I’m happy to support so will definitely look at being a super supporter for that extra boost.
At the same time understand some people are against the 5k down, it’s a company car and just the parameters they gave me.

Your in VA so 5k upfront is most of your taxes anyway. Be sure not to confuse “down” and “due at signing (das).”
Due at signing is total out the door. Down can be implied as an additional down payment on top of das as a cap cost reduction which is what’s frowned upon here.

Your company just tells you to go get into a lease for $5k down? That’s a pretty bomb-ass company.
Anyway, now that you have access to the full LH [Rate Findr], punch in maths that you believe represent a good deal with the $5k down that your company is asking you to put in. I assume your company is also smart enough to know the down payment and the due at signing payment are different.
Since it’s not your money, it’s not your problem about possibly losing the $5k if the vehicle is a total loss. For simplicity, just zero out the tax for now.
Take the details and reach out to dealers who aren’t as idiotic as the one who we’re making fun of in this thread. Tell them you want a Golf R at a certain sales price (that you think is reasonable) + the buy rate MF + the current residual.
The calculator will let you know what ~$X per month before taxes to ask for when you contact a dealership.
I know most users on LH think it’s best to do things online/text, but if you have the time, going into a showroom may be helpful since it shows you’re ready to transact.
AG’s wont do anything about ADM. ADM is ADM and is clearly marked as ADM on paperwork
Yeah, but ADM needs to be plainly/clearly disclosed. Burying it into a lease structure paperwork without clearly informing the borrower up front could be a violation.
My point is you gotta find a possible violation if you’re going to contact the AG.
So you work for JUUL?
what parameters did your company give you? The Golf R will not fit into them as a lease option, but if you tell us what they are, we can provide some options.

Having set up some of these types of plans for companies; they’re likely providing a subsidy to the employee (with taxes collected going to the fed/state). This approach gives the employee flexibility instead of just getting into some vehicle they may not actually want.
Like if you work for Enterprise corporate, you get a free car, but you have to select from the eligible fleet; and there are no Golf R’s.
If you want a fancy VW, you’re better off hacking an Audi.
There are times when the lease is so attractive that it makes sense to pay the same dollar amount of taxes as on a purchase. Clearly this is not one of those times.
