Leasing a 300C AWD by chevyguy2

What is the current residual and lease factor on a 2006 300C AWD from Chrysler 39 month lease. Are these rated posted anywhere. Will these rates change to be more favorable toward the end of December?
 
Also, when you get a quote from a dealer, do they include GAP insurance, and any other kind of fees, like paperwork and/or disposition. And, do they include these as part of the negotiated price?

What questions must I ask the dealer before.... by cdbullandbear

Hi there Car Man!
 
My husband and I are from Queens, NY and we're interested in comparing a leasing option vs. a finance. However, we don't know the first thing about leasing. So my question is what do I have to ask them in order to determine if Im getting a fair deal? I see residuals in past emails and purchase price...whatelse would I need to run this by you? Thank you for your time. Christina

Car_man,
I've changed since posting this, what I'm looking at now is a Chrysler 300 Touring Signature Series. I would like to lease it for 4 years, with no money down. The MSRP is $30,440, I didn't get a selling price. Also I will drive it 12,000 miles a year.
Thank You.

Hi chevyguy2. If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler 300C AWD through Chrysler Financial right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00229 and 55%, respectively. I am not aware of any resource that provides this sort of information to the general public. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take the $1,000 bonus cash that is available on Chrysler Financial deals into account. I believe, but am not 100% positive, that Chrysler Financial automatically includes gap insurance in its leases at no additional charge. It charges a lease acquisition fee of $550 on all deals at signing. You can either pay this charge then or have it rolled into your car's capitalized cost. Any sort of doc fees are completely between you and the dealer and are not much more than a way to add additional profit to your deal.

Hi Christina. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
The two most important numbers for you to focus on when negotiating your lease are your vehicle's selling price and its lease money factor. These are the two main profit centers for dealers on leases. The selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. The money factor is important to know because dealers often have the authority to "mark-up" banks' buy rates to add additional hidden back-end profit to deals. I can tell you exactly what the money factor should be like for the car you are considering if you provide me with a detailed description of it and tell me how long you want to lease it for.

Hi tjbennett. You definitely shouldn't lease this car for 4 years. Its 48 month lease program is terrible. You would be much better off leasing it for 39 months. Chrysler Financial's current 39 month, 12,000 miles per year buy rate lease money factor and residual value for the 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring Signature Series are .00264 and 59%, respectively.

If I want to lease with 12,000 rather then 15,000 miles, what changes in the lease factor and residual value?

Hi Car_Man;
 
I have been looking at the 300C and Limited and am about to start negotiating with local dealers. Before I start the process, I'd like to know what the likelihood is of better incentives in January as opposed to making a deal in December.
 
Thanks.

Hey Car_Man -
 
I'm looking at leasing a 2006 300C AWD. The one I'm looking at is fully loaded....with a MSRP of $41506. Taking into account the $1000 rebate what should I expect to pay (excluding tax) for a $0 down 39 month 12000 mile lease? Residual?
 
Thanks in advance for the info.

Chevyguy2, Chrysler Financial's lease money factors are exactly the same for leases with 12,000 and 15,000 miles per year, but its 12,000 miles per residuals for leases longer than 30 months are 2% higher than its 15,000 miles per year residuals.
