I'll let you know how it goes.
Received this deal for a '10 GTI 4DR (cloth with upgraded stereo).
MSRP $27,820 Sale price $26,769
money factor .00112
Lease Term: 36
Total Payment: 409.89
Out of Pocket: 997.39
MSRP: 27,820.00
Residual: 15,022.80
Mileage: 12,000
How does this look right out of the box?
Wishing to remain in the same price range, I opted for the Genesis Coupe 3.8 (auto) this time round and have been very pleased with that decision. Performance & Handling are excellent and the fuel economy isn't far off the GTI's. Best of all, it's costing me less/month than my 2007 GTI !
As an owner, would recommend trying one of these before buying your next GTI. You don't need the Coupe track versions (sprung too hard and a silly wing), the base 3.8 auto is comfortable, fully loaded and if I buy it at the end of the lease, I still have 7 years to go on the warranty.
Happy hunting.

Back to the lease inquiry; can someone explain "money factor" a bit better?
1, Peeling window switches.
2, Intermittant thumping in of the bass on the stereo.
3, Dodgy fuel range readings, would show you had over 100 miles of range then about 10 miles later drop to less than 30.
4, Sharp edge on glove box that would scrape the skin off my thumb when extracing the booklets from their slot. (eventually got sanded down).
5, all 4 dashboard air vents fell to pieces, (directional clips all broke off - probably due to a combination heat / cold and the plastic clip being too low grade for the job.
6, 1 x breakdown (little red light on the drivers side door had been illuminated constantly for aprox 2 days - ran the battery out but technically, the only breakdown I had that stranded me at work).
7, Dodgy oil pressure sensor, would illuminate occasionally under normal driving.
Had a number of other issues but can't locate the complaint letter I sent to VW with all the other info / exact milages when things went wrong.
Apart from the above, found that the little metal wings that I guess hold the seat foam in place, would dig into the underside of my legs. The only other annoying issue was you couldn't open your windows with any amount of water (morning dew etc) sitting on your roof / windscreen, as it would all end up in the car soaking your arm/leg & door inner.
Like I say, I must just have been unlucky !
The money factor is just a number that is used to calculate the finance charge portion of the lease payment (interest, if it were a loan).
Hope that helps..

Similarly, should any bumper-bumper type problems develop in the 1st three years, they will of course be covered like they were on the GTI but I'll still have another 2 years to go !
Bottom line, if I remain as impressed with the car at the 36 month point as I currently do, my decision will be very easy, as it was with the GTI just a very different outome.
As background, I've had 18 different cars (makes & models) since 1988 and that was my second GTI. The 1st was a 2002 1.8 Turbo which I got rid of after only two months of use. The 2nd was the 2007 GTI which I leased expecting a highly improved model which based on intitial road tests, appeared to be the case. I locked in to a 3 year lease but given the choice, I would have quite happily returned this car within the 1st year.

I just picked up a 2010 2 door manual GTI here in Atlanta. Options are bluetooth, Detroit wheels w/summer tires, sunroof and the msrp is $26,304. I paid $24,000 which is roughly $450 under invoice. Dealer said I could NOT get the 1.9% financing with this deal but I suspect I could've gotten it with more negotiation. I traded in a car and paid cash for the balance so it wasn't important to me. Dealer experience otherwise was exceptional and the car has been a complete blast to this point.
I actually like GTI's in terms of comfort, handling and design which is why I have owned two. What I found to be unsatisfactory was the reliability.
Why am I here ? because I found this website very helpful in determining the selection of my last four cars, based on reviews and owner feedback.
I have passed on my factual experiences in this section as many here will be close to parting with some large sums of cash which they may regret later on.
Some may find my feedback helpful, others may not. Those who don't can obviously ignore.
Anyway, good luck with your GTI and wish you many happy miles of motoring.
rubber mats
xenon lights
upgraded stereo
sun roof
summer tires
for 330/month (with tax) and 1350 down. Dealer took 2500 off MSRP and used $750 credit for drive-offs. There are deals to be had out there. (This was in socal)
Really though you might as well compare a Cadillac CTS with a GTI since comparing a Hyundai makes about as much sense. You clearly don't 'get' VW's so why try.
Can you share the name of the dealer in Atlanta.

