| Everyone, including myself, is always asking what they should pay for a lease, but you hardly see anyone come back and post what they were able to negotiate. The "Prices Paid & Buying Experiences" section only covers buyers. How about some leasers coming back and letting us know what they were able to get? Then we can have some ballpark figures. | |

Hi Car_man, Thank you for all of your help. Because of this forum I have become pretty knowledgable about car leases. Please let me know what you think of the following deal that I got on a '05 Infiniti G35 w/ Premium package B, sport package, trunk mat and splash guards. MSRP: $35740 Selling cost: 33181 ($500 over invoice) Residual: 60% Money Factor: .00179 36 months/ 15k miles Monthly payment before taxes: $423.81 Due on delivery: $1600 Doc Fee $720 License/Title: 23.00 Sales Tax: 43 Security Deposit: 450 and 1st payment Once again, thank you.

Replying to: g35-or-bmw (Mar 29, 2005 8:34 am) The residual and MF you post is what I have seen as the correct with the "buy rate". If you pay the acq fee and taxes up front then my lease calculator gets $423.81 w/o taxes. I assume the "doc fee" of $720 you list is actually the acquisition fee? In any case if you take $423.81 + $450 + $43 + $23 + $720 I get $1,659.81 due at delivery rather than the $1,600 even you show. Other than that, if the $1,600 DOES cover your first month and security, all taxes, and the acq fee then it sounds OK to me. It would make the acq fee $660.19 and I don't recall what the normal fee is for Infiniti.... Sounds like a deal to me. Dennis |

Honda has a special advertised lease, it is as follows: $249.00 per month for 36 months $1,499.00 capitalized cost reduction. $2,593.00 total due at lease signing (includes first month’s payment, security deposit, capitalized cost reduction and AHFC upfront acquisition fee; total net capitalized cost and base monthly payment does not include tax, license, registration, options and the like). In NY i was told they have to add about $500 more because the NY acquisition fee is about $1095, so my total down payment would be $4500. That includes everything as stated above. My monthly payments would be $249 but if i add on an insurance if the car is stolen i get my down payment money back the total monthly payments would be $266. Does all this sound like a good deal? Please let me know ASAP. Thank you in advance!

Replying to: Car_man (Mar 29, 2005 4:23 am) First post, Thanks for the help/reply. I'm not sure if it will be different, but could you tell me the money factor/residual for a 05 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon with AT? The lease I would like is a 24mo, 12K miles/year. Does Subaru offer a 24mo lease? The model I'm looking at has a MSRP of $31,964 and a OTD price of $27,690 + (tag,taxes,title). Could you tell me what I can expect the payments for this car to be for 24 mo? Also, what can I expect as a down payment? Thanks again for your help, mlr

Replying to: ar831 (Mar 29, 2005 10:14 am)  The LX I4 is 0.00038 and 53% The EX IS is 0.00113 and 54% The LX V6 is 0.00038 and 51%. So if you can forgo the alloy wheels and the moonroof of the EX package, the LX is a much better lease deal. Also, the pre-negotiated lease deal has the dealer making a little over $600. Honda recently started a cash to dealer incentive of UP TO $600 per car and folks are reporting getting new Accords for well under invoice. So there is room to bargain down the cap cost on these deals. Dennis
