Replying to: jim53 (Jan 24, 2008 6:12 am) They definitely packed in some reserve on your rate. The buy rate money factor for January is .00145 (3.48%) on terms ranging from 24-48 months. Looks like they hit you for about 1/2% markup (in apr terms). Either way, the rate is still very low. As for why your payments don't match, they most-likely capped the lease acquisition fee into your payments. MBC's acquisition fee is $795. Don't be surprised if they marked it up $200 or $300 when figuring your payments. Refuse to pay the mark-up on this fee. Overall, the deal looks decent (especially for a $94k vehicle). It does appear that they're trying to make a little money, but they are not raking you over the coals. I believe there is some money left on the table though, but for a non high volume car, the deal looks decent.

Replying to: jim53 (Jan 25, 2008 9:07 am) BMW is actually supporting the 528i with very aggressive lease rates. The 2008 BMW 528i sedan has a residual of 76% (24 months with 10,000 miles per year) and a 0.00225 money factor (5.4% interest rate). If you need any more help, please feel free to email me or reply. |

Hello Carman, I plan on helping my father lease a MB E350 4-matic vehicle in Syracuse,NY. His 2007 Infiniti M35x was totaled in an accident yesterday and that was a leased vehicle. Quick question since his vehicle was totaled does that get him out of his leased contract with Infiniti? Carman, do you know the January Money Factor for a Mercedes E-350 4matic for 24/36 months with 12k/year. And when you lease a car in New York do you pay tax ahead of time on the entire vehicle similar to Illinois, or just on the monthly payment. Thank you in advance for your help. |

Replying to: nacho2 (Jan 27, 2008 9:15 am) I'm no expert, but my layman's understanding of how a lease works is that if the car is totaled or stolen, the lessee is still responsible for the lease payments. However, again, as I understand it, GAP insurance is designed to cover this problem. GAP insurance may be mandatory in NYS; I would sit down and check over the lease contract on the Infiniti to see if it includes GAP. As to tax, my understanding based on lease quotes I've had in the past is that the tax can be paid as part of the monthly payment, but again, that's only my understanding. Good luck.

Replying to: nacho2 (Jan 27, 2008 9:15 am) 24 Month – Residual 63% of MSRP – .00115 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 53% of MSRP – .00170 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 45% of MSRP – .00170 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 41% of MSRP – .00355 Base Rate 2008 Mercedes E350 Sport 4matic Sedan 24 Month – Residual 63% of MSRP – .00115 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 53% of MSRP – .00170 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 45% of MSRP – .00170 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 41% of MSRP – .00355 Base Rate * Rates and residuals are based on 12k annual miles. Add 1% to residual for 10k miles, Subtract 2% from residual for 15k miles. In regards to your father's Infiniti. If the vehicle was leased through Infiniti Financial Services, it should've included the GAP coverage. If the lease was through a secondary lender, hopefully he purchased a GAP policy to cover the entire payoff. This is the first thing you need to find out. As for the sales tax in NY, you are only taxed on the depreciation and taxes can be rolled into the monthly payments. In Illinois, you are taxed on the entire cap cost, and taxes are typically due upfront. |
