You're welcome, Pluvious. Let's work up a sample lease payment on this car and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 Jaguar S-Type 3.0L with an MSRP of $48,570 and a selling price of $42,800 through Jaguar Credit right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $602. When negotiating your lease on this car, keep in mind that Jaguar is providing $3,500 dealer cash on it. this money will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.

The salesperson who you are working with makes an interesting cash for leasing, but he/she is basing the 60 month finance payment on an interest rate of 4.75%. Try running some payment comparisons using the 0% rate that one can finance a 2005 Expedition through Ford Credit at right now and see the difference. Make sure to take the fact that Ford's cash incentives cannot be combined with this 0% rate into account in your calculations. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Hi suvgal. I am sorry to say that once you have signed a lease contract on a vehicle and have physically driven off of the dealer's lot there really isn't any way to get out of or alter your deal. If you feel as though you are paying too much to lease your current vehicle, you will just have to chalk it up a as learning experience and do more research in advance next time. I just calculated a sample lease payment on this vehicle using the numbers that you provided in your post and I also came up with $322.55 before tax. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

You're not being a pest at all, chrismang1. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2005 Lexus RX 330 AWD with navigation through Lexus Financial Services in your area right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00146 and 54%, respectively.

Very interesting, Dan. You're right paying sales tax on the entire price of the vehicle that you are leasing stinks. Thanks for taking the time to look into this matter and report back to us. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Hi suvindc. It is difficult for me to evaluate the selling price that you were quoted with sales tax included. Do you know what this vehicle's price is before tax in relation to its full MSRP? For more feedback on this model's pricing, you should stop by the following discussion: "Infiniti FX45 / FX35: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |

Hey ca_man. All of the aspects of this deal that you mentioned, namely the $1,500 owner loyalty incentive and the lease money factor, look good to me. It is difficult to say what manufacturers' future incentive programs will be like with 100% accuracy. I do know that Audi dealers have been complaining that business is slow because the A4 and A6 are very expensive to lease right now. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say that Audi's lease program next month will be at least as attractive as its current one, if not better. Having said this, nobody knows for certain what the new program will be like right now, not even Audi dealers themselves. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

Here you go, nathann. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe with an MSRP of $37,000 and a selling price of $34,632 through Infiniti Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $468. The selling price that you were quoted for this car looks reasonable to me, but you may want to stop by the following discussion to get additional feedback on it from other community members who have either recently purchased or who are in the market for similar cars: "Infiniti G35: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

Hello Sean. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s 2 year residual value for the 2005 Altima SL is indeed 2% lower than its residual value for the base Altima. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |
