Hi Friends,

I’d love some feedback on this quote. I think it is still too high but maybe I am crazy. I live in the Houston, Texas area.

I am currently in a lease with a 2021 VW Passat. 18K miles on it. Perfect condition. Blackbook trade-in is $19550. Lease buy out is $17,697.

I am trying for $0 drive off. I have asked to remove the Protection package (originally $990) and they still did not take it off. I also do not want to put $1500 down. MF is .00247 (5.93%). That is after a 40bps markup. On this quote, they cut their markup in half.

I value everyone’s feedback so I am all ears. Thank you!

Ummmm, post the quote?

Marked up MF and “mandatory” protection package already big red flags.

Thank you for confirming what my gut reaction was too.

Hey, at least you checked here BEFORE signing. I’m a long time lurker and you wouldn’t beleive how many people ask about their terrible deal AFTER signing.

This deal looks terrible. I know TX tax is different but you could probably find a broker on here and come out way ahead of this with minimal effort.

100% agree.

I have never used a broker before but I did look into it last night. That seems like the route I may end up going.

You need to understand how leases work. Without a huge amount of support from the bank, your lease will suck.

In Texas specifically you also need sales tax rebates.

Combine the two and you are wasting your time with a Q5.

Check the Marketplace for Texas and see what good programs coincide with sales tax rebates, if any.
