Re: Buy late used or left over 2006? [habitat1] by going2wait41

Thanks. I was happy with the price. Had another offer for $29,300 so the dealers seem motivated to move the remaining 2006's.
 
There are 2007's available. Since there are no differences between the 2006 and 2007, and I tend to keep cars a long time , I didn't seriously price a 2007. At $29,000 I had reached about the limit of what I was willing (and able) to pay for a car I won't be driving every day.

I work at a dealership and leases are not always a bad deal they just usually are. You just have to negotiate the deal as you would a purchase. Look at actual residual values, not the ones the dealer gives you, then add up your total payments and money down, then see if its a good deal. Remember to ask about their dint and ding policy because some are atrocious. It is ridiculous to think that someone would drive a car for several years and not get a scratch on it. If anyone in the Dallas area needs any help at all let me know, no one can beat me on a deal, period.

Anyone recommend a dealer in/near CO that makes great deals? by rd1ofakind

I keep hearing about people getting new S2K's for 29K + fees, and I am wondering if anyone can recommend a dealership in or around Colorado that is making these great deals. I want to lease for 36 months with 0 down, and open to 48 months, if it makes sense.
 
With the current S2K promotion the best deal I have been able to get so far today is:
 
0 down, 36 month lease, 12k per year, $470 month + tax
0 down, 48 month lease, 12k per year, $430 month + tax
 
Price of vehicle: $30,787.16

These payments are based on Honda Finance leasing, with super preferred tier.
 
If I can get the car at Invoice - $2000 + $595 lease acquisition fee = $423.66 + tax, I would lease it right away. Anyone know where I can get a deal like this? Thanks in advance for any input.

Does not sound like a good deal in my opinion. What price did you negotiate, do you have good credit, do you have a trade-in?

I agree with accelerator, does not sound like a good deal. I'm a buyer, not a leasor, but here's my analysis:
 
You are paying $16,520 for three years / 36k miles of use on a car that you could buy outright for $29,000 + taxes. I bought a 2002 S2000 in November 2001 and traded it in May 2004 w/ 18,000 miles for $23,200. If you actually keep the car for 3 years and put $36k on it, you might not get that on resale, but I'd be shocked if you couldn't get at least $20-$21k, probably more. Meaning that if you buy or $29k and (guessing) your taxes and fees are $2k for a total of $31k, you should be able to drive the car for three years for a total of around $10k in depreciation.
 
I'd buy under that scenario.

I agree... maybe not the best lease deal... but, that comparison doesn't factor in finance charges..
 
To do an even comparison, you have to assume that you are borrowing the purchase price, less any downpayment. Even with that, I'd buy as well..

TTL by accelerator

For Financing, not Leasing:
 
I know how to figure Tax but what about the Title, License, and other fees... is there a precent ratio or a dollar amount that you can figure? Typically, I use 10% of the selling cost to account for TTL and other fees.
 
e.g.:
In Texas, the tax is .0625%
so if a car sells for $20,000
Sales Tax: $20000 * .0625 = $1,250
Title/License/Other Fees: $2,000 - $1,250 = $750
 
Does this work for you guys?
