#347 of 598 Base C300 w. auto Lease by jas121 Aug 20, 2008 (7:44 pm)
First off, thanks to everyone. The info I've received from this board makes the dealer negotiation so much better.   I am looking to lease a 09 C300 base model .. only addition is automatic trans. The sticker is around 33k. I am negotiation a selling price of 29895 for a 24mo lease w/ 12k mi/yr. Because I am upside down in my trade-in I will be putting down $750 cap cost reduction (1250 going to pay off my trade ). Trying to get a payment around 450/mo after tax (6.5%).   The dealer said he was close .... was wondering if this seems do-able or is the dealer just trying to get me to come back. Additionally was wondering if the 24mo lease is in fact the best deal. Thanks!! Replies to this message: Twiga83 (Dec 16, 2008 5:34 pm)
#348 of 598 No buying after lease period ends by shyamy Aug 21, 2008 (10:00 am)
Hi guys, Am a total newbie here and trying to absorb all the lease jargon. Had a quick question - the residual value seems to be a hot topic but if I dont intend to buy the car after the lease period ends, do I even need to worry about it? does it have any other implication?   Apologise if I'm repeating this question. Appreciate any responses. thanks! Replies to this message: soccerandlost (Sep 04, 2008 1:38 pm) gforce11 (Sep 13, 2008 4:41 pm)

Replying to: shyamy (Aug 21, 2008 10:00 am) Yes, Shyamy. It has a very significant consequence. Assuming the same money factor (ie, interest payment), the higher the residual value, the lower your payment. The reason being that you are essentially financing the depreciation in the value of the car. So the less depreciation, the better your deal.

Replying to: shyamy (Aug 21, 2008 10:00 am) As soccerandlost states, you finance the depreciation. So you need to focus on getting the lowest sale price and find a car with the highest residual value for the term you wish to lease. That will ensure your payments are lower than those who don't bother to negotiate the sale price and/or find a car with high residual value.   G
#351 of 598 Leasing Mercedes C300 question by kyisha17 Sep 21, 2008 (5:15 pm)
I currently own an 07 Camry. I am upside down about 2000 -2500. I want to lease an 08 or an 09 base model automatic C300, approximate price is 33,000. I am hoping to get my payment UNDER 500. Do you think that is possible. I went to a dealer today and he said he'd try, that it might work. I just want to know if I'm even in the right ball park. Please help. Thank you.

Replying to: davidm123 (Sep 27, 2008 8:57 pm) To me, it looks like an excellent deal. I live in NJ and was offered 3500 down and $459 per month for a C300 sport with automatic. Which state are you in? Replies to this message: eights38 (Sep 28, 2008 3:19 pm) ab219 (Sep 28, 2008 5:46 pm) alwaysarookie (Oct 23, 2008 8:49 am)

Replying to: davidm123 (Sep 27, 2008 8:57 pm) I could probably extrapolate to some ballpark degree, but you really need to know your cap cost, money factor, and residual rate to determine if it's a "good deal".
