#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?

Replying to: apoptotic (May 23, 2006 3:24 pm) Hi apoptotic. 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 this car's selling price is.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: payday11 (May 26, 2006 6:20 am) Hello payday11. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor for a 39 month lease of a 2006 Chrysler 300C is .00226. It does appear as though the dealer you are working with is marking this car's money factor up. Make sure to insist that they use the .00226 factor to calculate your car's lease payment.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#78 of 231 Lease Rates for 2006 300C by andre1 Jun 12, 2006 (8:42 am)
Car_Man,   On Edmunds.com, the 300C is listed as having a lease special through Chrysler. Before I go to the dealer to inquire, can you give me the residual and money factor for the 2006 300C for the following. This will allow me to ensure the dealer is using the correct rates. Also, does the $1000 rebate still apply if I use Chrysler to finance?   15,000 miles for 24 and 36 months 12,000 miles for 24 and 36 months   Thanks!

Replying to: minarets1 (Jun 13, 2006 11:52 am) HORRIBLE!   Why on earth would you want to rent a car for over 5 years? Most smart shoppers tell you to not even finance a car for that long, and you want to rent one at that pace?   What happens when it breaks while out of warranty? Now you are paying to fix a car that you are renting.   And putting $5k down? What happens if it gets totalled 2 months from now? You are out $5k and have no car.   Big down payments should be reserved for financing, not leasing. Leases should be kept to 36 months or less, 48 if you REALLY must. But definitely not out of warranty.   If you are simply shopping payment and need a $300 car, then the 300C is too much car for you to afford. Find something more in line with your budget.   I apologize for the bluntness, but I'm just trying to help you avoid a mistake.
