You're welcome, kjw24. Yes those numbers are right on the money. Whoever told you that the cash incentives on the 3-Series expired on October 1st was either mistaken or just lied. BMW's cash incentives on '04 3-Series models are still there and are scheduled to run through November 1st. The supply of 2004 BMWs is definitely getting pretty thin. If you want one, you better act now. You may have to look at a few dealers to find a leftover 3-Series equipped the way that you want it, but there are still a few out there. Make sure to act quickly if you want one because they are going fast and I don't expect there to be much in the way of lease support on most '04 BMWs in November.

Carman, What are the current numbers on lease deals on the 2004 VW Phaeton? Are the best #'s on a 36 month lease? I can do 36, or 42 months, 12k miles per year. What are the MF's and Residuals for those? Also, just to triple check, what are the current incentives on the Phaeton (cash back, etc). I know they are posted on Edmunds, but I have had dealers mention stuff that isn't posted. Thanks!

I plan on leasing either an '04 or '05 Acura TSX. I live in Miami, FL. I've got two questions concerning the leasing process: 1. Once and for all, what fees SHOULD I expect and not be expected to pay- disposition fee, acquisition fee, etc.? Do they depend on your credit rating and/or where you live and/or the dealership? 2. Does the residual and money factor depend on where you live, credit ratings, leasing co.?? Or is it a standard number? Thanks for all your help! |

Hi Car_man: I have a question on leasing a company car for a small company. Both Honda and Nissan dealers ask me to have a board member of the company sign a form to show leasing such a car is approved (by the board). What's is the purpose of such? Do all manufacturers require such? |

Interesting choice in vehicles, scott31. The Phaeton is actually a very underrated car. It is very nice, but the problem is that it's just too expensive. You are in luck because Volkswagen enhanced the lease program on this car a week or two ago. If you were to lease a 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton V8 through VW Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00030 and 55%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 42 month lease should be .00087 and 51%, respectively. When negotiating a lease on this car, keep in mind that VW just introduced $3,225 lease cash on it that will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost. The $5,000 dealer cash that is available on the 2004 Phaeton can not be used in conjunction with VW Credit's special lease program. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Message Board |

Hello viggie. Wow back to back posts about really expensive vehicles. The economy must be heating up  . The lease money factor and residual value that you were quoted for this truck are right on the money. This is a good thing because it means that your dealer is being straightforward with you. Porsche dealers frequently mark-up Porsche Credit's base lease money factors to add additional back-end profit to deals. As far as the price that you were quoted for this model goes, most Porsche dealers, except for possibly the ones on the West coast, are aggressively discounting 2004 models to get rid of their old inventory. In fact, Porsche actually made secret payments to its dealers to help them sell their remaining 2004 Cayenne S models. Having said this, the discounts are not as large on 2005 models. There is a huge spread between full MSRP and dealer invoice on the Cayenne Turbo. It is over $10,000. The quote of $5,000 below MSRP that you were given is pretty good. Having said this, even though I am not all that familiar with how much dealers are getting for '05 Cayennes yet, I would not be surprised if you were able to beat it by comparison shopping a little bit.
