#10 of 30 Lease question by dashbb Feb 09, 2007 (11:55 am)
I did not see a seperate Lease Questions section for the XL-7, so I'm requesting it here.   A couple dealers here in the Chicago area said that Suzuki Financial is offering a "balloon" lease on 2007 XL-7. The way it was explained to me seemed very much like the old GM SmartBuy program.   Could anyone please provide any insight on this program? Thx.

Replying to: dashbb (Feb 09, 2007 11:55 am) It sounds like a balloon note.. It should be similar to the SmartBuy program, but the details could differ..   You'll want to look at the contract for details on turning the car back in, possible end of contract charges, etc...   Usually, they push balloon notes in states where the tax laws make leasing disadvantageous... Where do you live? Replies to this message: dashbb (Feb 09, 2007 10:31 pm) kyfdx (Feb 10, 2007 1:35 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Feb 09, 2007 11:59 am) You're probably right. I live in Illinois where we're required to pay full sales tax on the entire purchase price (Cap Cost) and not on the difference (Cap Cost - Residual); neither a percentage of monthly payment. Unless you have a business tax deduction, it does not make much sense to lease in Illinois. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Feb 10, 2007 1:35 pm)

Replying to: dashbb (Feb 09, 2007 10:31 pm) I agree... a balloon note or a straight finance is the best way to go...   Unless there is some kind of promotion, you'll usually do better with a straight purchase.. The interest rates on balloon notes is usually fairly high.   regards, kyfdx

#16 of 30 I bought one last week... by goaterguy Nov 07, 2007 (6:02 am)
I bought a 2007 Suzuki XL7 Luxury AWD with Sunroof on Oct. 30 for my wife, from Prestige Suzuki in Asheville NC. I got if for $22,900 - $1,000 Owners loyalty - Trade in. Thats around $4,700 under MSRP not including the owners loyalty plus they gave me a bit more than KBB value for my trade. To follow the forum rules I cant post the salesman name but if someone wants it, let me know. I have a dealer 10 minutes away from me and I prefered to do business with Prestige wich although is 5 hours away they delivered and took the trade in. My wife loves her new XL7, powerful engine, nice comfy leather seats, sunroof, AWD and all the safety features it includes plus the 7yr/100k warranty. I want to thank all the automotive reporter that negatively criticized this vehicle, without them I would have never gotten it at this price. I paid $22,500 for my base Explorer 11 years ago!!! I am a car enthusiast and I really recomend this SUV for the money. Edit: I financed with my credit union, no weird balloon financing contracts here.   Replies to this message: seloo (Nov 07, 2007 4:19 pm)
