I was nearing the end of my first vehicle lease and went to - - - to discuss my lease end options. The car had some obvious cosmetic damages that I pointed out to the sales representative. After speaking with the sales representative, he assured me that leasing another vehicle was my best option in order to avoid having to pay for excess wear and tear on the previous vehicle, so that 's what I did. 4 months into my new lease I got a bill from VW credit for all of the damages on the old car, over $ -. I was sure that there as some mistake and went to the dealership. While there we reviewed my contract together and the lease termination was processed as a turn in, instead of a trade in, thus leaving me financially responsible for both cars. They denied ever telling me that I would n't have to pay for the damage on the car and since leaving there I have been unable to get a hold of the -, they have been incredible non-responsive. I have filed a complaint through VW, the debt is now with collections and I do n't have the money to pay it. For someone without money for a down payment, or to buy the old car, it would make - fiscal sense for me to lease a new car. The option that I thought that I was taking was the only way for me to pay nothing out of pocket. VW offered to make my final payments on my old car, and my first payment on my new car, and nothing down. It was the only way for me to not spend any money in the transition. At the least, I would have had the car inspected and opted to fix it myself through a certified mechanic friend before returning it to VW because it is common knowledge that the most expensive repairs are through the dealership. All of this was in - of 2014.
