked how much it would be with zero down and 10k miles. Then I took their excellent quote and called other dealers asking them to beat it.
can you give me that website please? non of the dealers here have that tool integrated
the car starts at 20.865 though
okay, the offer you uploaded looks cheaper, but actually it is not:
it doesnāt include the service package, the wear and tear and it also has a downpayment, not to mention the taxes, fees, bank fee, first month. if i put everything together it amounts to 254$ (incl. the taxes on the monthly payment), the offer i got amounts to the same, but again, i do have these service extras and wear and tear, putting this into the lease hacker calculator i get 10years lease hacker score
with the same downpayment i am at 122$ before tax
