I asked elsewhere without reply, so I'm posting her same questions:
OK, Went to Linden VW, they basically would not budge. I know spiffs are not good this month for VW's (GTI's), but if a $26,085k car is advertised for 12% off MSRP ($22,970), why can't I use THAT price to negotiate a lease? I'm told that the discount off of MSRP is only applicable for financing a deal, not lease. Is that true?
Also, like I said in an earlier post, I'm in no hurry, my existing lease expires in July, so I am now starting my shopping to hammer the best deal between now and then. Therefore, without going to each zip code, or plugging into cars.com, how can I find the fact match I am looking for so I can try to make a deal, or when a deal is available, I can find the car equipped the way I want it?
Also, I was told the MF is 0.00095 on a 10k per year lease, Rydell VW tells me nope, higher.
Who to believe, who to deal with, who to trust, how to craft a deal without all the BS scammers, wheeler dealers, time wasters?
So, I take the Leasehacker lease calculator, plug in MSRP of $26,085, do a sales price of $22,975, $500 incentive, $2,000 down (they tell me VW does not do additional security deposits, so if not, how is one to lower the costs?), acquisition fee of $625, residual of 61%, 36 months, 10k miles a year, mf of 0.00095, doc fee of $80, lic & reg of $400, 7% tax, I get $179 w/0 tax, $192 w/tax.
Why does nobody honor the stats? Why can I plug in the numbers, and not get a deal from any dealer, if the numbers I plug in are the numbers given by the dealer?
Also, Linden VW wanted to add $749.99 total sales tax, and in NJ any tax is on the monthly payment, not the full price like other states, they tell me it's the difference between MSRP and cap cost that I have to pay tax on. Is that legal?
So, those numbers were for a GTI S 6 Spd, I come to find out, and did not include perf pkg and led pkg (they said it did have perf pkg, they lied), so the car I'm looking for is about $28k, and 12% off of that is $3360 making the initial cap cost $24,640 still gets me to a $201 per month payment.
Any help to make the deal as well as find a deal as well as find the car?

Next - yes, there are certain incentives that are applicable to purchases only and cannot be used for leasing. This will make the cap cost higher than your examples.
I cannot speak to the accuracy of any on-line lease calculator - it may make assumption we know nothing about. I built my own in a spreadsheet.
In NJ, sales tax on a lease is calculated against the sum of the payments and either collected up front at lease inceptions or added to the cap cost.
Despite all the issues that VW is having, I believe getting 12% off sticker on a GTI will be an uphill battle.
Negotiate your best price, make sure you know what taxes and fees are being added into the cap cost, then run the numbers. Or, share them with us and we can help you.
We don't recommend making a down payment on a lease - if the car is stolen or totaled, you lose that money.
One final note - if your current lease ends in July, why are you looking now? The lease numbers are certain to change between now and then, and getting out of your lease early could be expensive.
I'm in a lease until October and I've tried a couple of times to swap out into something else, but the negative equity I have queers any possible deal I might make.

I really like the car but heck for what they want me to pay I can get a $57k Lexus for $195 per month more than the $345 per month that VW wants. And given the fact that VW sales are slumping 25% since diesel-gate one might think that VW would be a little more anxious to deal.
Point is I don't need a car yet but I figure if I start looking now I'm more educated. Also by June/July the season is close to done before new models are introduced and of course they will be cheaper. And if I can't find what I want then I can't order and have to settle for what is available.
Again, I like the GTI but I don't need to pay an inflated price.
I got the 2013 Focus EV in 2013 (a $40k car) with $2k down for $157.98/mo. And THAT is the type of deal I'm lookin for.
Heck, for $200 a month moreover than the $345 VW wants I can get a Cayman or Boxster.
So I do appreciate the suggestions but I'm lookin for the special deal. They do exist. Depends on the hunger of the dealer I suppose.
You want a good deal? There are folks reporting leases of the BMW i3 for under $300/mo. This is a car that stickers north of $50k.
Another great deal is the Infiniti Q50 - again, around $300/mo.

Thanks so far for the replies, still hoping for the GTI at a great price, as I just hate getting the Porsche dirty in the winter.......
I've scoured all of the various forums, discussions, etc., in multiple locations to get a clear, full understanding of how lease numbers are so varied. I still cannot grasp why a $25k car can be leased for $160/mo. in one place, and another $25k car is $350/mo.. I can provide specific documents, examples, etc., to verify and validate a $160/mo. lease (scanned PDF's) and still I don't "get it" when I walk into 1 dealer a car that has a MSRP of say $28k with a negotiated price of say $25k is one price and another dealer is in orbit around a distant planet.
I understand all of the numbers given as examples here on this forum, and that some can be modified and skewed to make an end result look any way the dealer wants it to look, but if you use a lease calculator (of the many out there) and punch in the MSRP, the negotiated price, the money factor, the residual, the the term, the mileage, the down payment (if any), the costs (lic., dealer, bank, etc.) I still come up with an end result of about $215 a month with a $3,000 down payment, and $980 in all the other fees, etc.
Why is it then the numbers do not compute?
MSRP:$28,680
Sales Price:$24,952k (11% off MSRP)
Taxed Incentives: $1,000
Untaxed Incentives: $0
Down Payment: $3,000 (Not recommended)
Acquisition Fee: $595
Net Capitalized Cost: $21595
Residual: 61 %
(10000 miles/yr)
Months: 36
Miles/yr: 10,000
Money Factor: (0.00195) APR: 4.68%
Monthly Payment (Excl. Tax): $189
Document Fee: $80
License/Registrat. Fee: $400
Sales Tax: 7 %
Monthly Payment (incl. tax): $202
Drive Off: $3968
So, is the lease calculator at leasehackr wrong or am I not correctly entering information?
First, is your sale price $24,952? Because you seem to have rounded it off to $25,000, when subtracting the incentive and the downpayment.
Base MF is .00125
Residual has dropped to 60% for March for 36/10.
But, using your MSRP, NET CAP and .00195 MF and 61% residual, I get $190.12/mo.+tax, so pretty close to the $189/mo.
