Cost difference between business (s-corp) and personal car lease? by duntuk
Feb 18, 2007 (6:53 pm)

I'm about to lease a car in a couple of weeks (2007 audi a4 ) under my father's name (who has perfect credit)...
 
(my credit got ruined due to identity theft--so putting it under my name isn't an option)
 
Would it be possible to start a new business (s-corp), and qualify for the same lease under my business (even if it's only 1 week old)?
 
What's the cost difference between a personal and business car lease? how about the cost of insurance?
 
Basically, i want to be able to write off this lease on my taxes (because car would be used 60% for business) ... so i'm not sure if i'll even be able to do that, if the car was under my father's name, therefore the business lease would come into play.... so not sure which would be more "cost affective"...
 
Thanks for any input on this.

side note: i also just became and "independent contractor" , and i am planning on starting an s-corp for better taxes.

Hello;
I think your tax related questions could be answered best by a good Tax consultant.

Hi Papapapaul:
 
Thanks for the note. What does that work out to for a monthly payment?
 
Thanks a lot.

Hi escortowner. Vehicles' money factors and residual values are set by the bank that you are leasing them through. Individual dealers to not have the authority to alter banks' published residual values and they cannot lower banks' buy rate lease money factors. Dealers are often allowed to "mark-up" vehicles' money factors to add additional hidden, back-end profit to deals. That is why it is important to know exactly what your vehicle's money factor should be prior to finalizing your deal.

You're very welcome alcarmedia . Good point about the all season tires. As an added bonus, consumers who live on places that get snow won't have to change their tires in the winter if they get the all season tires. Those performance tires can be pretty slippery in the snow.

Hi Afraz. Is $34,635 this car's MSRP or its selling price? If you let me know what they both are I will gladly tell you what I think of this deal.

HI sestra. I am sorry to hear about your car problems. Unfortunately, once you signed your lease contract and physically drove your car off of the dealer's lot it was yours. You cannot give it back at this point. You certainly can express your displeasure to the dealer and see what they will do for you, but they are not obligated to do anything but fix your car. Hopefully the dealer will repair your car properly the first time and you will not continue to have problems with it. Make sure to document all of the repairs that you have had done to your car, including keeping the receipts and taking notes on who you spoke with. In the unfortunate and unlikely event that your vehicle continues to have problems you will need this information if you decide to proceed with a Lemon Law case against Audi.

Hi pootie562. This particular discussion is for consumers to discuss leasing the Audi A4. You will probably have better luck getting a response to your question if you post it in the following discussion: "Audi A4 2005+".

You're very welcome, giampiero6. I'm glad that you enjoy it . How many months are left on your current A4 lease. Trying to get out if it early will likely cause you to spend more than you have to to get your new A4. You would probably better off waiting until you are closer to the scheduled end of your current lease to get a new car.
 
If you are set on getting a new A4 now, I can give you an idea of how much it would cost to lease one. I just need some additional information from you first, including the car's approximate selling price, how long you want to lease it for, and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it. You should be able to get an idea of what sort of selling price to expect by visiting the following discussion: "Audi A4: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
