Thanks for the reply. I think the Chrysler Financial leases have gap insurance, but in any case it appears 0 down and no acquisition fee is the way to go on leases. That way if the vehicle is totalled, the potential loss is lower.

Leasing help on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan by brum

Hi, this is my first post so please bear with me. We are looking at a 39 month lease, zero down, 12k or 15k per miles per year. It is an SXT with 3.8 and MSRP of $27,830. Residual of $12,245 and $11,688 resp. I was quoted a monthly lease payment of $364 and $378. This appears to be high to me, what should I expect as a good rate with today's rebates, etc?

well, I bought a 06 DGC SXT, but I did pay attention to leasing option, too.
During memorial day, I saw one of my local dealer has a leasing offer like $249 a month for 27 month with zero down. I think that is a pretty good offer. $364 for 39 months? definitely too high!

Welcome brum. If you were to lease a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT through Chrysler Financial right now for 39 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00116 and 43%, respectively. The money factor for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be the same, but the residual value would be 2% higher. When negotiating your lease on this van, make sure to take the $4,000 lease cash that is currently available on it into account. DaimlerChrysler also has loyalty incentives on it for returning customers.

Thanks for the info Car_man. I have had several discussions with a dealer and this is what I have so far...MSRP $28,000, selling price $21,455. 12K miles $298 for 27 or 39 months and 15K miles for 310 27 or 313 39 months. This is with $4000 in rebate and $750 as a current Dodge owner. I note in your post #6 to Deejay2099 you calculate the monthly 241 so the figures I have still appear high. I am having trouble relating the buy rate lease factor and residual % to the monthly payment. Should I expect to be able to attain a monthly payment of $240-250 zero down as calculated for Deejay? Help!

Dodge Caravan Base Lease by kfranci2

Hi Car_man,
 
I am looking to lease a bare-bones Dodge Caravan with a list price of 20,720. I plan to offer a cap cost of $14,300. I would like to lease for 24, 27, or 36 months. I see leases advertised with 10,500 miles, which would suffice for my needs. Could you please let me know the 0 down payment, MF, and residual for the different time periods? Thank you - K

Hello Car-man (and anyone else who can help!). We are looking at a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravaan, MSRP of $31,500 (lots of nice toys on it). We would trade in our 2002 Chrsyler T&C (good condition, has a DVD). They are quoting us $429 per month for a 39 month lease with 18000 miles per year. Does this seem like a good deal? We live in Pittburgh Pa.

Hi kfranci2. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a base short wheel base 2006 Dodge Caravan SE with 10,500 miles per year are an amazingly low .00001 and 43%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00027 and 36%. When negotiating your lease on this van, make sure to take the $3,500 lease cash that is currently available on it into account. If the specific unit that you are considering has been on the dealer's lot since April 1st or earlier, there is an additional $1,000 cash incentive on it.
 
Using the aforementioned lease program, an MSRP of $20,720, and a selling price of $14,300, I estimate that this van's 24 month zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $225. The payment for an otherwise identical 36 month lease should be around $196.
