They would not give me a lease breakdown sheet.

Lease breakdown sheets are of no value if you put together a target deal first. If you have a target deal put together, you’ll know what this should cost, making it very, very easy to compare.

If you havent put together a target deal, a lease breakdown sheet doesnt really help you either, since you still don’t know what it should cost.

Long story short, take a giant step back from talking to dealers and put together a well researched target deal.

Being in NJ wouldn’t it be better to go for an EV9 and take advantage of the tax exemption on evs?

4

I did consider the EV9, but I do take road trips where I feel an EV car can be a bit of a liability.

5

How often are you doing 300+ mile road trips

6

At least 3 to 4 times a year w/ family to Canada (about 500miles 1 way)

7

If you haven’t put a target deal together using LH calc at least put this one in there so you can learn and make it easier to review. Post link.

VW (and Ford) leases are usually awful.

You can probably do better on any other brand.

9

Doesn’t VW offer some low financing rates now? Would financing be the better play here if you really want the Atlas?

10

get a nissan pathfinder or mazda cx90. they should be cheaper than this

11

Not sure if it’s regional or national, but vw.com says 2.9% for the Atlas (or $2.5K customer cash).

12

Problem is, CX90 and Pathfinder are pretty much the same size as the MDX I am in now. The next step up are the Grand Highlander and VW Atlas. Both of these are pretty much the same size and def have more room than the MDX/CX90 size SUVs.

13

Atlas play is definitely financing…and especially if you don’t know how to use/put together a target deal using LH calc.

So your target deal is worse than the dealer quote?!

A real target deal uses an aggressive but realistic discount off MSRP, all incentives/rebates, base MF, RV for your term and a DAS of your choosing…I like to do DAS of first and any dealer/govt fees.

PS, there are no decimal points in RVs.

16

I guarantee you that the rv for this vehicle is not 59.10%

You’re missing your fees.

Are there really no incentives?

How did you come up with that discount target?
