May Specials

While April had the great sign-then-drive program, it ended today. However, this month of May, along with allergies, there are three cars that can be leased under $199 with $1,999 due-at-signing (Rabbit S 2 dr., Jetta S and New Beetle Sedan S). Available with $0-due-at-signing is the New Beetle, New Beetle Convertible and Passat.

VW.com shows:

Rabbit S 2 dr.: $189 with $1,999 due-at-signing, or
$239 with $239 due

Jetta 2.5 S: $198 with $1,999 due-at-signing, or
$249 with $249 due

NB Sedan S $189 with $1,999 due, or
$249 with $0 due

Passat 2.0T Turbo: $269 with $1,999 due, or
$329 with $0 due

Keep in mind that these cars are base cars. If the car you want is $1,000 more the payment will go up $30 more per month on a 36 months lease. These payments do not include taxes. Taxes are based on where you live and are calculated when you purchase the vehicle.

APR’s: 2.9% at 36 months with 5.9% at 60 months for most models. Triple White New Beetle Sedans get an additional $1,000 VCI APR bonus and R32’s get a $2,000 VCI APR bonus.

0.0% for a full 72 months on the New Beetle Convertible!



Loyalty: Owners of 2001 or newer Volkswagens can get the following Loyalty amounts on the purchase of a new Volkswagen:

New Beetle: $ 500
New Beetle Convertible: $ 500
Passat Sedan/Wagon: $1,000
Touareg: $1,000

Competitive Trade Assistance Program: VW will offer $1,000 trade assistance for individuals purchasing a Touareg and trading in one of the following competitive models: Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, Volvo or Acura. This cannot be combined with national Loyalty offers.

I can make a great offer on Touareg V6 and V8.

As examples, the following programs are available on a model-by-model basis:

Jetta:
Lease: $198 with $1,999 due on S model, or $249 with $249 due
APR 2.9% APR at 36 mo., 5.9% at 60 months

New Beetle Sedan:
Lease: $189 with $1,999 due on the S model, or $249 with $0 due
APR: 2.9% at 36 mo., 5.9% at 60 months (great prices on Triple White Sdn)
Loyalty Owners of 2001 or newer VWs get $500 towards a NB purchase

Passat:
Lease: $269 with $1,999 due on 2.0T Turbo Auto, or $329 with $0 due
APR: 2.9% at 36 mo. 5.9% at 60 months
Owner Loyalty: Owners of 2001 or newer VWs get $1,000 towards their purchase

Touareg:
Lease: $399 with $3,499 due on the V6, or $489 with $489 due
APR: 2.9% at 36 mo. 5.9% at 60 months
Owner Loyalty: Owners of 2001 or newer VWs get $1,000 towards their purchase
Competitive Trades: Trade-ins of select competitive Brands get $1,000 towards their purchase of a new Touareg (not in combination with any national Owner Loyalty Program).

There you have it!

Posh Meets Practical in Jetta

Maybe I’m just slow on the uptake, but Volkswagens are much nicer cars than I thought. The VWs of my youth were affordable little cars for hippies and folks who couldn’t afford anything nicer. They were loud and smoky and good only as an excuse for punching my little brother in “Slug Bug.” The 2008 Jetta makes all of that a vague, distant memory.

This Jetta is luxurious. It’s a pleasure to drive. It’s downright posh. The 2008 Jetta boasts all the features and luxury of a car twice the price. We’ve got smooth leather seats. We’ve got a primo sound system with a six-CD changer and Sirius Satellite Radio. We’ve got navigation. We’ve got keyless entry. We’ve got spiffy alloy wheels. We’ve got a sunroof with not a crank wheel in sight. And yes, we’ve got seat heaters for a warm tush. That’s a lot of stuff, right? Well, we’re not through. Miraculously, the Jetta manages to have all this and still be affordable.
