Hi, recently joined and tried employing at least some of the helpful lease tactics posted in this forum. This is the best offer I negotiated out of three dealers in the NYC/NJ area. Also used edmonds to see what others were generally paying in the area.

To get this rate, the dealer also wants me to put $1200 deposit to get the .00227 MF rate. But I think I can still negotiate around that.

TIGUAN SE, 4MO, AWD, SUNROOF, 3RD ROW
MSPR: $31,025
SELLING PRICE: $26343
MILEAGE: 7500/yr
LEASE: 36 Months
MF: .00227 (inline with edmonds for December in my area)
RV: 60%
SECURITY DEPOSIT: $1200
SALES TAX: 6.625 (paid upfront)
DRIVE AWAY COSTS: $2421 (including fee, acq, doc, reg, first months, taxes)
MONTHLY PAYMENT: $287 ($306 if want to pay tax everyone month instead of upfront).

Not a lot of tristate area deals to compare too but if anyone has thoughts or recommends, much appreciated.

It’s a nice discount and good RV but MF (while in line w edmunds) is killing this deal.
Also why you need to put security deposit if MF is inline?
Does it mean they have inflated MF prior to security deposits? And then asking you to put up MSD just so they could give you the actual rate?

that MF…

MF indeed! It definitely was/is inflated but still better than a few other places I scouted/emailed. I do believe I can bring it down with out the deposit but yeah it’s not the prettiest part of the deal by far.
