Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Just leased a 2019 Jetta. Is it worth pre-paying for Volkswagen Care?

We just leased a 2019 Jetta for 10k/39 mo. The dealer is offering Volkswagen Care which covers
It looks like the 2019 Jetta only needs servicing at 10k and 20k and then again at 30k which we may not even reach.
Is this worth purchasing? If you look at the VW Service Schedule, the factory required maintenance seems pretty basic. I'm surprised that tire balancing and rotation is considered optional at each of the service intervals.
- Prepaid maintenance to match factory service intervals
- Includes oil changes, filters, fluid, tire checks & more

I spent about $200 to get my Jetta serviced. Given how few miles I drove, I did the service based on time, not mileage.imac24 said:We just leased a 2019 Jetta for 10k/39 mo. The dealer is offering Volkswagen Care which covers

I'd pass on the pre-paid maintenance.Edmunds Price Checker
