I know this could possibly go in the garage section....but its more of a purchase question then a general car question.
My wife and I decided to buy a 2007 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition. We were going to pick it up today but her college grad application was taking a little longer then expected. We had decided to take advantage of the low APR (2.9% for 48 months). The car's price came out to $21,200 + taxes, etc. I believe the OTD price was around $23,000.
So this was our plan:
$6600 down and finance the rest @ 2.9% for 48 months
Our payment came out to $361/m which we can easily afford.
However I just saw a commercial for the car that VW is advertising for $219/m with $2294 down plus taxes, tags, etc. for a 36 month lease.
Should we just go ahead and purchase the car or go with the lease and save some money? I am probably going to need a car in about 2-3 years or so (I hope but thats a whole other story) so I'm not sure if its a wise decision to have to buy 2 new cars in 3 years.
ATOT help me out!
