    Hi, my base MT R will be here next week. Looking for MF and Residuals for 36/10. Is 10k the minimum annual mileage for VW? If I can do 8k would also want info for 36/8. Thanks so much!

    10K/yr is the lowest.

    I'm looking to lease a 2016 Golf R with DCC, Nav & DAP at an msrp and selling price of $40,245 in IL. Adjusted Cap Cost is $39,858... Lease term I'm pursuing is 36 mos., 10k miles, and $0 down. I will pay all acquisition and DMV fees up front. In IL, sales tax (9.5%) is rolled into the monthly payments. However, I also live in Chicago which levies a "use" tax (9%) on lease monthly payments. When I calculate all this using a money factor of .00188 and a residual of 68%, I come out with a payment of $552/month. Does this sound/look right? Dealer came up with $614/month.
  • therealayntherealayn Member Posts: 13
    You can lease an S3 for cheaper than that. I too really want an R but at .00188 it just doesn't make sense to lease. :(

    We would need to know the MSRP in order to figure the payment. Lease taxes in Cook County are a killer.

    MSRP was in the original post - $40,245 ;) Yeah, Chicago taxes are insane. I'm thinking of registering the vehicle where I work, in the 'burbs...

    S3 doesn't come with a manual tranny and the test-drive was blah...

    Sorry, all I saw was "selling price". :wink:

    Using your prices, I get a payment of $473/mo before tax. If the total tax is indeed 18.5%, the payment jumps to $561/mo. Pretty close to the dealer quote of $552/mo.

    Ya I am in the same boat. Would really want MT, but it just doesn't feel right to pay the same or even more for a car that is 15k less expensive MSRP to MSRP. I really want the R but leasing it is too expensive. So I'm leaning toward the S3.

    Thanks for confirming my numbers. I calculated $552. The dealer came back with ~$614...

    Any idea how they could have arrived at that number? They were using the same MF and Residual I was working with. I was at the dealership for about 2 hours and my blood sugar was plummeting when I was presented with the lease contract. Since we were way off, I decided to walk away.

    Yeah... I'm not willing to settle on the S3. Now, the S4, I might bite on that; even with an auto tranny/DSG. There's a dealer nearby that has (7) 2016 S4's on its lot. I was able go negotiate selling price of one with an MSRP of $56k to $47.5k. I wonder if I go in towards the end of the month, if they'd bite on a selling price offer of $45k... If Audi further sweetens the money factor for the S4 in the coming months, in order to move the last batch out, I might pull the trigger on one...
  • therealayntherealayn Member Posts: 13
    The S3 is more nimble than the S4, but yes, if there's a MT S4 somewhere I would JUMP on it, but my dealer looked and I also searched around hard and there is zero manual S4 to be found. :(

    The only variables in a lease are the cap cost and MF.

    Dealer told me there basically isn't a cap cost since the lease figure of $409 is based off just the MSRP alone.

    In other words, no discount from sticker? Hmmm ... read back through this thread, and I think you'll find that some discounting is available on the Golf R.

    Might be time to reach out to other dealers.

    I just tired Edmonds Lease calculator vehicle specific Golf R but I notice that it sets the Money Factor field to 0.00125 every time unless you manually change the figure. I was just wondering why it chooses 0.00125 instead of 0.00188?

    My guess is that the calculator assumes it's a GTI, which it is not.

    Better to build your own lease calculator, then you can control all the input numbers:

    I'm in Illinois... For a lease, is it customary to apply the taxes to the residual of the vehicle or to the calculated monthly lease payment, with interest included?

    In IL the state level taxes are applied to the sum of the lease payments, with interest.

    However, if you live in Cook County, there are county level taxes that are assessed to the monthly payment, as well. Makes for an onerous total tax obligation.

    Thank you so much for your assistance I have gotten a few quotes from out of State but each one doesn't compute correctly as far as I can tell. This one is from a dealer in the Bay Area do you mind telling me what you think? I know the money factor is definitely off. Also technically what zip code should I be entering in Edmonds lease calculator? The vehicle/Dealerships location or where I live here in Oregon?

    Sale price = $41,295

    Term = 36 Months

    Money Factor = 0.00238

    Residual Value = 67% ($27,667.65)


    Allowed miles = 10,000

    Down Payment = $565.13

    Monthly Payment = $565.13

    I get $543/mo plus tax, so the calculations look to be correct.

    However, the MF is marked up the max - base is .00188. That alone will shave $35/mo off the payment.

    I'm in Illinois... For a lease, is it customary to apply the taxes to the residual of the vehicle or to the calculated monthly lease payment, with interest included?

    In IL the state level taxes are applied to the sum of the lease payments, with interest.

    However, if you live in Cook County, there are county level taxes that are assessed to the monthly payment, as well. Makes for an onerous total tax obligation.
    Thanks! Do you know of a lease calculator I could use to help determine a Cook county resident lease? I just don't trust the figures I'm getting from dealers... My calcs are ~$60 less than what I'm receiving back...

    My Favorite Quote goes to my local dealer in Oregon for vehicle in transit $798. Plus they had MSRP markup to $47,000. I feel they deserve some sort of award.

    Golf R's are popular, but wow.

    Might be worth it to check Seattle, Bay Area or Boise VW dealers to find one more accommodating.

    Oh I did I'm getting the classic run around quotes that are off ranging from $600-$570 when target should be $430-$500. One told me a 1.5% difference in money factor doesn't change the price much! You got be joking that's a difference of roughly $2700 over the life of lease.
