Hi chrismang1. According to the latest information that I have see, if you were to lease a 2005 Lexus RX330 without navigation or the rear entertainment system through Lexus Financial Services in your area right now for 3 years with 15,000 miles per, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00146 and 56%, respectively. I am not aware of any dealer cash that is available on this model at this time. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

I'm pretty sure that I already responded to your post about the Ford Expedition, 4x4. Take a look around and see if you can find my reply. If not, let me know and I will respond to it again. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

You're very welcome, Miguel. I used a lease money factor of .00175 and residual value of 59% to calculate the 39 month, 15,000 miles per year lease and a factor / residual value of .00175 / 57% to calculate the 42 month lease. Infiniti Financial Services' 12,000 miles per year residual values are 1% higher than its 15,000 miles per year residuals. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Yeah, sorry about that Dean. If I am not mistaken, I believe that North Carolina is in Toyota's Southeast region as well. If you decide that you do not want to pay the SE Toyota distributor's jacked up prices, you can always lease your new car up here in New York before moving. I don't believe that Toyota's lease program is actually that bad in New York. It isn't providing any sort of lease support on the recently redesigned Avalon though. As a result, if you were to lease one through Toyota Financial Services, you would have to use its standard lease program. The last time that I say its standard lease money factor for your area it was .00225 for consumers who qualify for its "Tier 1" credit tier. Its 36 month, 15,000 miles per year residual value for your area should be 58%. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

No problem, Dan. I also saw the earlier post on Texas' unfavorable sales tax laws changing, but I do not know the exact details of this change. You may be able to find out more informaiton on how sales tax is now calculated on leased vehicles in Texas by visiting one of the following sites: Texas Department od Transportation Expressway or Texas Taxes.

Hi seden. Interesting, two consecutive posts about how sales tax is calculated on leased vehicles in Texas. Please see my previous post for my response to the first question on this subject. The lease money factor and residual value that you posted are correct for a 3 year, 12,000 miles per lease of a 2005 Honda Accord EX-L without navigation. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

You're welcome, suvgal. I have no idea what state your zip code is for, but I can tell you that Toyota Financial Services' base lease money factor and residual value for a 3 year, 12,000 miles per lease of a base 2005 Highlander 4WD should be .00106 and 62% in most areas. If you let me know what state you are in, I can confirm that this program is available in your area. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Hey Dennis. I believe that Mazda's lease cash on the 2005 RX-8 is up to $3,000 in April, $1,000 customer lease cash, $1,000 dealer lease cash, and a $1,000 bonus for unsupported leases of this model through Mazda Credit. I have not seen what its unsupported lease money factors and residual values for this car are like recently though. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

No problem, kappajen. You're right, the redesigned Jetta is a little expensive to lease right now. If you were to lease a 2005 Mazda3s through Mazda Credit right now for 3 years with 15,000 miles per, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00056 and 47%, respectively. Toyota's lease program varies by region, but in most areas its base lease money factor and residual value for a 3 year, 15,000 miles per lease of a 2005 Toyota Corolla should be .00097 and 51% for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. If you let me know what state you are in, I can confirm whether this program is good in your area. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Greetings smd5. Here is the informaiton that you are looking for. If you were to lease a 2005 BMW 525i through BMW Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00125 and 60%, respectively. The money factor for an otherwise identical 30 month lease of this car would be the same, but the residual value would increase to 65%. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |
