Description

Purchase your vehicle and make payments for it over a selected term. At the end of that term, the vehicle is yours.

Purchase your vehicle up-front by paying in full with cash.

Pros

  • At the end of your contract, you’ll own the car outright
  • No mileage restrictions
  • You have the ability to customize your vehicle as much as you want
  • You can sell the car on your own terms
  • You may have a lower monthly payment than a finance contract
  • With a shorter contract term, you get the chance to hop in a new VW more often
  • Flexible lease terms and a range of mileage options available
  • If you decide to lease or purchase a new VW at the end of your contract, we will waive the disposition fee

  • Any damage done to the vehicle will reduce the value of the vehicle when sold or traded in even if the vehicle is repaired

  • You may need to pay for wear and use charges at the end of your term
  • You have a mileage maximum and will be charged for extra miles driven
  • If you decide to end your lease early, you will be responsible for early termination fees
