How did you come up with 20+% off as your target?
1 Like
I figured it was a long shot. I got 22% MSRP on my last lease, I must’ve gotten pretty lucky or the dealer needed to push the cars out.
Yeah, I figured it would be an absurd ask. That’s why I’m here for some input
What was possible last time you leased and what is possible now are not even remotely related.
In NJ, Rodo has it at $399 for 48 mos with 399 das … and that is if the dealer will even honor it.

Your last lease is irrelevant to your current target pricing. I’d recommend following the step by step instructions given above to work out where you should be targeting.

Don’t even know where to start at, do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for this
Sure do.
The best place to start is
Please read links in there such as “how to calculate payments” and other helpful articles.
It might seem like a lot but TBH there are fewer <60 minute exercises which will save you so much time, money and anxiety over your driving lifetime.
It may also save you (after your negotiations with LH input) inside the finance office where no one can from the internet can really help you.
Remember, it’s almost impossible to reverse-engineer the math starting from the output (monthly payment) and figure out if it’s a good deal. Start at the beginning.
Then scour shared deals and the marketplace for June numbers.

FYI everyone.
I just got back from the dealership and priced out a more expensive Tiguan SE than I originally built online.
MSRP: $32,3##
RV: 53%
MF: 0.00006
39/10k
$492/mo
$0 DAS
I was told there are no 24mo leases only 39mo. I did not try to talk them down, I want to price out some other vehicles before I pursue. I inputted this into the calculator and seems I would be paying over MSRP at this price.
Going to dealers and asking them how much they want you to pay is a bad plan.
Going to the dealer is for taking test drives and taking delivery. You need to work out your target deal on the vehicle to know what to negotiate to.
Follow the instructions you were given in this thread.

I wanted to get their quote, hence why I’m not driving a VW right now. I had already planned to go to the dealer to check the car out today as it is my only day free. They asked me to run the numbers and I abliged.
Just so I understand:
- you proposed a deal that was a long shot, even in normal times
- you got feedback on what would be realistic
- you got pointers on how to educate yourself and structure a reasonable deal
- instead of taking that advice, you went to the dealership to see what they would say?

And now every conversation with them about price will be referenced against this offer. You’ve allowed them to dictate the whole frame of reference. You’ve also ceased to be a quick, easy, no effort sale.

Just so you know, this isn’t my first rodeo. I have used this website in the past and have gotten a spectacular deal. Unfortunately my time is more limited these days. not sure why y’all are jumping to conclusions?..
You thought 22% off a Tiguan in June 2021 was worth sending to a dealer

Thanks for some links
Thanks for the input
Sure. You know that the Marketplace and Shared Deals can give you an idea of where things are currently (insanely bad for shoppers). Feel free to ask any questions you have along the way, and if you sign a deal please post in Shared Deals. Good luck.
