You're very welcome, GoJayhawks. Thanks for the additional information. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler 300C AWD with an MSRP of $41,506 and a selling price of $38,500 through Chrysler Financial right now for 39 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $523. Daimlerchrysler extended its December incentives through January 9th. It is difficult to say what its lease program will be like on this car after that date.

Can you give me the money factor and residual on a 36 month (or if there is optimal length such as 39 month) lease with 10K and 12K per year. This is for the 300 SRT8. I can figure the proper payments from there.

Hello Car Man, I'm an X Car Guy myself. I was thinking of maybe leasing a 2006 Chrysler 300C and not looking forward to having to deal with another dealer. I'm not sure where you are but I'm located in Southern California. (not sure if rates are the same where you are) And was wondering if you might have the buy rate and residual for a 24 and 36 month lease. Also if you know what program is the best. If you can believe my local dealer has a $3000.00 dealer markup on the sticker on all his cars. Do you also have the invoice price on a fully loaded 300C with upgraded sound system and Navigation. I'm sorry I can't give you the exact sticker price of the car as I'm just starting to look and haven't gotten that far yet. I can try to price it out for you asap but if you can maybe help me with what the dealer has in the car and any incentives that might be going on at this time. Also, I've been reading some things about Trans problems with the car and wanted to know if you know anything about that too. I'm coming out of a 2004 Infiniti M45 that's being bought back by Infiniti under the lemon law and really don't want to have to deal with all that again in my next vehicle. Any help you can provide is much appreciated.

SRT 8 Lease

I am considering leasing an SRT8. We have yet to decide on which vehicle we want, 300c SRT8 or Magnum SRT8. Can you please compare the two lease programs for me and if there is a differance in residual. The Magnum lists at 42,200 and can be bought for 39,500. The 300 list around 45 and sells at sticker. We are looking at 15k per year and wither 36 or 39 month, which ever is more attractive.
Thanks

I sure can, jeffreywilens. If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT-8 through Chrysler Financial right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00216 and 57%, respectively. I'm not sure if Chrysler Financial leases vehicles with only 10,000 miles per year, but I don't think that it does. On an interesting side note, as of January 1st, Chrysler Financial no longer charges security deposits on leases. In exchange for waiving its security deposit requirement it raised its acquisition fee to $700 on all models.

Hey Paul. I don't believe that there is any variation in Chrysler Financial's lease program for the 2006 Chrysler 300 by region. According to the latest info that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler 300C through CFC (I think that they are officially called something like DaimlerChrysler Financial Services now) for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00212 and 60%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease should be .00216 and 56%.
A $3,000 additional dealer mark-up on this car is absolutely absurd, unless there is some sort of shortage of the "C" model that I'm not aware of. In fact, DaimlerChrysler currently has a $1,000 bonus cash incentive on this car right now that should help you to negotiate a selling price that's well below MSRP. There should be a number of Chrysler dealers in Southern California. You should shop around a little bit to see if you can get a more reasonable deal on this car. You can find the MSRP and dealer invoice price for the car that you want by visiting the following section of this site: Edmunds.com - New Vehicle Pricing. I haven't personally heard anything about frequent transmission problems with this car, but if there is a problem along these lines there is a good chance that it is being talked about in the following discussion: "Chrysler 300/300C".

I'd be happy to compare these two vehicles' lease programs, txcurtis. If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT-8 through Chrysler Financial right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00216 and 55%, respectively. Interestingly, the numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 should be a much less attractive .00318 and 51%, respectively.

Thanks Car_Man:
Received your info and appreciate all the help. I was wondering if you had the rate/residual for a 36 month lease with 12K miles per year.
I should have my re-purchase finished in the next week or so and will be off to another local dealer to see what we might be able to put together.
I did stop by my other local dealer and drove the 300C the other day. I was rather impressed with it. In fact I thought it drove a lot better than my M45. Much smoother and more comfortable.
If you thought the $3000.00 was unbelievable, they had a $10,000.00 dealer market adjustment on any of their SRT8 models. I just laughed at the salesmen.
Thanks again for your help.
Paul

You're welcome Paul. If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler 300C through Chrysler Financial right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00216 and 58%, respectively. When negotiating your deal on this car, keep in mind that DaimlerChrysler is providing a $1,000 bonus on '06 300s leased through Chrysler Financial this month. DaimlerChrysler is also providing some aggressive dealer cash on most models in February, so dealers should be anxious to strike a deal.

P.S. I got a good laugh about the $10,000 market adjustment on the SRT8 HA

Thought I would post my experience. Entered a dealership with knowledge gained from this site...thank you car_man! I was looking at the following vehicles:
-Saab 9-3 & 9-5 (I had been in Saabs since 1999)
-Infiniti G35 Sedan
-Lincoln LS
-300C
After much review, test driving, and negotiating, the best bang for the buck was the 300C in my estimation. I have had the car for 3 weeks and absolutely love everything about it. The only downside is that I was unsuccessful in getting the maintenance thrown into the lease(all Saab maintenance is included).
So here is the final:
-Able to utilize DCX EC#
-3 year / 15k miles per year
-$453/month with $1500 total at drive off, including taxes.
-300C has everything except nav system...previous experience with and novelty wears off very quickly.
Thank you Edmunds...far and away the best tool on the 'net!
