Had the Touareg for less than 3 months when the first electrical issue arose- ... Read More

  Let me start out by saying, NEVER BUY A TOUAREG. I bought a 2004 Touareg at the end of June 2007(used, I know, and will never do that again) with 27K on it. I had problems the second I drove it off the lot. First, I bought it at night so I didn't run the A/C until the next day and when I did it didn't work. Took it in for ... Read More

  Written by: Car_man on Jan 29, 2007 3:17:15 AM

  Hi bassmiesternj. This is Volkswagen's current official advertised lease for the 2007 Touareg V6. This isn't a bad deal, but like most manufacturers' advertised lease payments I suspect that this one leaves a little meat on the bone so to speak. If you are in an area that has a decent level of competition and you shop around I suspect that you will be able to negotiate a lower selling price ... Read More

• VW lease current program any good ?

  Hello all, I'm looking for a little insight (pros and cons) on the current VW lease offer for a "base" 07' V6 Touareg. The VW offer is as follows: 39-month lease $3,474 due at signing (plus license, tax, options and dealer fees) US cars only. $399 first month's payment, $2,500 down payment, and $575 acquisition fee due at lease inception.

• How good of deal is this?

  Written by: borderman01 on Dec 26, 2006 8:02:12 PM

  VW dealership in NY running this special for Touareg V6 2007; "Only $370 a Month! 40 Months. 10k Miles. $4,562 due at signing. MSRP $38,909" Now I would prefer 30 mnths than 40. So I estimated that would cost me an extra $30-$40 more a month. I also thought, for a Touareg V8 2007 what would it cost me? I assume a MSRP of $43000. That's a $5K difference so I ... Read More

  I bought my 2004 V6 Touareg when it first came out. Although I have experienced the typical annoying VW electrical issues, there have been no engine or braking problems. The electrical issues were finally solved after multiple visits (again, I chaulk this up to owning a german car so one must adapt to the frustration tolerance). I have it serviced by the book (service is unusually expensive) and I couldn't be ... Read More
