#6 of 11 Re: 2007 PT Cruiser Money Factor? [Car_man] by rchilders Aug 01, 2007 (4:32 pm)
Replying to: Car_man (Jul 17, 2007 1:38 am) Hey Car_Man -   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 Replies to this message: Car_man (Aug 28, 2007 1:28 am) my2centsworth (Dec 10, 2007 1:16 am)

Replying to: rchilders (Aug 01, 2007 4:32 pm) Welcome Rebecca. Since you have never leased before, 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.   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

Replying to: rchilders (Aug 01, 2007 4:32 pm) As far as I know, if you repair your leased vehicle and they put the aftermarket parts on it, it is technically in not the same condition when your lease is up. This might cost you your downpayment.
#9 of 11 Request for PT Cruiser Lease Info by chigirlintexas Dec 23, 2007 (8:49 pm)
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 Replies to this message: chigirlintexas (Dec 30, 2007 11:07 am) Car_man (Jan 16, 2008 2:15 am)

Replying to: chigirlintexas (Dec 23, 2007 8:49 pm) Never mind on this request, Car_man. After making a futile attempt with the dealership to get a decent deal on this car, we went to the Honda dealership and leased a Civic Si sedanl   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 Replies to this message: Car_man (Jan 16, 2008 2:15 am)

Replying to: chigirlintexas (Dec 30, 2007 11:07 am) Hey ChiGirl. Good choice in vehicles. I like the Civic Si. It definitely will be a lot more fin to drive around in than the PT Cruiser would have been, Thanks for offering to share the details of your deal and rate the dealership. Enjoy your new ride !   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
