Q: 2008 VW Passat 3.6 4motion?
My local vw dealership has a 2008 clearance going on right now. They have a demo (about 4000 miles...) 2008 Passat 3.6 4motion with navigation, premium wheels, dynaaudio, and a premium grille. They are offering this car for $29,995. Do you guys think this is a good deal, or not?
Thanks
A: I think it's a solid car, I would try and talk them down a bit more. My friend works at a dealership and those demo's get the crap driven out of them. Just be aware that the 4000 miles are going to be hard miles. Good luck

Q: Leasing a new 2008 VW Passat -- Help?
I am leasing a 2.0 turbo Passat, Fully loaded. The current Blue Book price for my car is $7,000.00 more than I originally leased it for. I received an invitation in the mail from the VW dealer I am leasing through to buy back my Passat in exchange for a new 2009 vehicle. Is this a good offer? Or is this a scam to get my car back without having to to worry about the appreciation of the car? The letter also said my car is a high demand pre-owned car. what does that mean? I am a greenhorn...thanks for your help.......
I checked Blue Book myself. The actual Blue Book price is $7,000 more than I am leasing it for!
A: I think Lastchance is correct... I think you're adding up the amount of payments you have left on the lease, and trusting that it is your "payoff". Your car will not appreciate in value. Especially one that's mass-produced. Only very rare, exotic, or classic cars ever appreciate in value, and sometimes it takes years.
You need to call VW (or whomever you leased it through) and ask them for a "10-day payoff". That figure will be what you owe. Only way you're going to be in some sort of equity situation is if you put thousands down up front (like $10K or more). If you did indeed put down thousands up front, which is VERY rare for leasing (you would have been foolish to put thousands down on a lease situation), you'll be throwing it away if you trade your car in now.
I would be extremely surprised if your car is worth $7,000 more than what you owe after only one year.
And yes, dealers run promos like this all the time to get folks back in the door. Keep in mind that car sales are down terribly, and dealers are doing what they can to keep sellers coming.
