canyonman don't worry about the dealerless situation to much, I am the proud owner of a Seat Cupra sport which I picked up new at the end of 99 (I just realised, 10 happy years of fun this month!!). Shortly after the purchase Seat as it was left Oz. I had no problems with service or warranty work through VW dealers to the point that when I was looking to replace my 626 I picked up a MkV golf.

If the car ticks all your boxes & you say you want to keep it at the end of your lease buy it & enjoy
