For new cars, they're buying down the rates. VW has like 4.9% on the GTI and 1.9% on SUVs. Hell even 0% on the Tiguan right now.
That's just a huge fuck you to car enthusiasts.

Oh this car is fun? 5%

I was also talking more for people without top tier credit. Some of my bros at the factory have 9% notes.

LOL I wouldn't go that far. It's still a lower rate than average. They could've offered 0 incentives. Obviously they're trying to more aggressively move the vehicles they have more inventory of.

But yeah people with shitty credit are screwing themselves with double-digit APRs.

That's just it. They get you though by any actual desirable car, you can't get new. Only "Used" with 2k miles on it (above MSRP).

When I bought my R (my current one, not my prior one), I just went with Carvana's financing at first, with the intention of refinancing immediately. They didn't even do a hard inquiry on my credit, and offered me an 18% interest rate on a $39k car. It was absurd.

I made one payment, and refinanced with DCU at 6.9% Which itself is still a crappy rate, but when their lowest advertised rate for perfect credit was 6.7%, it's not that bad in perspective.

The original finance doc from Carvana was crazy. If I kept the loan for it's full term, it was something like $24,000 in interest alone. Fucking bonkers.

Yeah they offer better deals on the cars that make them the most money and they know car enthusiasts will pay more for a fun car. Good marketing

But can you get a 24 at MSRP? From what I hear many dealers are still asking sizable ADMs.
Plus the 20th gets you no sunroof which is a major bonus.
Yep, Leith in Raleigh/Cary still selling for $2500 over...

By the way, when did the R get an 8 speed? I thought it was still the dq381? Car was definitely quick. I also learned everyone in the dealership had abused the piss out of my old R.
