#29 of 48 is it even possible? by rynpamn21 Mar 15, 2006 (11:46 pm)
Ok after getting a quote from car_man for a dodge magnum R/T, I have emailed several other dealers telling them what I want and have a 730 credit score, ZERO downpayment, 36-39 month lease, 12 miles a year. Of the 8 I emailed I have gotten 5 back saying they can't do it.   Cerritos Dodge called my back trying to get me into an SXT MSRP $27950 and current advertised price is 23995, used .00329 MF and 52% RV and came up with 388 a month with taxes for a 39 mo, 12 t miles a year lease. They were trying to stick me with $456 a month payments...Almost blew a gasket. Why would I get an SXT for 20 bucks less than what they quoted me for an R/T a week ago?! Anyway, anybody live in socal? Orange County? Or even LA county? AM willing to drive up to 100 miles just to get the deal that is being quoted here.
#30 of 48 Dodge Lease Quotes by arch1sf Mar 16, 2006 (11:35 am)
Rynpamn21, I think you will find that the Dodge Lease computer for quotes loads all fees, DMV, and taxes, (and even the first month lease payment) into the monthly cap cost. This means that for a $0 down lease, your driveoff is essentially $0. Perhaps Carman was assuming that fees, taxes, and first month lease payment are due at signing which typically total about $1.8k (which is more typical for other car leases)? If this is what Carman assumed, then his monthly would be lower than what Dodge would qoute you. Ask what your drive-off will be and this will tell you how they figured it. Goodluck, JS

Replying to: rynpamn21 (Mar 19, 2006 1:25 am) Hey rynpamn21. When I calculate lease payments for community members, I always say that they are "zero down, pre-tax payments." Zero down payment means zero capitalized cost reduction. Consumers still have to pay their vehicle's first month's payment, acquisition fee (which in Chrysler Financial's case is $700), security deposit (which in Chrysler Financial's case is $0), and any required state taxes or fees at signing. It is impossible for me to say whether these items were included in the lease payment that you were quoted from the dealer you spoke with though.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#33 of 48 New Magnum lease question by andre1 May 12, 2006 (9:48 am)
Does anyone know the following information regarding leasing a new 2005 or 2006 Magnum R/T RWD? My local dealers have a number of 2005 and 2006 on the lot and I was wondering if Chrysler is providing any subsidized leases.    Residual and money factor for the following:    24 month for 12K and 15K miles per year 36 month for 12K and 15K miles per year Replies to this message: Car_man (May 22, 2006 2:55 am)

Replying to: andre1 (May 12, 2006 9:48 am) Here you go, andre1. If you were to lease a 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T 2WD through Chrysler Financial right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00277 and 54%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00252 and 49%. If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, its 24 month residual value would be 1% higher and its 36 month residual value would be 2% higher. I don't believe that Chrysler Financial is offering leases on 2005 models any longer. You may be able to find an independent bank to lease one through, but you would be best off financing or paying cash for a leftover 2005 model. When negotiating your lease on the '06 Magnum, make sure to take the $1,000 Chrysler Financial bonus cash and $500 dealer cash that are currently available on it into account. They will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#35 of 48 any way to get this info? by qbrozen Mar 16, 2007 (7:49 am)
Dealer still has an '06 RT (RWD) sitting on his lot. Beautiful car! Anyway, he made the comment that there is big rebates on it to get rid of it.   If it were cheap enough, I might be interested in a 24-month lease. Are MF and residuals still available on the '06? If so, I'd appreciate it if someone could provide them.   I'd also like to know what rebates to expect. Carsdirect still shows '06s on their site for $4k under invoice. Is that correct? Or is there more money to be had?   Thanks! Replies to this message: Car_man (Apr 12, 2007 3:24 am) qbrozen (Apr 12, 2007 8:15 am)

Replying to: qbrozen (Mar 16, 2007 7:49 am) Hey qbrozen. One can still lease a 2006 model through Chrysler Financial, but its lease program for leftover '06 models is pretty bad right now. It is no longer providing lease money factor support on them, so anyone who leases one through it has to use its standard lease money factors. Furthermore, it is so late in the model year that the residual values have fallen to very low levels. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2006 Dodge Magnum RT with 15,000 miles per year are .00332 and 36%, respectively.   If I was in the market for an '06 Dodge Magnum, I personally would take advantage of the special financing program and finance it at 0% for 6 years or use the $4,000 customer cash that is available on it to negotiate a very low selling price and finance it through an independent bank.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum Replies to this message: qbrozen (Apr 12, 2007 8:15 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Apr 12, 2007 3:24 am) i gave up on the idea... but 36%!!!! after 2 years???!!! OMG! OK, ok, so its basically 3 years since it is so late already ... or 3.5 years. But still, how great would it be to get a 30k mile Magnum RT for a third of its original price. That's like $10k! Maybe $12k-$13k retail. I just don't see that happening. I'd LOVE for it to happen so I can get one real cheap ... but it won't.
#38 of 48 Residual on Upcoming Lease End by hardhawk Apr 12, 2007 (2:08 pm)
Car Man:   I leased a 2005 Magnum RT back in October of 2004 for 3 years, 15,000 miles per year. It looks like now the residuals on this car are in the toilet. My question to you is "How do I get Chrysler Financial to reduce the end of lease sale price if I want to buy the car?" The lease residual in my lease is about 52%. I might want to buy the car off lease if I can get them to sell it below the lease residual value. Any comments and advice would be greatly appreciated. I love the car.
