Looking for a GTI deal in Nevada, this is what I was given, as I know the leases are bad on these due to various things like money factor, etc. Any thoughts on this?
Not an expert on what a GTI normally will lease for, but rebate appears solid for the MSRP and the discount also seems decent as well. That payment (for 7.5k miles per year) seems high and in part is due to $2.3k in garbage add ons being thrown into the price.
Post up a calculator with actual numbers if you can as the sheet doesn’t really show much to break down the deal for MF, residual, etc.
Correct and thanks for responding. Yea the garbage can be taken off, still crazy to think a sub 30K car is $500 a month. At least there is a little to work with IMO.
GTI’s have never leased well. If you want a GTI I’d just finance one. It’s silly to spend $20k to lease a $30k car for 3 years then give it back. You can get roughly the same payment on a 5 year finance, and be way ahead of where you’d be in a lease after 36 months.

Yeah, my memory is that they were in the $400s/mo (and that’s not even necessarily effective price) even pre-pandemic, so this seems… about right (and not something that is particularly “leaseable”).
Not sure if OP might want to wait to see if they like the updated 2025 version more (revised infotainment, incl backlighting).
The programs for all 24 GTI trims appear to be the same this month: $2k incentives, one pay discount.
Like we tell everyone, put together a target deal and move to a strategy of making offers if this is the car you want. If you ask a dealer “how much”, they’ll tell you what they want you to pay.
Are you sure you want an S tho? It was missing some things I wanted when I bought my manual 23 SE which I love. Keyless entry, wireless Android auto, bigger display/road sign detection, etc. This may be different now tho as haven’t checked…
It’s a definite pass at the current structure especially for a base S model for now.
I would rather have an SE trim but I cannot justify the $150 a month payment difference. As all cars are ridiculously priced right now, its one of the few vehicles I like that all 3 dealers here have in abundance sitting on lots…was hoping someone wanted to deal on one. Where im at they are selling civic sports at these prices and I rather a GTI
Any idea where i should start on a base and move up from there? Any info would be appreciated.
Well, imagine using your key every time to get in (I think it may have an old ignition slot too) and also plugging phone in and out every time for AA or Carplay…ugh.
And yeah Civics have very weak engines in them!
Maybe look into a 22 or 23 low mile used SE…

Your discount/rebate look good but the add ons hurt that.
It has intelligent key push button on doors and push button ignition if im understanding your answer.
Im going to ask them to remove add ons and give me the money factor to see what that looks like. I dont mind the plug in of the AA
Oh, that’s better but I’d still look into low mileage SE if you can’t swing a new one.
Get the MF yourself at Edmunds lease forums and make sure you can calculate the payment yourself using calc here or a spreadsheet…otherwise things will change when you are in finance and you won’t know what it should be. Be prepared and know how to calc lease payment yourself or you will overpay.
Looks like buy rate MF is 335 (ask them yourself at Edmunds) which is over 8% before they mark it up…ugh!
If you take a look around Marketplace and Signed Deals & Tips, you’ll find that some cars are preposterously cheap right now.
Mostly EVs which I want to stay away from. Problem is these dealers in NV will not budge as I took in a deal from a out of state dealer and they said we cant do those deals in NV. 2 different dealrs told me this…maybe time to buy out of state?
Your state boundaries are only limitations if you allow them to be.
Go look at Pre-Negotiated Deals in CA.
At least 4 gas options in the $200s with taxes/fees upfront.
Try for a 5% discount at least with available incentives. Also base MF and see where you are at. Also don’t be afraid to look out of your local area.
