#19225 of 23872 Re: Pathfinder Lease in Chicago by Car_man HOST Apr 19, 2005 (3:50 am)
Hi mrhyde. Generally speaking, dealers usually do not lie about how the sales tax is calculated on leased vehicles. Of course, I am sure that there are isolated cases where this happens though. I am not personally familiar with how sales tax is calculated on leased vehicles in Chicago. You may be able to find out additional informaiton on this subject by visiting the following site: Chicago Department of Revenue.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Replying to: Car_man (Apr 19, 2005 3:13 am) Hi Car_man, I am from NJ. I used the 'calculate your own lease payment' and if I worked this out right, I am now paying $24 too much for a longer term lease (and if I'm right, is there a way to renegotiate a lease?) This is how I did it: MSRP:$34,558 Net Capitalized Cost:$31035.77 1. Residual: $34,558 * .62:$21,425.96 2. Depreciation: $31,035.77-$21,425.96 = $9,609.81 3.Monthly Depreciation Payment:$9,609.81/36 = $266.94 4. Money Factor Payment Portion: ($31035.77 + $21,425.96) * .00106 = $55.61 5. Bottom Line Monthly Lease = $322.55 6. With State Tax (6% included) = $322.55 * 1.06 = $341.90   I'll be paying $365 so if this is right I got taken by a lot.   Thanks for your advice.

Hello ibs. The stairstep program that provides dealers with $200 to $750 on Accords and Civics is a national program. Having said this, this is a dealer cash incentive. That means that not only are dealers not obligated to share it with consumers, they don't even have to confirm that it exists. The more Accords and Civics dealers sell, the more money they get back from Honda. The exact amount that each dealer receives through this program will vary, but most dealers will probably receive $300 to $400 per car.   Honda's lease program for Accord and Civic coupes are the same as they are for sedan models.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Replying to: golovast (Apr 18, 2005 5:27 pm) By my calculations, I get 428.28, but this is before you add the 8.25% tax. After tax, it becomes 463.62.

Replying to: Car_man (Apr 19, 2005 3:19 am) Thanks alot. It looks like VW is the better deal! Mazda just quoted me $406.00! Granted I'm buying extra miles (25000 extra over 3 yrs at .08 cents/mile) but does that make sense? I live in New York (bad state for leasing, I know) but that seems a little excessive! The price for the Mazda3 that I tested was 17,000. Am I missing something?
#19231 of 23872 Re: sales tax in Texas [Car_man] by dhamilton Apr 19, 2005 (5:32 am)
Replying to: Car_man (Apr 19, 2005 3:10 am) O.K.  I called the Texas state comptroller's office. When leasing a vehicle in Texas you pay 6.25% on the whole vehicle, not just on the leased part. I'm not sure what changed as far as the previous posts that mentioned some sort of Texas tax change. It definatly was not the tax on the whole vehicle part. That bumps up the payment on a base MDX 50 freakin bucks. THAT STINKS. Hope this helps..Dan
#19232 of 23872 Good deal on FX35? by suvindc Apr 19, 2005 (5:57 am)
I am interested in leasing a 2005 Infiniti FX35 (with sport package and cargo protector). I have spoken to several different dealerships via email or the phone. Before I start talking money factor and residuals, I've been trying to get an out the door quote of some sort. The most recent quote was $41,250. According to the Internet Manager this includes the final figure plus taxes (I live in VA), tags, and the processing fee. According to Edmunds, the MSRP for this same vehicle and the options I stated is $39,080. Therefore, is $41,250 after taxes, tags, and fees a good deal?
#19233 of 23872 2005 Audi A6 - Need advice by ca_man Apr 19, 2005 (6:25 am)
Fellow netizens ,   Audi currently has a decent deal on the A6 , .00129 MF base and 56% Residual for 36 months .... plus $1500 rebate for Audi loyalty. We are in no hurry to buy though. I have been shopping around on the internet, and the questions I have are : Is it worth waiting for next month's lease rates ? What is the typical direction for lease rates at this point in a brand new car's life cycle ?   Thanks in advance !
#19234 of 23872 Infiniti G35 Coupe 6MT Lease in MD by nathann Apr 19, 2005 (6:36 am)
Car_Man, can you figure out a least payment for me? 36 month lease, 15k/year, MSRP of $37k, selling of $34,632, money factor of .00215, residual of 60%. Normal fees and such, with a security deposit.   Also, and more subjectively, do these numbers sound fairly decent? Thanks for all your help! Replies to this message: nathann (Apr 19, 2005 8:36 am)
