The Advantages of Buying a New Volkswagen

There are definitely some perks when you own something. A vehicle will become one of your most important possessions. You depend upon it for a variety of reasons, so you obviously want to customize it to be the most comfortable that it can be. You may want to keep it for years, so financing is a great way to do exactly that.

You do not have to pay the entire amount of the vehicle in cash. Just come up with the required down payment based on your credit rating and then drive it home. You can choose the length of the loan. This is helpful because it allows you to tweak the monthly payments to fit within your budget. Want to see if you qualify before you come in? Use our fast and easy pre-qualification tool — it only takes a few minutes and will not affect your credit score.

The Advantages of Leasing a New Volkswagen

It is also possible to drive away in a new Volkswagen today without having to part with any money for a down payment. A lease also allows you to enjoy lower monthly payments while driving the vehicle for the next three years. When the lease is up, you simply turn the car back into Dean Team Volkswagen of Kirkwood or another dealership near where you are located at the time.

One of the most appealing aspects of a lease is that you can drive away in a new vehicle every few years. This means that you can enjoy the latest model without having to worry about selling your existing vehicle first. Whether you are eyeing the Tiguan, the Atlas, the Atlas Cross Sport, or the Taos, we have current lease deals ready for you. If you decide that you would like to keep your Volkswagen at the end of the lease, that can easily be arranged. Just pay the residual value of the vehicle, and it will be yours to keep.

Common Concerns About Leasing a New SUV or Car

We understand that leasing can feel unfamiliar or even a little intimidating if you have never done it before. You are not alone — many St. Louis drivers come to us with the same questions and concerns. Here is an honest look at the most common worries people have about leasing, and the truth behind each one.

“What if I go over my mileage limit?”

Mileage limits are one of the most talked-about concerns with leasing. Most Volkswagen leases come with an annual mileage allowance, typically between 10,000 and 15,000 miles per year. If you go over that amount, you will be charged a per-mile fee at the end of your lease. The good news is that we can work with you upfront to set a mileage limit that actually fits how you drive. If you commute a lot or take frequent road trips, we can build a higher mileage allowance into your lease from the start so there are no surprises later.

“What counts as excessive wear and tear?”

Normal everyday wear is expected and accepted when you return a leased vehicle. Things like minor scuffs, small stone chips, and light interior wear are generally considered normal. What you want to avoid are larger dents, deep scratches, significant interior stains, or damaged tires. We are happy to walk you through what is and is not considered acceptable before you sign so you know exactly what to expect at lease-end.

“What happens if I want to end my lease early?”

Life changes, and sometimes your vehicle needs change too. If you need to get out of a lease before it ends, there are options. You may be able to transfer your lease to another driver, trade in early for a new vehicle, or in some cases pay an early termination fee. Our finance team will explain all of your options clearly so you can make the best decision for your situation. In many cases, ending a lease early is more straightforward than people expect.

“Can I lease if my credit is not perfect?”

Credit requirements for leasing are generally similar to those for financing a vehicle. While stronger credit typically means better lease terms and lower monthly payments, our finance team works with a wide network of lenders and will do everything possible to find a solution that works for your situation. We encourage you to use our pre-qualification tool to get a sense of where you stand before you come in — it is quick, easy, and will not impact your credit score.

“Do I have to buy the car at the end of the lease?”

Absolutely not. At the end of your lease you have three simple choices: return the vehicle and walk away, lease or purchase a new Volkswagen, or buy the vehicle you have been driving by paying its residual value. There is no pressure either way. Many of our customers love the flexibility of simply returning their vehicle and stepping into the latest model — but if you have fallen in love with your Volkswagen, keeping it is always an option.

“Is leasing really cheaper than buying?”

In terms of monthly payments, leasing almost always costs less than financing the same vehicle. Because you are only paying for the portion of the vehicle's value that you use during the lease term, your monthly payments are lower. However, at the end of a lease you do not own the vehicle outright the way you would after paying off a loan. Whether leasing or buying is the better financial decision depends on your personal driving habits, how long you keep vehicles, and what matters most to you. Our team is always happy to run the numbers side by side so you can see exactly what each option looks like for your budget. Check out our current lease specials to see what is available right now.