To answer your other question: I had to do an online inventory search to find this car with the options I was looking for. I pulled up a list of the 5 nearest VW dealerships and started looking through their selection. This was literally the only one with the options/color combination I wanted. Good luck to you.
Thanks, George
Which dealer did you deal with on your GTI?
On a separate note, I've had the ECU upgrade done (254hp now with 296 ft lbs of torque), and I got 31.9 MPG average coming and going on my 30 mile commute to work (probably a 70/30 mix of highway and city driving). Awesome.
I just got a GTI for $31k OTD in California.
4dr
dsg
autobahn pkg
xenon
rear airbag
Sticker was ~$29.6
23.5K sale price and 26K out the door..
6 miles only it when I bought.. not even test-driven before..
Here is the deal I got and I wanted to know what you guys think:
2010 GTI
Manual Transmission
2-door
Bluetooth and Mats, nothing else.
15K/year and 3 year lease.
Sticker: $24,639
Paying $325 a month (for 35 months). No down payment, no taxes, dealer fees or any other fee. I paid nothing. Also, I am not paying the first months payment due to the college grad program they have. My money factor was 0.0006 (= 1.44% interest rate). I think I got a pretty decent deal. What do you guys think?
Dealer price: $25,618.00 + taxes, fees etc = 27,032.00.
Financed $25,164 @ 3.34% = $387 x 72 mo.
I think it was a fair deal, maybe could have gotten extra $500 on my trade in.
My eight GTI and first automatic, loving the DSG. Future upgrades: tint and
new wheels.
George
Not if you have to walk the other 9K miles... :surprise:

After long last, I have decided to bite the bullet and treat myself to a new car. My current search has led me to the 2010 VW GTI, and after having the opportunity to go on the road with one the other day, I am about 95% sure I want one. The only thing I'm uncertain about is the pricing and if I can reasonably push for any lower. Currently I'm looking at the following:
-2-door, cloth interior
-DSG
-Sunroof
-Bluetooth & Mats
I'm being priced $25.9K with another ~$1.8K or so TTL.
I'd appreciate any thoughts and hopefully looking forward to being a GTI owner!
Here is the deal I just got for my brother in law:
2010 2 door GTI with DSG tranz in United Grey Metalic
18" Detroit rims with summer tires
Sunroof
GTI mat kit
Bluetooth
MSRP: $27,629.00
Cap Cost: $25,813.00 = $349 BELOW Invoice
Factory Invoice (according to True Car: $26,162.00)
Leased for 36 months with 15K year.
MF was .00185 (My BIL is credit challenged) = 4.44% Interest
Put 2K down which broke down as follows:
Acq fee: $625
Doc fee: $55.00
Tire fee: $9.00
Registration fee: $388
1st payment: $432.00
Cap cost reduction: $450.00
Mo payment with Cali (LA county taxes) = $431.60
Got it from LIVINGSTON VW in Woodland Hills, CA from the Internet dept. Very professional and very easy to deal with. Highly recommended
And just like bds231 said:
The dealers will tell you limited supply, no one wants to trade, that price is not feasable, etc etc etc
IT'S ALL CRAP!!
Do your research, walk in with a price you are willing to pay. Either they accept the deal or you walk and go to the next store!
Good luck all and happy driving!!
I mentioned that to him and told him that if ANYTHING went wrong after the 36mo/36K warranty expired, it would be on his dime. That is why I tried to convince him, to choose another manufacturer that has a 48mo/50K but he was DEADSET on the GTI.
To each his own.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink!
So for 3 years you drive around in your #2 choice because , maybe, there was a 10% chance that something might have gone wrong with the GTI. I don't think so.
Car: 2010 GTI 4D w/ DSG, 18" wheels and mats
Price before taxes & fees = $25,816
Interest = 0% for 36 months
Out the door cost = $28.5K
Is this a good deal? I know the raw price is not, but it's at 0% APR.
Thanks!
