Picked up my 2015 Passat TDI SEL Premium, gold exterior, dark grey interior. Will give back my 2013 for $28,000.00+ and went with the lease and got the $8,500.00 off from VW for leasing, and $1,000.00 from the dealer. Never leased before and I compared the lease to the loan. The loan has a $5,000.00 discount and adding the dealers $1,000.00 off, and even if I go the life of the lease and then purchase the Passaat, it works out to be $2,200.00 less than with the loan. Also as soon as I sell back my VW, will pay the new Passat off and buy it. I have it in writing there is no penalty for buying the Passat early. I just save a bit of interest. Dealer had 8 TDI's at the start of the week, and sold out by Thursday. I got the last one.
