Thanks tcmotorcity. I guessed that you were in Detroit by looking at your username, but I wanted to make sure. Michigan is in Toyota's Cincinnati region. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2005 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4WD through Toyota Financial Services in its Cincinnati region right now for 3 years with 12,000 miles per, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00160 and 66%, respectively if you qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.

Greetings cybersys. Let's work up a sample lease payment on the vehicle that you are interested in and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring AWD with the 26U Package with an MSRP of $36,240 and a selling price of $32,811 through Chrysler Financial right now for 39 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $449. As you can see, the lease payment that you were quoted looks good. When negotiating your lease on this vehicle, keep in mind that DaimlerChrysler is providing $2,000 lease cash plus an additional $1,000 bonus for deals through Chrysler Financial, $3,000 total, on it this month. Taking these cash incentives into account, I would not be surprised if you were able to negotiate a larger discount on this vehicle than they one you have been quoted. You may want to stop by the "Chrysler Pacifica: Prices Paid & Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar models recently.

Welcome Miguel. I am not personally all that familiar with what people have been paying for the 2006 Infiniti M35 lately. For now let's assume that you are given a $1,500 discount off of this car's MSRP. If you are able to negotiate a larger discount, your lease payment will be lower, but at least this will give you an idea of what to expect. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Infiniti M35 Sedan 2WD with an MSRP of $46,010 and a selling price of $44,500 through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $571. The payment for an otherwise identical lease with only 12,000 miles per year would drop to around $560. An otherwise identical 42 month, 15,000 miles per year lease of this car would have a payment of around $559. Finally, a 42 month, 12,000 miles per lease of it would be around $549.

Hi ca_man. Here is the information that you are looking for. If you were to lease a 2005.5 Audi A4 2.0T Sedan with quattro through Audi Financial Services right now for 2 years with 12,000 miles per, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00135 and 69%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 3 year lease should be .00135 and 59%, respectively. Using these numbers, an MSRP of $34,120, and a selling price of $32,700, I estimate that this car should have a zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $485 for 2 years and $421 for 3 years.

Peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce, huh, pingpng50. I'm partial to mint chocolate chip myself, but I get the idea. Thanks  . Right now Lexus is running a special lease program on the 2005 LS 430 in your area. Many manufacturers allow consumers who order vehicles to lock in their lease programs at the time they placed the order, giving them the option to use that program, or the one that is available when they physically take delivery of their new car or truck, whichever is better. You probably should be able to lock in Lexus' current lease program for this car. It wouldn't be a bad idea. Lexus Financial Services' current 4 year, 15,000 miles per base lease money factor and residual value for a base 2005 Lexus LS 430 (not the custom or ultra luxury models) leased for 4 years with 15,000 miles per should be .00155 and 46%, respectively in your area.

Hi philocifer. While BMW dealers are notorious for marking up vehicles' lease money factors on unsuspecting customers, you should be able to find a dealer who is willing to lease you the vehicle that you want using BMW Financial Services' base lease program if you know what it is. The dealer that you are currently working with telling you that no BMW dealer will be willing to lease you this vehicle using BMW FS' base rate was nothing more than a bad sales pitch. BMW FS' base money factor is currently .00100 for leases up to 42 months on the X3 3.0i and .00160 on the X3 2.5i. If this dealer is not willing to lease you this truck using BMW's base lease program, tell them that you will shop around until you find a dealer who is more willing to work with you. This may motivate them to change their tune. If not, then shop around. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hi russ6357. I am sorry to say that I do not personally keep tabs on banks' used vehicle lease programs. Sorry that I could not be of more help. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |
