Here's the research that you're looking for, mrresearch. Through January 8th, Land Rover Capital Group's buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 27 month lease of a 2006 Land Rover LR3 V8 SE 7 passenger with 12,000 miles per year are .00160 and 67%, respectively. I have not seen this truck's 30 month numbers, but the numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00195 and 55%. This is Land Rover's "special lease program" for this model.

You're very welcome, mac125. The first thing that I notice about this deal is that you are using your trade to make a $5,000 capitalized cost reduction on your lease. There's nothing wrong with trading your current vehicle in when you lease a new one, in fact in some states there are tax advantages to doing so, however it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease. I always advise consumers against making down payments on leased vehicles because if their leased car or truck is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered their down payment essentially disappears.
 
As far as the rest of this lease goes, the selling price that you were quoted for this truck looks good to me. The money factor that was used to calculate this truck's monthly payment is right in line with Land Rover Capital Group's buy rate for this model as well. If you like the truck, I personally don't see any reason not to pull the trigger on this deal.

Greetings maytal. Let me begin by saying that I personally always advise consumers against making large down payments on leased vehicles. Those who do risk losing them if their car or truck is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Consumers can and should lease any vehicle that they are interested in without making any sort of capitalized cost reduction. All you will have to pay at lease signing are your vehicle's first month's payment, a security deposit that's equivalent to its payment rounded up to the nearest $50 increment, Land Rover Capital Group's $595 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees.
 
You never mentioned the exact selling price that this lease is based upon. This is a very important number for you to know. Without it, you don't know exactly how much money the dealer is charging you for this truck. If it is in the $43,000 to $44,000 range that you mentioned this is a good deal. Just make sure that the dealer you are working with uses Land Rover Capital Group's buy rate lease money factor of .00160 (through January 8th) to calculate your truck's monthly payment and you're in business.

Hi jdstory. Land Rover is offering either a special lease money factor or the dealer cash that you mentioned on the 2006 LR3 V8 SE right now. Unfortunately, these two incentives cannot be combined. That is why the money factor that you were quoted is so much higher than Land Rover Capital Group's current buy rate of .00160 for a 30 month lease of this truck. Whichever program you choose, make sure to negotiate a dealer discount on this truck. It appears as though the only discount that is being given on the sample lease that you posted is the $6,000 dealer cash. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing. This truck has at least a $4,000 gap between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price. Given how late we are in the model year, you should not have any trouble negotiating a large chunk of that off of this truck's price. Without any additional dealer discount, you are paying too much for this truck.

Won't my GAP insurance cover the down payment/cap reduction from my trade in?

Cutting to the chase, I Leased a new 2006 LR3 MSRP of $49,700, with $2,500 down for $499.00 + tax for 30 months, 10,500 miles per year?
Thank you for your response.

#259 of 569 Got my (wife's) LR3 by bgsntth

Jan 04, 2007 (6:07 pm)

I got the floor model with almost every dealer-installed option available (DVD system with game port, Running Boards, Brush and taillight guards, crossbars and ski rack, etc.), so my deal was a little screwy. Nevertheless, the Residual value on LRNA's special 30month/10.5K is 68% and the money factor works out to 3._%. Combined with the $1500 LRNA certificate, the deal works out to $548.55 per month plus tax and $0 drive-off. I paid $2k drive-off for all of the dealer-installed paraphenalia, which is not residualized. The combo deal ends on 1/8, but the $1500 certificate is good through the end of February.
 
So, if you are on the fence-move! Some dealers are quoting this deal for base LR3s with no options, but LRNA specifically states it is for those with Rear-Seat, Cold, Lighting, and Bluetooth,/Sirius. So beware.

Hello All
How does the $1,500 certificate works. I got my wife the LR3 also and they dealer said that the $1,500 certiface only owrked if you got trug a regular lease and not the Land Rover bank lease. Please let me knoe more about it.
My deal 2006 LR3 SE V8 (60 miles only)
Fully load everything except the kitchen sink!!! (Rear-Seats, cold, xenon lighting, blue tooth etc)(no dvd)
MSRP=$55,620
Dealer rebate = $5,000
Land Rove Rebate = $6,000
Sub total = 44,620
Negotiate LR3 at = $46,000 final price (about $1,380 for dealer)

Residual Value = 67% (it seem kind of high I was hoping 60%)

Two minor items that I'm going in for repair. The screen on the middle sunroof does not lock and the passenger side seat at the base of the left handle next to the head rest the leather of the seat is off the base of the handle. They said they are simple repair issues.
Color is Red with Tan interiors (it will be hard to keep it clean . I want it balck interiors).
By the way there were only 2 left and there were another couple waiting in line if I did not taken the Red one since they want it. I belive I got a decent deal and I liked the car.
Hope this help

#261 of 569 2006 LR3 V8 SE by jsandova

Jan 07, 2007 (5:57 pm)

Hi all. 1/6/07 I went to CO Springs dealership and looked at leasing a loaded new java black V8 SE '06, 12,500 mi/yr for 30mo. MSRP $54,300 and trade a F150 supercrew lariat (trade $24,500, owe $28,400). Money factor 0.0016, residual 67% and $805/mo pymt after $4000 down. Dealer did not want to come down from MSRP ON A 2006, could this be because I'm a physician? I said I would think about it and let them know 1/8/07, which is the day the special program ends. Can someone offer some advice?

Hello
The $6,000 rebate is an Land Rover discount directly to the dealer base from the invoice price. Therefore the Dealer discount between the MSRP and the invoice is the one in question. I believe is just plain market forces (supply and demand) since everyone is looking for these LR3's due to the great discounts. You will have to negotiate at this time. Also it could be that if you are trading a vehicle you are not getting the $6,000 discount from LR Credit. When I was in they quote $52,000 for the SUV if I want it the low Money factor (pay $46,000). Therefore If you can sell the Lariat on your own that will be the best deal with all discounts. You will be in abetter situation.
Hope this help
