Volkswagen Lease Special

Volkswagen 2010 CC Lease Special

You've probably seen the commercials on the new 2010 Volkswagen CC Sport. You can lease one for $279.00 a month. As it's name suggests, the 2010 Volkswagen CC Sport is an attractive car which would appeal to anyone who appreciates the safety, fuel efficiency, fit, finish and German engineering of a Volkswagen. If you're tired of the reliable, but predictably boring appeal of the popular Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, you might take a serious look at this sporty new offering from Volkswagen. Japanese cars lease so well because of their reliable, proven track record. On the other hand, there is really something different about the solid fit and finish of German cars and the way they drive. They just feel more substantial. The doors clunk when you shut them and the steering wheels, knobs, dials, pieces and parts of the interior just feel so good in your hands. So, when I saw the TV advertisements for a lease on the new, 2010 Volkswagen CC, I decided to see how their offer compares to the latest October Lease Specials.

If you got excited when you saw the low, $279.00 payment, your jaw probably dropped in dismay when you saw the $3,299-down payment requirement. This is why I always go back to the Average Monthly cost part of the formula. What does it really cost you to lease the car after you figure in that hefty $3,299 down-payment? The total cost of your lease payments over 36 months plus the down-payment (including 1st month payment) equals $13,064.00. That averages out to around $363.00 a month. That doesn't sound quite as good as what we thought. The Lease Value Ratio is 1.31%. (Average Monthly Payment / MSRP) Not horrible, but no where close to to this month's winner, the Toyota Camry, at 1.03%. Read the rest of this entry
