I wanted to express my appreciation to the leasehackr community.
I negotiated my first ever lease at Timmons VW in Long Beach! I had always purchased cars previously. The forums have been invaluable and converted me into a leaser!
A number of members helped out along the way. A special shoutout to @K04 - he shared information re: his Socal Tiguan deal that helped me tremendously.
Also, Timmons VW was a pleasure to work with. No games or hassles - in and out in about an hour. I always dread meeting the finance guy - the Timmons finance guy was super nice to deal with, less than 30 min and no BS.
Awesome deal and congrats. Glad you didn’t go with the lying VW salesperson on here. Funny how your MSRP and sales price is higher than his spreadsheet, yet your deal comes out cheaper.
Congrats! Here is the lease contract from rubbergash. The price on the spreadsheet is $18,550.00, but the contract says $20,205. I believe there is a $900 destination fee in there, so the numbers are a little off. Hopefully he’ll update the contract to provide a little more trust and transparency. I’m very happy with my deal, although you obviously got a better deal. But I’m sure there are a lot of people getting much worse deals.
When I went in, there was a Tiguan SE for $88 more a month. In retrospect, I wish I had gotten the SE. I hate taking my keys out of my pocket. I didn’t realize I much I hated it until I no longer had push button start. I was just so bent on getting the best deal, I lost sight of what I really liked in a car.
Before getting the deal from Timmons - I considered purchasing from rubbergash too, except he didn’t have orange in stock. When you add the $500 friends and family cert to rubbergash’s deal, then it’s pretty close to what I negotiated with Timmons.
Isnt the Tiguan Limited lower priced than the Tiguan S. I sent some feelers out after seeing this deal and they all came back with 275-350 per month here in Louisiana. SMH
