Re: [OT] we need a new car - Follow uP

["'84 Scirocco" <scirocco@macslut.org>]

Went to the stealership tonite, they said they wouldnąt have any Jetta
Wagons until May.  We cant wait that long.  Drove a Golf GLS, was nice car
(luxury package) but the high pressure salesman tried to talk us into a 5
year lease - too long.  It was a pretty bad experience, cept two of the
other ppl commented on my Scirocco.  I hate shopping for cars.  Anyone know
a good resource to read up on leasing options?  Either short term lease (2-3
years) are gonna be out of our price range, or this dude was just giving us
the scam.  He said because of residual value, the luxury GLS would be the
same payment as the GL base model, even though there is a large difference
in the sticker price.  I'm pretty confused.  So without starting a lease vs
buy flame war, I just need info.
