#66 of 231 Re: 300C AWD money factor & residual [fredg5] by Car_man HOST Apr 09, 2006 (7:35 am)
Replying to: fredg5 (Apr 07, 2006 6:27 am) Hi fredg5. A base 2006 Chrysler 300C AWD has a spread of around $2,600 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices. You are being given a discount of around $2,300 on the car that you are considering. This looks like a great price at first, but one has to take the $1,000 bonus that DaimlerChrysler is providing on leases of this car through Chrysler Financial into account. In reality, this cash makes your car's price more than $1,000 over dealer invoice, which is decent but not great. Also, Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of an '06 Chrysler 300C AWD is only .00219. The dealer that you are working with may be trying to mark this car's money factor up a little bit to add some additional back-end profit to your deal.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Carman, Can you please provide me with the April money factor and residual for the 300C 2wd? From looking at this forum discussion, it doesn't seem like many people lease this car. Why is that? Replies to this message: Car_man (Apr 20, 2006 8:41 am)

Replying to: sofakingcool (Apr 18, 2006 2:41 pm) Here you go. This car's lease program varies depending upon how long you lease it for and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler 300C 2WD through DaimlerChrysler Financial right now for 36 months with 15k miles/year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00219 and 56%, respectively. It's difficult to say why so few people lease this car. It could be that it's lease program isn't that great. It's not bad, but I bet if you compared it to the programs of some similarly priced cars you might find that it is not as attractive.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums   P.S. When negotiating your lease on this car, don't forget to take the $1,000 bonus for deals through Chrysler Financial into account.
#69 of 231 Lease 2006 300c AWD by jayps Apr 21, 2006 (8:07 am)
Hi Car_man, I've read through the board and have learned a great deal from your comments but am also hoping you will confirm what I think I already know.   I was at our Chrysler dealer here in CT this morning looking at a 300C. First let me say I really like the car. I had a 300M a few years back and although I didn't like the new 300 at first, it has grown on me.   In any case, the lease deal quoted to me is as follows: This is for a 300C AWD. MSRP came to 37,730, Sale price 35,730 (the sale price includes the current Chrysler incentive of 1000 plus another 1000 off from the dealer. For a 36 mos lease, 15000 mi/yr, and zero down, they quoted 627/mo.   What do you think? How does this stack up?   Many thanks in advance!
#70 of 231 Incentives changing? by thesonx Apr 27, 2006 (9:28 pm)
I am way over my miles on my Acura TL with 3 payments left. I was trying to get someone to eat my final payments if I leased a new car from them. My plan has not worked so far. I am looking at an 06 TL or a 300C. My family has a relationship with a Chrysler dealership and thought I could get a good deal on the 300. I was quoted around $600 a month/39 and 15,000 with $2000 out of pocket. I told the guy I would probably just get the Acura. He called me today and told me that the rebate on the 300 will soon be changing from $1000 to $3500 soon and that will drastically lower the payments. Has anyone heard about the incentives changing? or is the salesman just trying to stall me from buying the other car? Thanks.
#71 of 231 So many questions, so little time by delagarza May 14, 2006 (9:43 pm)
Hi Carman: I just read on this website that the 5.7 Hemi 300C has a lease special going on right now at $399 per mo, which sounds great except that the offer is for a "plain" 300C, and I kinda have my heart set on the Hertiage edition. Can I still apply the same residual and money factor for the Hertiage edition as for the base 300C under this new factory offer? And if so, how much more should I expect to pay for this upgrade? I looked at Chrysler's website and its didn't say anything other than there is $1000 cashback. And, the last poster on this blog said the rebate on the 300 is going up. Any truth to that? Lastly, my current car lease isn't due to end for another 6 months, and I have no problem paying to get out early, but should I roll those 6 mos payment into my new lease? Thanks for your help.

Replying to: delagarza (May 14, 2006 9:43 pm) Hi delagarza. I believe that the Chrysler 300C Heritage Edition has the exact same lease program available on it as the base 300C does. The exact impact that this package will have on your car's lease payment will depend upon its MSRP and how much you pay for it. If you provide me with the full MSRP and an approximate selling price for the exact 300 that you want, as you want it equipped, I would be happy to estimate what its lease payment should be for you. DaimlerChrysler is currently providing a $1,000 cash incentive on 2006 Chrysler 300 models that are financed or leased through Chrysler Financial. It also is providing $500 dealer cash on all 2006 models right now. Make sure to take both of these incentives into account when making your offer. These incentives are currently scheduled to run through July 5th, so I don't anticipate any enhancements to the 300's incentives before then. Even after that date, I would be fairly surprised if the incentives on it went up. DaimlerChrysler's offers on the 300 have been consistently at this level for a while now. Of course, it is difficult to predict exactly what automakers will do with their future incentives. You can roll out six remaining lease payments into the capitalized cost of your new lease if you want to, but if you do keep in mind that not only will you be wasting money by paying to get out of your current lease early, but you will have to pay interest on that money as well.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#73 of 231 lease, 300c 2WD by apoptotic May 23, 2006 (3:24 pm)
I currently have an offer from a local dealer for a lease of a Brilliant Black Chrysler 300c. With an MSRP of $34,300 and a 39 month lease for $400.70+TAX/month. The down side is they want $2,000 down utilizing the $1,000 incentive through Chrysler. Is this a fair deal? Replies to this message: Car_man (Jun 11, 2006 7:04 am)
#74 of 231 money factor by payday11 May 26, 2006 (6:20 am)
I'm looking at a 300C with an MSRP of $36,475 and a sale price of $33806. Money factor being quoted is .0266. For a 39 month lease, with 21K miles per year, they're quoting $609. I saw in an above post that Chrysler's money rate was currently .00219. How much more is the dealer making on the back end here?
