Hello Folks, I am interested in a 2006 premium plus with nav. MSRP 45,708. I am planning a 39 month lease, with 12k miles/yr. Please give me an opinion of the following parameters: 1) Sale price $41,800 2) Money factor 0.0026 3) Residual = 57% 4) Acquisition Fee = $650 5) Security Deposit = $0 - assumes excellent credit This gives me a monthly payment of $598.53 Another questions; Maryland has a 5% sales tax. Should I pay this amount $2090(5% of sale price and acq. fee) up front at signing or can I pay this with the monthly payment. Thanks, Michael from MD |

Replying to: seabush (Nov 09, 2005 8:39 pm) Do you believe that 56% residual and money factor of 0.00235 is good? They claim that there is a $600 acquisition fee from LFS. Is that true? Thanx in advance.

Replying to: nc_driver1 (Nov 10, 2005 2:30 pm) Example $40,300 x .56 = 22568 (Residual value) 36,101 (net capitalized cost)- $22,568 (residual value) = 13,533(depreciation)/36 months =$375.92 (monthly depreciation payment) ($36,101 + 22,568) x 0.00235 (approx 5.64% interest rate)= $137.87 (money factor payment portion) Total payment = $375.92 + $137.87 = $513.79 (excludes $600 acquisition fee and sales tax). Note: When I add sales tax and the acquistion to the total cost, my payment for this car would be $558.46 per month (total payments of $19,147.16 for three years/12,000 miles per year.) I noticed that some companies are leasing for 1.9% to 2.9%. I would try to halve money factor to .001175 (2.82% or half of 5.64%). That will bring your payment to $485.34. (MD resident with no money down). I've never leased a car. I can't imagine paying an acquisition fee. I understand money factor rates are lower in December. You might want to wait until then. Also, I highly recommend using the lease calculator at http://www.carbuyingtips.com/regm.xls. It is very useful in helping you quickly crank out numbers. |
