Looking to lease three T&C's in So California. Will consider '06 by nm_socal

Apologies for duplicate posting. It's beer over an hour since my posting, and the message has still not posted.
**************************************************
 
I work for a local company, and we are trying to negotiate the best deal on three T&C minivans. Our company allowance is $250 per month, and if the employee wants to pay for add'l options, they pay the rest from their pockets.
  
I'd thought it would be a slam-dunk, given that there's plenty of '06 inventory left over. But it seems Chrysler is just not motivated to move these minivans. They have even lowered the rebate from $7,500 to $4,500.
  
We are looking for two "base" touring packages, and one "spring edition" (touring plus DVD, leather seats, sunroof). We are trying to obtain the following terms:
  
$1,000 total drive-off
$250/mo (touring) or $300/mo (spring edition)
15,000 miles per year
24-27 months lease (ideal). Will consider 36 months
  
Is this possible? Please advise.
Thanks.

T and C Signature Series Best Lease? by catch22kev
Nov 19, 2006 (7:57 pm)

I am looking at a '07 T/C Sig Series and wondering what best lease options were.
MSRP is $33,635 and salesman said, they would move directly to Invoice price, as they had vehicles they needed to move...but does that apply to Leasing, too? They were pretty busy Saturday, and said they would draw up the numbers and call me, as they know I am a captive audience. We are leasing a Pilot, and though nice, need more space. It comes due in 2 weeks, and we are turning it back in. Odysssey is nice, but is too much money for me to buy. Only need somehting for 3 years and kids are out of school, and we can go back to smaller again. We are looking at 36 months and think we will need 15k miles/yr, as we will be on the road quite often for boy's sporting events.
 
We are looking at min down, and there is the $3500 rebate to use, too.

I'd be happy to work up a payment for you, steve115. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Touring with an MSRP of $28,820 and a selling price of $23,145 through Chrysler Financial right now for 24 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $323. I used a money factor of .00108 and a residual value of 57% to arrive at this payment.

Greetings mangin. Since you are new to the world of leasing, 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.
 
Dealers all want consumers to come into their showrooms to discuss vehicles rather than giving you quoted via e-mail or over the phone because they are much more likely to close deals with consumers who are actually at the dealer. Furthermore, if they give you price quotes via e-mail, you can shop them all over down with other dealers.
 
You should be able to get a leftover 2006 Pacifica for fairly close to dealer invoice right now. You can look up this model's invoice price by visiting the following section of this site: Edmunds.com - New Vehicle Pricing. You also should be able to subtract the $3,500 lease cash that is currently available on 5 passenger and $4,000 that is available on 6-passenger models and $1,500 bonus lease cash from this vehicle's price.
 
Dealers aren't going to want to give you much money for a conversion van with over 100,000 miles on it as a trade. You would probably be better off selling your van on your own. You should be able to get much more for it selling it privately that you'll get for it as a trade.

Hi nm_socal. I would be happy to give you an idea of what these vans will cost to lease. In order for me to do so I need you to provide me with their approximate MSRPs and selling prices. Once I have these numbers, I'll work up some payments for you using Chrysler Financial's current lease program.

Hi catch22kev. If the dealership that you are working with is willing to sell you this car at invoice, I don't see why they wouldn't lease you one at that price. Invoice is a good price for this model, as long as you get all of the cash incentives that are available on it deducted. I would be happy to estimate what this vehicle's lease payment should be for you if you provide me with its selling price.

Residual Value by keri2
Dec 14, 2006 (12:43 pm)
Reply
I noticed that Carman responded to post 54 that the current residual value on a T&C Touring was 57%. Where does he get that percentage? On another leasing calc site, I get the residual at 46%. This obviously makes quite a difference in the actual lease payments. I want a T&C Touring MSRP 29960 and an internet pricing by a dealership at $24,661 after rebates. Also there is a $4000 rebate plus owner loyality of $1000 and I heard a mailer went out for $1000. Is this in addition to these other rebates?

Hi keri2. The residual values that I post in this forum are the actual residuals that manufacturers' captive finance companies use to calculate vehicles' lease payments. The residual value that you saw on another lease calculation site is probably something that is published by a company called ALG. It is an independent company that publishes what it believes are vehicles' real residual values, without all of the artificial inflation that a lot of banks do. If you want to lease this van through Chrysler Financial the information that I am providing about it is right.
 
The owner loyalty cash and any direct mail offer that you have received from DaimlerChrysler can be combined with this vehicle's normal cash incentive.

Here you go, Andrew. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Touring with 12,000 miles per year are .00146 and 55%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00196 and 47%. When you are negotiating your lease on this van, make sure to take the $4,000 lease cash that is currently available on it into account. It will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your vehicle.
