id definitely prefer to lease, but not at over 1k a month. There’s just no good leases on the buzz
im looking for a pro s plus model.
Don’t buy this car. It’s unlikely to hold the value. Monthly payment should not matter as much as total cost of ownership over lease/loan term

thats my biggest concern is value 
but its the only EV minivan option. im also considering the EV9 if i can get my family to fit in it.
I am also itching to get one to park near Fiat 500e. It’s really is a nice funny car, but until VW becomes serious about getting them off the lots it does not make sense… in worst case I will get a 2yo old one later.
Where’s the discount? What’s the $7,000 cash down payment?
You must really hate the Atlas to dump it so early and eat the negative equity. Owning an ID Buzz for 7 years is another issue all together. You are going to lose a fortune on that when you decide to dump it in a few years. You can find used ones under $50K already.

7k iscwhat im putting towards my purchase then there is a 7500 rebate from VW
My 2025 atlas lease is up.
i dont hate it but i want an EV, i dont drive much (in 2yrs my atlas only has 8300 miles) and i wanted the buzz originally but when i got my atlas buzzes had high dealership markups and were not readily available
and i haven’t found any used Pro S plus with bench. i have been looking for used also.
but dealers seem to be willing to discount new ones (4-5k off plus 7500 rebate) soo im not sure if new would be a better option
Have you checked with Carmax, etc on a real world value to see if you have any equity in the lease with such low miles and hopefully great condition?
yep 41-42k has been the highest offer. carvana being highest
which makes me think if i had almost 20k on it, it wouldn’t be worth much. my residual is 37k
So you might have a small amount of equity if you bought it out (taxes)…you’d have more at a VW dealer or some other dealer that could buy (don’t know who can with VW).
Silly question.
How often do you drive with 6 people on board?
If this happen 3 times a week you need minivan.
If not get smaller car and rent thr minivan for family trips.
If this will not work …
Maybe Pacifica PHEV slightly used 
Daily. which is why im going with the id buzz. not going back to odyssey or sienna lol
