Welcome robinakirk. $4,000 is too much money to pay at lease signing. I always advise consumers not to make capitalized cost reductions on leased vehicles. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You would be better off only paying your truck's first month's payment and Land Rover's $595 acquisition fee at lease signing.
 
I would be happy to give you a detailed analysis of this deal, but you never mentioned this truck's selling price or MSRP. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing what this vehicle's selling price is in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. Let me know what these numbers are and I'll tell you what I think.

Hi jjf030. Your dealer probably does not have the ability to negotiate your truck's purchase option price. Its end of term price is between you and Land Rover Capital. Give them a call and try negotiating with them. If your initial contact at your bank is not willing to lower your vehicle's price, you may have better luck if you work your way up the ladder to a manager. There is a good chance that they will not lower your vehicle's price, more often than not they won't, but you don't have anything to lose by asking.

Hi ssp1. In order to determine whether you should purchase your LR3 at the end of your lease, you need to compare its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. Even though its purchase option price is stated on your lease contract, you should place a call directly to Land Rover Capital (there's no need to involve any dealer) that you are leasing it through just to make sure that you have the correct figure. When you do so, it never hurts to try to haggle with them. Some banks will negotiate the lease-end purchase prices of vehicles. If your initial contact at your bank is not willing to lower your vehicle's purchase price, you may have better luck if you work your way up the ladder to a manager. There is a good chance that they will not lower your vehicle's price, more often than not they will not, but you don't have anything to lose by asking.
 
As I said earlier, once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values".
 
If your truck's purchase price is less than or in line with its current real world value then you may want to consider buying it. If not, just walk away and lease or purchase a new vehicle.

THanks - i never saw this reply. (My question was whther to buy at the end of the lease and you mentioned comparing market prices etc) Myfollow up question is - if the dealer has to turn around and sell my car at market, and certify it, why wouldnt they do that for me the current owner (the lease end price is like 40K and thats about 2k over market for a certified used LR3 comparably equipped). Doesnt it make sense to just sell the car right away instead of trying to take it back and then have the cost of holding it and selling it for the market price anyway?

Current Lease Rates by bigjoelr3

Can anyone tell me the current lease rates for HSE and SE LR3's. I'm interested in the money factor and residual percentages. I have 3 months to go on my 2006 LR3 SE lease which was a 24 month w/ 15,000. Back then I put nothing other than the minimum down and pay $617/mo for a fully loaded SE with all the bells and whistles.
 
I am looking for the same lease, unless there is a better rate on a 30 or 36 month lease.
 
Looking at some of these deals people are getting it looks like the residuals are now a lot worse. My lease was based on a 73% residual I believe.
 
Anyone gotten a good deal on a lease in the So. Cal. area?

End of lease LR3 by jayrod422

Does any have any tips regarding the end of lease for a LR3?
 
I am due for a end of lease soon, love the car, and am turned off at the price when comparable models with the same mileage are on ebay around 3-5K cheaper than my buy out price...
 
Can you negotiate the buy out price and if so has anyone had any success doing so?

I just went through the same situation with Land Rover Capital, my lease was up on my 06 LR3 HSE and I wanted to buy the vehicle, but the residual was about $5k more than it was worth. They told me on several occasions they will NOT negotiate the residual, the dealer verified this also.
 
I turned the vehicle in with low miles. I leased an 08 LR3 HSE that was a service loaner and got a really good deal and big discount off the MSRP. The money factor and payment is less than my 06.
 
Good Luck!
