Replying to: Car_man (Feb 27, 2007 3:57 am) MSRP of $34975 Navi and SOund group II Total sticker price $37780. VIN #: 2C3KA63H47H754054 We are looking to trade in a 2005 Chevy Tahoe 41000 miles, with payoff of $32,000. We don't want to put any money down if possible. Can you try and figure out a best lease possible scenerio with this pay off on Tahoe? We have appreciated the forum and all the help. However, now we have our own specifics. Thanks in advance.

Was called by a Chrysler dealer that I could turn in my lease with no penalthy provided I lease/buy another Chrysler product since lease had less than 4 months left on it. I took them up on the offer and went in for a test drive. First the 300C then the Magnum SRT8. When I lease a vehicle it's all about a subvented lease. I don't care what color or options a car has as long as I'm in a high end vehicle for the cheapest price available. Was turning in a 04 Crossfire with MSRP of 35.5K that I leased for 39 months for $299 a month + tax and 2300 down. I decided on a 36K MSRP 300C that would be leased at similar terms, which came out to $400 a month including tax with 0 down. This was my target. Whether it would be met I had 0 expectations of since I'm not in a forced position. To me the dealer is in a must deal position since he had 27 07 300C on the lot with not a single customer at the dealership for the 3 hours I was there. Now I know why Mercedes Benz is trying to sell off the Chrysler division. The 300C is no longer the must have vehicle it was when it first made its debut. Just like any car on the market after a few years no one wants it. With any high volume produced car if you don't offer heavy incentives it's not going to move. This was the first deal they came back with: $7K down and $460 a month including CA tax for 27 months and 10.5 K miles a year. Honestly, my first reaction was an immediate burst of laughter. I couldn't control myself. You can't con a con. After the fun it was time to go on the offensive. They counter with a $490 a month including tax for 39 months with 0 down. I then told them about the deals I was offered through other dealers. I was offered a 300C SRT8 with an MSRP of $48K for $530 a month including tax for 39 months. They tried to lease me a $35.5K vehicle for almost the same price as a $48K limited production SRT8. This was for a previous customer too. I proceded to tell them about the $460 a month including tax 0 down 27 month lease on a $43K MSRP Infiniti FX35 I was given and a $40K BMW X3 for $470 a month including tax 0 down for 24 months. As I said I'll drive anything nice. The people who get the shaft are those that demand a certain car, a certain color, certain packages, when in reality all these cars are fantastic. If you're buying a car then fine but this is a lease that you're turning in so why be picky. Dealers always jump on the weak. I'll wait for my Crossfire lease to expire before grabbing a subvented lease on whatever is available within a month of my expiration. My hunch is Chrysler will offer better promos deeper into the year as the inventory of these vehicles continues to build up. I'd also like to mention that the 07 Magnum SRT8 I drove had a $42K MSRP and a 5K markup while a dealer just 10 miles away had 3 06 new SRT8 leftovers that they were pushing for 8K off MSRP. Do your homework and never be in a rush. That is my experience I thought I'd share with the board. |

From dealer: " hello, heres the info you requested on the 2007 300 srt-8 you can lease this car for 597.00 a month that payment reflects no money down from you except your first payment and plates all the taxes are rolled in the lease if you should shop the price you need to remember that also that is 12k miles a year if you should have any questions you can contact me ************* directly  ***-***-**** hope you find this satisfactory . " Thanks for your help...

Can you trade a car(paid for) in on a lease deal? This is return business to the same dealer. (I hope this falls under/ "there are no stupid questions,just confused people") Thanks
