| Does anyone know whether or not you can transfer plates on a lease to lease with the same dealer? My dealer is telling me no, but the DMV is telling me yes. The dealer states that the plate basically belongs to VW and they have to turn it into the DMV when the new lease starts. | |

Need some help on what to expect on lease of Mazda RX-8. I have never leased cars before, and I'm not a very good negotiator as well. Are there any promotions by Mazda going on in Southern CA? Will someone share his/her experience leasing Mazda RX-8? Thanks much!

Replying to: jas_sa (Mar 18, 2005 9:07 am) In addition, the Mazda money factor is pretty high. They DO have $2,000 in lease cash to sweeten the deal but it does not lease well. The best deal going now is to pick up a left over 2004 for cheap. Mazda has $4,000 in rebates if you finance the car with them. In addtion, dealers are selling them for invoice or up to $1,000 BELOW invoice. This means you can get a new 04 for as much as $5,000 below dealer cost - which is a pretty hot deal. Where are you located in So CA? You want an automatic, right? What color or colors would you consider and which options? You want AT LEAST a sports pack car - since this ads the stability and traction control and HID lights. The touring pack (is overpriced) and adds the Bose stereo and moonroof, the gran touring pack is thr touring plus leather, bun warmers, mirror heaters. Let me look and see what is availble near where you live and what the dealers that have them are saying. You can e-mail me at: y2k_c5 (insert at sign here) yahoo.com if you prefer. Dennis

Carman, do you have any lease data on the Volvo C70? I'm considering leasing a 2004 C70 HPT Manual. 3 yr 12k per year. Thanks!

Replying to: scott31 (Mar 18, 2005 1:55 pm) One of my local dealers has 14 on the lot and is advertising an LPT with an MSRP of $41,410 for $34,410. I am pretty sure Volvo financial does not want to lease you this car - since you will be bringing it back at lease end. They can't get rid of them now, so they don't want it back  I would GUESS that like on the Volvo "R" cars the cash is only good for a NON-Volvo lease. You can get your own quote (and get the lease) over at www.leasecompare.com . I put in an HPT for $36,000 with 1 mile on it and got a residual of $20,632 with a MF of 0.00251 and a monthly of $613 + tax. You Volvo dealer may have a non-Volvo lease bank that could give a similar or better number - if not you can do the deal with LC. Keep in mind this is leasing a USED car - we are WAY past the cut off for getting a left over with new money - so the rates will be higher. Dennis |

Replying to: Car_man (Mar 10, 2005 4:29 am) Well I did a little more hunting and I found my car (2005 RX 330 FWD) via Car Direct. They have quoted me a money factor of .00115 thru Lexus. Is there new support from Lexus for the RX330. I thought the rate was .00145 at the best? This was for a 36 mos Lease and %53 for Residual BTW, I understand from the dealer that if the cap cost is under $40,000 then the pre-purchase mileage is .10 at time of lease and .15 for excess mileage at the end of the lease. If the Cap is over $40K then the mileage is .15 prepaid and .20 after the lease. Since my Cap Cost is at $41K, I am planning on putting an additional $1000 bring my cap down to $40K. I calculate a saving of $450 by me doing this. Have you heard of this before? Thanks, Jim

my wife and i have been planning to lease the z4 so we checked out the local dealer last saturday. Sales guy we talked to said he could do 4K below MSRP on any 2.5 even if we ordered one new. This after i told him about my research that most ppl are paying invoice+ (500 to 1000)-incentive(2500). So, the cheapest one on the lot was 38kmsrp/34K selling. About lease, i mentioned website deal, he said they would do a 0.0245 mf with 59% residual for 10K miles/36 mos. He says additional 0.00045 is because they need to make 'some' profit. Can i get a better deal that this on both cost price & lease terms? TIA nivas

I've been getting so caught up with the Altima that I wasn't sure what to do when I spotted this offer in the paper today. Lease a 2005 Honda Accord LX Sedan for $0 down, $0 security deposit, $219 per month + Tax. Floor Mats included (all the other features seem to be the typical LX stuff such as AC, Power Windows, etc). 3 to choose from. So is this a "hurry up and lease before we sell these 3 cars!" deal or is it standard? |
