#16234 of 23872 Audi A4 Cab lease rate by greene1 Jan 17, 2005 (6:00 pm)
Replying to: Car_man (Sep 10, 2000 9:16 pm) Hi Carman - Could you please give me the residual and money factor for 2005 Audi A4 1.8T for a 36 month lease with 12k miles per year? Thank you! Nick

Car_man - so I assume when I see these internet ads for Capital one auto loans for 4% APR on 36 month loans, that these rates are for purchasing a car and not leasing one? Also do you have any experience with leasewizard.com or leasecompare.com? I'm not really sure if they would be helpful for me at this point considering that with all your help I feel like I have a pretty good handle on how leasing works. However I am curious if they offer any advantages in terms of getting good money factors? Jeff

With $1500 off MSRP - this is what my dealer came up with for a 36Month/15K per year lease: Cost of vehicle before TTL is $33110 "The lease for 36 months with 0 Down is $674. This is a true 0 down (1st payment is rolled in) with 35 remaining payments of $674. With $1489.91 down (1st, security, license and doc fee) your payment is $616.52." The residual is $19,727.70. The money factor is .003021. Any thoughts or comparative leases out there - as these seems crazy to me. I could finance the entire vehicle and still have a payment less than either of these options.
#16237 of 23872 Is it better to be upside down in a leased or financed vehicle? by satturngirl Jan 18, 2005 (6:48 am)
Replying to: Car_man (Sep 03, 2000 3:27 pm) In a nutshell, we leased a 2004 Toyota Matrix for 5.5 years $344 a month roughly a year ago. Now our family is expanding again and we need a minivan. I'm thinking about trading in the lease for a used minivan (an older model) and transferring the negative equity to the new van. I'm thinking it's better to be upside down in something I'm purchasing than to be upside two more years from now when I can technically trade the vehicle in for a lease trade up. The car is worth 14000 and we owe 20000. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Replying to: satturngirl (Jan 18, 2005 6:48 am) How long ago did you lease it? What is the residual? I'm just taking a stab here and guessing you've had it about a year now. Even then, you have 4.5 years of lease payments left for a total of $18,576, PLUS the residual, which I doubt is $1500. So where did that $20K number come from? Even if you got it really early in the model year, that would knock maybe $1200 or $1500 off that payment total, but a $3K residual still seems really odd to me. I think you are WAY further in the hole than you think you are. Are you maybe thinking that you owe $20K because you have $20K in lease payments remaining? Because it doesn't work that way this early in the lease and it definitely doesn't work that way if you are trading it in for its current value. Its all your lease payments PLUS the residual at the end of the lease. I'm sure you already know this, but leasing for that long and on a car that inexpensive is a HUGE mistake.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 18, 2005 7:13 am) According to Huntington National Bank that is our payoff amount. We have had the car almost a year; April will be a year exactly. Yes we are finding out the hard way that leasing the vehicle that long was a huge mistake. I'm not sure what the residual is, how can I find out? When I spoke to Huntington they told me that if we traded in the vehicle we would have to pay the difference between what the vehicle is worth vs. what we owe.

Replying to: satturngirl (Jan 18, 2005 7:54 am) Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but I don't believe that makes sense. Since you bought it in April, then, by my math, you have like almost $20K just in payments ..... Maybe this is a goofy question, but are you SURE its a lease?? You can ask them what your residual is or you can look on your original contract. Maybe whoever you talked to at the bank screwed up and forgot to add in the residual?

Replying to: qbrozen (Jan 18, 2005 8:02 am) Don't forget negative equity rolled in from a previous car.. Our friend is looking to trade after just one year... I'm betting that has happened before... regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: qbrozen (Jan 18, 2005 9:57 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 18, 2005 9:08 am) Oh, I'm SURE there is negative equity in that deal. The payments alone are more than the cost of a new Matrix, aren't they? Man, 5.5 year lease and wanting to get out after just one year is a just a whole new level of "buried."
