Replying to: rosales1 (May 04, 2005 11:43 am) The security deposit is refundable, when you turn the car back in if there is any excessive wear and tear charges it comes out of the deposit then you get the rest (if any) back. Each lease bank has different standards on what is "Excessive" - but normally small scratches and dings are OK, larger ones or pits/chips in the glass are not. Most captive lease banks (like Mazda credit) tend to be more lenient when it comes to excessive. If they get too tough then folks would not lease from them again. Dennis

Replying to: rosales1 (May 04, 2005 12:07 pm) 1) What is the net cap cost for this deal ? 2) What is the money factor for this deal ? 3) Is this deal available on other RX-8s besides this base model ? I will post if I hear something back. Dennis |

Carman, can you tell me what the latest Residual and Money Factor is for a 2005 Lexus GX 470 including Navagation and 3rd row seat? I am looking at both a 48 Month 15K/Yr Lease and a 36 Month 15K/Yr Lease? Thanks, - Jimmy |

CarMan I am responding to your questions regarding the 2005 Acura TL lease. Here are my answers. By the way my girlfriend, who is up my you know what, just wants this done even though we only actually started looking this past Sat. Please tell here this takes some time!!! Anyway.... She wants the 2005 TL auto w/Nav. The full MSRP is $34,650 with a dest. fee of $545. The invoice is $31,575. I checked on line and I believe these #'s are correct. I would like to get this car for $32,000. 48 month lease with 12k a year. We took her trade (2002 Toyota Camry LE with 45,000 miles) to 1 of the local dealerships and they "appraised" the car for $10,500 and her buyout is $14,500. I assume they are rolling $4000 into the new lease. From what I gather the buy rate is .00220 and the same dealership quoted me a buy rate of .00230. I am doing my numbers and I am coming up with a total monthly payment (with $2,500 down) of $485 - $500. I want to do the very best though without looking like a pain in the ass. I am in sales too. I was also wondering if the Dest. fee of $545 is negotiable or again am I being a pest. The car is on the lot. DWYNN gave me a residual rate of 59% w/Nav but that was for a 36 month lease. I don't know if that changes for the 48 month lease she wants. I knew nothing about this 5 days ago so this is all a crash course!!! I hope I have given you all of the necessary info you need. Please help

Replying to: eva3b (May 04, 2005 6:01 am) Now if you want the contents of your vehicle protected an aftermarket alarm will do this. The bypass modules as referred above are needed for remote start functions. Honda's require only one, additional protective modules such as radar or glass or almost useless. Regardless go aftermarket to a reputable shop, the dealership does not install these, they are sourced out, most likely you'll end up at the same place the dealership uses, less the mark up.

I see, gwarrenfl. I thought that your ordered car was still in transit. If it is already physically at the dealer then yes you would have to sign your contract on it before the 5th to take advantage of the April program. Given the fact that April's program is fair and we are approaching convertible season, I probably would sign a lease using the April program if I was in your situation.
