Car Man, I am interested in the new Mercedes ml 350/500. do you know the residuals after thirty six thousand miles for these and the money factor? |

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

Replying to: ar831 (Mar 29, 2005 12:08 pm) The LX is a better deal lease-wise, but she would prefer the EX with the moonroof.... Where are you located? You might check into the "Honda Accord: Prices Paid" forum here and do a search for other folks in your area and see what they are paying and from whom. For example, a dealer in NJ is advertising the LX I4 auto for $17,403 + $515 destination + $198 doc fee. My invoice info shows that car as costing the dealer $19,034 so even if they are getting the $600 dealer money I don't see how they can sell the car that cheap. Dealers in the "Chicagoland" area are known to sell under invoice as well. Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (Mar 29, 2005 12:46 pm) I am in NYC. I REALLY want the EX =o), so enough talk about the LX ;o). I am moving to another state soon that is warm and sunny so thats why i want my moon roof. Do you think the deal above is good or at least average for the EX? I dont know much about car pricing and negotiating but im willing to learn. Thanks! =o)

Replying to: ar831 (Mar 29, 2005 12:50 pm) AHFC will lease in NY, but you pay something like double the acquisition fee the rest of us pay. One thing to note: some states have a "pay the taxes on a lease up front" law and other states are "pay as you go" (adding the tax to the monthly payment). I am pretty sure NY is monthly - you could get into a tax hassle if you move to another state that wants the taxes up front. Someone posted recently about doing the opposite - they leased in VA or someplace and paid all the taxes up front, then moved to NY and had to pay tax on the lease payment ALSO! Just something to think about. Also you would save the extra acq fee dollars in any state other than NY.... Dennis |
