Sorry for the editorializing, but....

I am too interested in Passat prices, but I feel that discussing lease deals in response to questions is pertinent to the process of buying a car. And as you said, buying only has one advantage over leasing, that being "... under MOST circumstances you would have saved money by buying via conventional financing over leasing..." That sounds like a pretty BIG advantage to me, and the purpose of this discussion is to help mamamia123 ascertain whether or not they are getting a good deal, ie: saving money. So I think the lease discussion is germane to the questions on the board. IMHO mamamia123 should strongly consider purchasing the vehicle and taking advantage of the current interest rate incentives from VW. Eventually you then own the car and don't have to worry about getting zapped with a bunch of mileage and wear/tear fees when you turn in the car.
Lease deal

If you are going to lease anyway, 259 sounds pretty good. Putting a reasonable amount down and financing at a reasonable rate for as short a term as you could would obviously be cheaper in the long run, unless business or tax issues are a factor in the lease question. Leasing was developed by dealers and finance companies looking for ways to move pricier cars under the guise of a good deal to people who would rather rent a more expensive vehicle for a couple of years instead of buying something they can really afford. The dealer moves more profitable cars and the turnover insures repeat business in shorter time frames. Its a vicious cycle to enter. I would worry about end of lease fees and wear/tear assessments that you are powerless to affect. Not to mention paying taxes for and insuring a car that you don't own. Take the low price, find a credit union rate and buy the car. If you don't want it after 3 years sell it and take the money to put down on another purchase. Most people agree that buying a house is more financially sound than renting one yet for some reason we go hook line and sinker for leases instead of buying. Hmmm.
Inventory in Mobile, AL

In case anybody is interested, Mobile is a fairly small town (250K) and only has one VW dealer, but they have 2 2000 Passats on the lot, on a loaded V6 with leather, and a well-equipped 1.8T, both with 5 speeds. Maybe the 5 speed is not as popular. They also have 10-15 2001's on the lot, although only one 5 speed, a base GLS with no options at all. I'm partial to 5 speeds so the others with 4motion and auto don't interest me. But there seem to be plenty in stock.
dealer cost

memeboy: I'd say that you have the formula for determining dealer cost, except that I think you'll have lots of debate over whether dealer ad fees are part of his cost for that car. Why not add some percentage of the dealer employees' salaries as well. I personally would not consider that as a cost of the car for the dealer. At least not if you are just trying to figure out what the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. On the other hand, I don't think trying to get into the holdback is very realistic, and as mentioned above the holdback goes down as time goes on. 5% over cost sounds reasonable to me, but I would just add up the invoice, add 300-500, and make an offer. All they can do is say no. Plus, if the dealer doesn't take it, you can always come up a little or try another dealer.

Hey vwguild and snurple: Each of you makes valid points and obviously know a lot about the topics you are discussing. Personally, I think that too many consumers get caught up in worrying that the dealer will make too much money off them and that is patently unfair. Fortunately, however, we live in a free market economy where the market sets the actual selling price of just about any consumer product. You could save yourself a lot of time by determining what you think a fair price is, call the dealer with your offer and your phone number, and wait to see if they come back to accept your offer. I must agree though that many dealers insist on running a bunch of bogus numbers at you after you have agreed on a bottom line price. I have bought 10 new cars since 1984, and just about every time I have to remind the dealer that my offer was the bottom line, just add the tax, title and registration. Any other document, advertising, or ADM fees should be considered when the accept my bottom line offer. They either take it or they don't. So don't worry about holdback, shop around check the internet and other dealers, and make your offer. Now, having said that I am still pondering either a leftover 2000 Passat V6 5 speed with leather or a 2000 I4 5 speed with conv pkg in Mobile, AL. Anybody dealt with Dean Mcreary imports or had trouble getting their warranty maintenance done at their dealer. Any good dealer experiences or $ over invoice deals out there in the southeast, west or midwest? Thanks.
