Hi alinagm1. This car's lease payment will depend upon what sort of selling price you are able to negotiate on it. I personally would shoot for $500 over dealer invoice on a 2007 Chrysler 300 right now. When the $2,500 lease cash that is currently available on the 2007 Chrysler 300C it taken into account that puts you at around $2,000 under invoice. You can look up this car's dealer invoice price by visiting the following section of this site: Edmunds.com - New Vehicle Pricing. Once you have an approximate selling price, let me know and I will be happy to estimate what this car's monthly payment should be for you.

Hi tao. You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what its selling price is.

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

Just want to know what happens at the end of the lease on my 300. The dealer never told what to expect. If I choose to purchase the car, does chrysler send info on payments and all I need to do is accept and move on or do I need to bring the car in for the dealer inspection. Point is I want to keep the car and I want add a new grille and tint the windows. Since this is a lease I have put this off.
 
Thanks in Advance

I would say yes, since the dealer asked me did I want to trade in my truck when I was doing my lease. It would just be more of a cash downpayment which would make your payment lower, but would be a waste even if you intend on buying the car at the end of the lease, because at that point you will refinace at the value of the car at the end of the lease. Your trade in will have no effect at that point.
Bottom line, your trade in would amount to no more than pocket money for the dealer.

#197 of 254 HELP!! I want a LOW monthly payment....... by gary154

May 02, 2007 (5:47 am)

I am interested in leasing an '07 Limited AWD for 36 months with 15,000 miles allowed per year. The Invoice price of the car is $34,152 and the TMV price is $35,395. I live in the Chicago area. I do not want to put down any money except for the first month's payment. My credit rating is excellent. What kind of monthly payment can I expect? I just read that 300 sales are down over 20% this year and I also think Chrysler is now offering $2500 incentive on a 300 lease - I could be wrong about that though. Any help one can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hi srtocho. This is not a stupid question at all. Yes, you absolutely can trade in a vehicle when leasing a new one. Having said this if you decide to do this, it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you trade your vehicle to cut you a check for it rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease. I always advise consumers against making large down payments when leasing. Those who do risk losing part or all of their down payment if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

Hello slydog_300. If you decide to purchase your car at the end of your lease you will not have to get it inspected. Just place a call to Chrysler Financial a month or two before the scheduled end of your lease and tell them that you are considering purchasing your car. I said "considering" because from time to time banks are willing to negotiate the lease-end purchase prices of vehicles. More often than not they won't, but it doesn't hurt to see if they would be willing to give you a discount before telling them that you definitely want to buy it.
 
You can make the modifications that you mentioned now IF you are absolutely positive that you will purchase your car and the end of your lease. If you aren't sure that you will then you would be better off waiting to make them.
