Are the super MF and residual numbers for Maxima at 36 months the same for SE and SL models? IF not, which is cheaper? THe cars are essentially equal in price when similarily equipped. THanks I am debating buying vs leasing this car since they also have attractive 2% finance rate on Maxima. I just leased a Pathifnder in March. Thanks again for all the excellent info! |

Hello, I'm looking to lease a Jaguar S-Type 3.0 with premium package and navigation and would like to inquire as to what I should be able to get it for. I'm willing to put money down if it helps me get what I want. Your advice is much appreciated. |

Replying to: suvgal (Apr 17, 2005 8:23 am) I just wanted to add that $3300 included $1400 in rebates, a trade in (after my old financing was paid off) value of $625 and $1275 down. |

Car_Man: I was wondering if you had seen my message #19094. I was wanting the residuals & money factors for the CRV EX & SE models, based on 3 years and 12,000 miles/year. I want to compare to the Element and see if the CRV is a better vehicle to lease. Thanks! |

Hi Car_Man, I am looking at the 2006 GS300 or 2005 LS430 and am trying to find out what the best lease should be for each. For the GS300 the best I have seen in So. Cal is: MSRP: $50,209 Sell Price: $47,995 Residual: $21,589 Money Factor: 0.0017 Term: 48 months Miles: 15,000 / year Down Payment: $2,000 Lease: $666 + Tax For the '05 LS430 I saw the following post from 12/2004 and am wondering if this is realistic or I might even be able to do better. MSRP: $62,489 Sell Price: $54,552 Residual: $35,562 Money Factor: 0.00188 Term: 36 months Miles: 12,000 / year Down Payment: $1,662 (1st payment+$200 down payment+$495 dealer fee+ some additional fees) Monthly Payment: $738 (including 6% tax) Finally, what would I expect to add for 15,000 miles/year? Thanks! |

Hi savethefleas. Interesting username. Toyota has not been providing any sort of lease support on Scion models. As a result, if you were to lease one through its captive finance company, you would have to use its standard lease money factors. The last time that I saw, Toyota Financial Services' standard money factor for Scion models, it was around .00225 for Tier 1 customers who pay a security deposit. I have not seen this model's residual values lately though. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hi jdg345. This isn't the best time of the year to lease a BMW 3-Series Convertible. As it typically does when the weather warms up, BMW reduced its lease support on 3-Series Convertibles this month. One model that you didn't mention in your post, but may want to consider is the Audi A4 Convertible. It has a decent lease program available on it right now. You also could consider the MINI Convertible. It doesn't have much in the way of lease support, but is a pretty neat car. Of course, there's always the good old Chrysler Sebring Convertible. It's not my favorite vehicle, but it does have a decent amount of lease support available on it. The only problem with leasing one is that its residual values are terrible. Also, the Saab 9-3 Convertible has quite a bit of lease support available on it right now. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum
