Greetings daryll44. Let's work up a sample lease payment on this truck for you and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 Honda CR-V SE with an MSRP of $25,700 and a selling price of $24,200 (a $1,500 discount) through American Honda Finance Corp. right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $370.

Hey indysoob. Here is the information that you are looking for. If you were to lease a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring 26S AWD through Chrysler Financial right now for 39 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00080 and 47%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of the 2WD version of this vehicle should be .00061 and 46%. when negotiating your lease on this model, keep in mind that DaimlerChrysler is providing $2,000 lease cash plus an additional $1,000 bonus for leases of it through Chrysler Financial, $3,000 total. This money will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hi stkntraffic. Of the three cars that you mentioned in your post, the 2005 BMW 525i currently has the most attractive lease program, followed closely by the Infiniti G35 Sedan. Acura is not providing any sort of lease support on the TL right now. As a result, if you were to lease one through American Honda Finance Corp. this month, you would have to use its standard lease program, which isn't terrible, but isn't great either. Other similar vehicles that have attractive lease programs on them right now that you may want to consider include the Saab 9-5, Nissan Maxima, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Volvo S80.

Hey murph1031. The methods for calculating sales tax on leased vehicles vary from state to state. If you let me know what state you are in, I may be bale to direct you to a site that explains how sales tax is calculated on leased vehicles in your area. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hey Gary. These cars' lease programs vary by trim level. In order for me to give you an accurate idea of what their current programs are like, I need you to tell me the exact models that you want. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hello kappajen1. Here is the information that you are looking for. According to the latest informaiton that I have seen, if you were to lease a 1005.5 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5L Sedan, which is a very nice car BTW, through VW Credit right now for 3 years with 15,000 miles per, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00110 and 54%, respectively. The only difference between leasing through VW Credit in New York and the rest of the country is that its acquisition fee is increased to $800, from its normal $575, to cover the additional liability that banks are exposed to because of the vicarious liability laws that exist in your state.

No problem, jessie504. General Motors Acceptance Corp. publishes what are known in the industry as lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 3 year, 15,000 miles per lease of a 2005 Pontiac GTO should be 5.0% and 53%, respectively. Its lease rate for an otherwise identical lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be the same, but its residual value would increase to 56%. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Hello galant00. If you are able to lease the Infiniti G35 Coupe that you are interested in through Nissan's VPP Plan, you should be getting a good deal. If you let me know what the VPP selling price is, I can calculate a sample lease payment for you using Infiniti Financial Services' actual lease program. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |
