Any recommendations on dealers in Northern NJ? I don't have any good deals as of today. The best deal so far uses 38% residual value (36 months lease), which is not good % according to the posts here. Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Hey CarMan - you're really the best for answering all these questions!
 
Can you answer one for me? I'm looking at a Town & Country Limited for 15k miles, 36 months in the Philadelphia area. What kind of money factor and residual should I be expecting?
 
Thanks!

My dealer gave me a quote of 27 months, 54% residual, and a .00148 Money factor with a payment of $503 on a Town & Country Limited with an MSRP of 38500, with a cap cost of 31194. He said payments on 36 month are actually higher, at $527. How does that sound?

This site has been helpful, so I wanted to post what I have been offered in the Twin Cities (MN) for others' benefit as well as ask a question:
 
1. 2006 T&C Touring, no extra options
2. 27 Months
3. 12,000 miles per annum
4. 0 out of pocket
5. $317 per month
 
I think it is a decent deal because 2 of the seven dealers who had been trying to win the deal both dropped out when they heard that offer and told me to take it.
 
My question is: Can I/Should I negotiate the end of lease purchase price before I sign? I believe they base that price off of the MSRP, but the price I have negotiated is thousands less.
 
Thank you

Thanks fredg5. It's definitely very time consuming . If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country Limited through DaimlerChrysler Financial right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00222 and 45%, respectively. When negotiaging your lease on this car, make sure to take the total of $4,500 in cash incentives that are available on leases of it right now into account.

#30 of 383 2006 Town & Country Spring Special Edition Lease Question by woodhout

Apr 29, 2006 (8:59 pm)

Car_man,
 
Can you please verify a lease payment, residual, and money factor for me? I used the Lease Calculator here at Edmunds.com and came up with a payment different from my dealer's, using the same numbers, by about $30/month (Dealer = 399/month - Mine = 358). The only thing that I did that maybe I shouldn't have was leave the "title, registration, other costs" blank as I will take care of title and registration at the DMV myself and the dealer said there were no other fees other than what I have below. I appreciate your assisstance:
 
MSRP: 33965
Selling Price: 30178
Rebate: 4500
State Tax: 6%
Term: 27 months
Money Factor: 0.00221
Miles: 12K/year
Acquistion Fee: 500
Security: 0
 
Also, I see in posting #27 that the money factor was 0.00148. Do you know if that's still being offered?
 
Thank You

I had heard there were great lease incentives for 27 months on the Touring model with Leather and DVD. Does anyone have the particulars for May? Tks.

I'd be happy to help you out, woodhout. I am not sure, but I believe that the Town & Country Spring Edition has the same lease program as the Ttouring model. If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country touring 2WD through Chrysler Financial right now for 30 months (I have not seen its 27 month lease program) with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00175 and 53%, respectively. Using these numbers, an MSRP of $33,965, and a selling price of $25,678(#30,178 - $4,500), I estimate that this van should have a zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $333.

Hi xogrady. I haven't seen this van's 27 month lease program, but I have seen its 30 month program which should be fairly similar. If you were to lease a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country Touring 2WD through Chrysler Financial right now for 30 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00175 and 51%, respectively. when negotiating your lease on this van, make sure to take the $4,000 lease cash and $500 dealer cash that are currently available on it into account. These incentives will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.
