Hello Jim. Saab's lease program varies by trim level, so in order for me to give you a thorough evaluation of the deal that you were quoted, I need you to tell me exactly which Saab 9-3 you are interested in. It also would be helpful if you could break down the money that is due at lease signing so that we can tell exactly how much of a capitalized cost reduction you are making.

Car_man, Quick question. I'm currently in the market for a new Audi. What is the Audi Premier Purchase? Since I live in MA it's an option I can use to purchase the car. I understand how a lease is calculated and what the factors that control a lease are. I was wondering what you thought of this type of lease and how this type of lease is calculated. What are the benefits to this type of lease other then your name on the title. I've seen is previous posts this is a great option for customers leasing in NY. I've also noticed that these payment are lower than a lease for the same car. The car in question in an 2005.5 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro, 36 months, 15k, MSRP $36000, selling price $35000. This is just an example, this is not the actual deal. Thanks in advanced for you time! JJDNU |

Agillman, I believe that I recall replying to your earlier message, but if you can't find it I will do so again. Lexus is not providing any sort of lease support on the 2006 GS 430 right now, so if you were to lease one through Lexus Financial Services you would have to use its standard lease money factors. The last time that I saw them, its base standard lease money factor was around .00215 for any length lease for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. Its 3 year, 15,000 miles per residual value for the 2006 GS 430 is currently 56%. Its 4 and 5 year residual values for this car are 47% and 38%. If you were to lease it with only 12,000 miles per year, these residuals would be 2% higher. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hello leapfrog. Let's work up a sample lease payment on this van for you and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L-DVD (without navigation) with an MSRP of $32,410 and a selling price of $30,408 through AHFC right now for 3 years with 15,000 miles per, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $442. Even after taking tax into account, the payment that you were quoted looks to be a little on the high side to me. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Good Morning, to follow-on my previous message, "Lease Flexibility 05 A6 3.2", one of the dealers I've been working with offered $697/mo. This was based on 36 mos/12K mi, MF of .00189 and options that incl Premium(list 3k) and Cold Weather(list 900) - total MSRP incl dest $720 dest is $46,520 -- She told me it was based on a sell price of $45K(noting that invoice, incl dest. charge is 43,026) What are your thoughts about this offer? Fair? Or is there room to move thank you for your guidance ! |

Car_man, I have a car that I will be trading in when I lease a car. What should I do with the proceeds from the car at the dealer? Should I use it to pay the sales tax on the lease ? I'm in IL and I understand that you pay sales tax on the selling price of the car. or ? Any guidance would be appreciated. Now I just need to decide on the car. I've driven quite a few car and like certain things, but not the whole car. Any recommendations from the following cars which would be good. Lexus ES330 Infiniti G35 or M35 Acura TL Cadillac STS Toyota Avalon I do realize that this is a wide range of cars. I'm currently driving a 98 Pontiac Bonneville. Thanks to all.

Replying to: Car_man (Mar 15, 2005 5:00 am) I picked up my new 'reasonably loaded' 2005 Pathfinder SE 4x4 for a selling price of $29,400/MSRP $31,990. I also rolled the $550 acq fee and $100 title and doc fee into the cap cost($0 sec dep) for a monthly payment of $372/month + tax due at signing. I made the offer through email and was accepted by the dealer...a very easy transaction. Thanks so much for your help! |

Replying to: Car_man (Mar 16, 2005 5:35 am) They want: $2155 cap cost $269.94 (first month's payment) $764 (Virginia Tax) $67.50 (Tags) $595 (acquisition fee) TOTAL DUE AT SIGNING: $3,851.44 I'm thinking about telling them to drop the acquisition fee. The car is sitting in a lot across the street--do they really deserve six hundred bucks for a U-turn? |

Car Man, I saw that you mentioned in a earlier e-mail that there is some lease support on the Acura MDX. I live in NJ, what support if any is available? and is it available on all the MDX models, not just the base? What would these lease support money factors and residuals be? and how good are they compared to the regular numbers? Last, but not least, my current lease is up in July, do you think we might get a better deal by waiting or is it worth it to get it now (and have to eat the last 3 pymnts, which total about $1,000)? |
