Replying to: Car_man (Aug 31, 2005 2:34 am) I leased a 03 cruiser on 5/17/03 & exp. in 07 with max of 46000 miles at the end of the lease. It was my first car purchase. Here is the brake down. gross cap reduction $18702.00 amount due at lease $4030.70/paid $1530.70 & 2500.00 rebate monthly payments $245.61 I have paid 39 payments of 48.I received from the dealer a letter that in Aug. 23 I can bring the car in & they pay 3 months of payment for a new lease. Would it be a good idea to do a purchase option that my agreement says for $7235.20 plus tax or fees plus processing fee of $150.00? Also can I negotiate the price and fees? Or should I wait for the lease to finsh and give the car back and make a new car purchase. Info for new lease Should I always put the least amount of money down & pay a higher monthly payment? Thanks Gio

Replying to: gio4 (Jul 13, 2006 5:27 pm) It is always in your best interest not to make a down payment when leasing. I say this because consumers who make down payments on leased vehicles rick losing them if their vehicles are totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum |

Hi, I'm looking at possibly leasing a 2007 PT Cruiser Limited Edition or 2007 PT Cruiser GT and would be very grateful for any help you can provide. Do you know the base rate money factor for either or both of these vehicles? JM |

Replying to: phys14 (Jun 14, 2007 11:47 am) When negotiating your lease on this vehicle, make sure to take advantage of the $1,500 lease cash and $500 bonus cash that are currently available on it. They will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your lease. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: Car_man (Jul 17, 2007 1:38 am) I have never leased before and was thinking about going with a PT Crusier, as their leases are seemingly affordable. I woud like to stay under $200 / month if at all possible. I am in the Los Angeles area and here is what I am being offered: $1000 down $215 / month including tax 10,500 miles / year -or- $220 / month incl tax 12,000 miles / year Residual for 12K miles is $7,131 (42%) Do you think that there is any way of getting a better deal? Again, I know nothing about this at all, never done it before, but I am ready to haggle with the dealer. Thanks so much! Rebecca

Replying to: rchilders (Aug 01, 2007 4:32 pm) I don't know what sort of monthly payment a PT Cruiser would have off of the top of my head. It will really depend upon how the model that you are interested in is equipped and how good a selling price you are able to negotiate on it. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Decide exactly which PT Cruiser you want and then look up its dealer invoice price here at Edmunds.com by visiting the following section of this site: New Vehicle Pricing. Once you know what the invoice price is for the exact vehicle that you want, subtract the $1,500 lease cash and $500 bonus cash ($2,000 total) that Chrysler is providing on it from that. Then add back a few hundred dollars for dealer profit (this low a price should be attainable in a competitive market like California) and you have your offer. Have the dealer use the price that you come up with as the capitalized cost for your lease. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |

Hey Car_man and/or kyfdx, Do you have any info on a PT Cruiser Limited, 15K miles, 36-39 months (residual, money factor) in Texas? While I don't personally care for these cars, my hubby is enamored with them and is interested in one. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Merry Christmas! ChiGirl

Replying to: chigirlintexas (Dec 23, 2007 8:49 pm) You would think that, with these vehicles (PT Cruisers) not moving very well (at least they aren't here), they would be willing to negotiate more to make a sale. Maybe we just encountered a bad dealership (this one, Huffhines in Plano, is definitely not recommended!), but we got much more of a deal and negotiating off MSRP from the Honda dealership, which was a surprise. I'll post my Honda deal in that forum and give a rating to the Honda dealership, David McDavid in Frisco, TX. Thanks, ChiGirl
