These things just aren’t that great of a deal right now, if it was like $300 or so with just first, I guess that would work. I got a left over 2018 in January of 2019 for $288/mo with just first 10k/yr and partner program.
That’s the going residual around here–I got the same residual from 4 different dealers, and it seems to be inline with what others are posting over at edmunds.
I worked 3 dealers pretty hard to get that deal, so like Joeblogs said, I think that’s just where they are right now.
Not sure if there will be better incentives when the 2021 refresh drops, or if this is just how they lease. My wife likes this car best, so we’re just trying to make sure we get a good deal.
Residual is so low compared to when I leased my daughter’s Tiguan SE about a year and half ago. I’m paying $262 a month including CA tax with 2K out of pocket for a 29XXX car with 10K miles so it’s not that bad I think.
There’s definitely allot of utility, I call it the poor mans Audi. Won’t win any races but the wife likes it and it’s not breaking the bank. The SE is the sweet spot, the S is too basic and the SEL etc are just more money for a few bells and whistles. Great size too, not some giant hard to park monster.
