| Car_Man, I'm in New Jersey! | |
| A disadvantage of a 39 month lease in California is the vehicle registration fees. The registration fees are due yearly and you would end up paying for another year of registration by the 36th month, yet only have the car for an additional 3 months. You would then be returning the vehicle and leasing a new vehicle immediately paying registration fees again on the next car. Yearly registration fees are about 2% of the value of the vehicle so it could negate the savings of the slightly lower monthly payment of a 39 month lease vs a 36 month lease where you returned the vehicle before the registration due date. | |
| I would be leasing the van for 36 months, unless Honda has other options. I am assuming that you give me Honda's numbers, and not those from other sources. | |

Actually, the VW incentives for November are now published in the Incentives and Rebates section. When I sent my request on Monday, it must have been "in between" months. Thanks again. |

| Thanks Car_Man for providing accurate information on the October MF and residual for the 2004 525. I leased the car on October 31. The dealer gave me a small cap reduction because I asked for it, and he said OK since I had leased a 525 from him in December 2001. I've read on other Edmunds BMW boards about the price increases with the 2004 BMW models, but found that my monthly payments are slightly less than with the 2001 model. Both models are similarly equipped. The residual is higher now (.62 versus .60 in 2001) and the interest rate is significantly lower. So thanks again for information that helped me negotiate what I consider to be a fair deal. | |

Car Man: Would appreciate your assistance with the November factory money factors and residuals on the following (asking for all at once so hopefully I only bug you once) We are located in Mpls., Minnesota and please assume 15,000 miles/year: 1. 2004 Accord EX V6 w/NAV -- 36 months 2. 2004 Acura TL w/NAV -- 36 months and 42 months 3. 2004 Lexus ES 330 w/NAV -- 36 months Thanks in advance. BTW, I noticed that Honda is now offering financing of 1.9 % on Accords -- would this necessarily mean that the money factor is 1/24th of 1.9%, or does that rate only apply to purchases? |

| my lease is expring on my 2001 mdx. i now need to make a decison: should i buy out the car from the lease or purchase/lease a new car. i have enjoyed the mdx, but cannot afford to lease or buy a 2004 model. i can buy the 2001 mdx for about $26K, or buy/lease a ford explorer for about $28k. looking 3 years down the road on resale value, am i better off with a 6 year old acura with 72k miles, or a 3 year old explorer with 36k miles? any advice? | |
