"   I'm going to guess "sales technique"--he's hoping you'll just sigh and sign the lease deal.   I also agree about illinois. I'd just buy here...
#140 of 177 Hopefully leasing a Boxster in So Cal in 2007. by fredrickk Apr 03, 2007 (3:12 pm)
Hello, all. I'm considering of leasing a regular Boxster later this year. I configured one, through Carsdirect.com, and the car comes to about $50k even (Carsdirect price). The options I'm interested are as follows:   Preferred Package w/ Tiptronic Xenon Headlight package 18-inch Boxster S wheels   I have a somewhat decent down payment (around $6k). I'm in So Cal. Anyone leased one at around that price range? What kind of payments should I expect? Also, how's the maintainence? Thank you all very much for the information.

Replying to: joechicago7 (Mar 19, 2007 2:25 pm) No problem joechicago7. It doesn't matter what the salesperson that you are working with understands. Just negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the car that you are interested in. Then have the dealer calculate its monthly payment using Porsche Credit's buy rate lease money factor. If the salesperson that you are working with doesn't understand what that is, ask for a salesperson or manager who does. You're right about Illinois having terrible sales tax rules for leased vehicles. You may want to compare the payment that you are quoted on a lease to the payment for a balloon note or a conventional finance contract.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: fredrickk (Apr 03, 2007 3:12 pm) Hi fredrickk. In your post you mentioned that you have $6,000 to use as a down payment for your lease. It really is not in your best interest to make a large down payment when leasing. Consumers who make large capitalized cost reductions on leased vehicles risk losing them it their car or truck is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. All you have to pay at lease signing are your car's monthly payment, a security deposit equivalent to its payment rounded up to the nearest $50 increment, Porsche Credit's $745 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees.   I would be happy to use Porsche Credit's current lease program to estimate what your monthly payment would be on the Boxster that you are interested in right now, but in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with both this its MSRP and its approximate selling price.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
#143 of 177 2007 Boxster lease in LA by topcat3 Jun 09, 2007 (11:29 pm)
Looking to lease a 2007 Boxster through my business. Spoke to a dealer referred by costco. Here are the numbers, please let me know if they make sense.    Metallic color  Standard Leather interior  Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package  18" Boxster S Wheel  Preferred Package w/Tip   price quoted 51,365.00 lease factor .246 through US bank ($0.18/extra mile) 36 month, 25,000 miles/year 0 down, 0 drive off (all fees rolled into lease) monthly payments $1,203.14   Residual value 47% of MSRP - extra miles = $20,155   *I'm leasing through my business. 80% of lease payments are tax deductible. This is why I'm forcing depreciation with the 25K miles/year.   Can you please let me know if this is a good deal? The $51,365 price seems high to me, but how much does it matter over a 3 year lease? Do the lease numbers add up?      Thanks,   TC Replies to this message: Car_man (Jun 28, 2007 3:06 am)
#144 of 177 Porsche Boxter by ron11612002 Jun 25, 2007 (2:58 am)
hello Im not sure what car I want to Buy. But im looking at the Z4 coupe BMW and the porsche boxter. I went to the porsche website and the lease seems way too high. Plus I dont know about the service at porsche. My mom owned a bmw and the service was covered for a year. If anyone can tell me how much the lease would cost on a boxter for 3 years. If its in the 400 range, Im good but anything higher is a no go. Plus My parents are well off but no way rich.   Thanks Ron Replies to this message: Car_man (Jun 28, 2007 3:27 am)

Replying to: topcat3 (Jun 09, 2007 11:29 pm) Hi topcat3. You were smart to find out the exact selling price of the Boxster that you want to lease. Do you know its MSRP as well? If so, let us know what it is. It will show us how much of a discount you are being given on this car and it will enable me to use Porsche Credit's current lease program to estimate what your monthly payment should be.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
#146 of 177 Re: Porsche Boxter [ron11612002] by Car_man HOST Jun 28, 2007 (3:27 am)
Replying to: ron11612002 (Jun 25, 2007 2:58 am) Hi Ron. Porsche never really provides any sort of lease support on the Boxster, so leasing one is usually pretty expensive. On the other hand, BMW has a pretty good lease program on the Z4 right now. I would be happy to give you an idea of how much a lease on the Boxster that you are interested in would cost right now. In order for me to do so I need you to provide me with the MSRP and approximate selling price of the exact model that you want.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
#147 of 177 I didn't do my due diligence,,,, by tesla43 Jun 28, 2007 (6:15 pm)
Car man,,I would like you to assess my recent situation and tell me how badly I got screwed by my dealership. I went ahead and leased a Porsche Cayman S without really understanding the leasing process. Dumb move on my part. Anyway, the car is metallic slate grey with black interior. The original MSRP was $66,650.00 and did not really include that many options. I ended up getting the vehicle for $59K. However, I had a Mazda RX8 that was only two years old and in excellent condition with only 7,350 miles on it that I basically gave to them for $16,850 which is what I owed on the car. I knew that Edmund's said I could get $19K but they gave me a bunch of double talk about how they go by this supposed "black book" which listed my car for the price of "$16,500.00." Because I did not understand the lease process I figured that if I put down a larger down payment it would work for me in regard to a much lower monthly payment. At the time, both the sales person and leasing agent were not offering up a lot of information as to how the lease really worked. Long story short. I really wanted the car and didn't think to scrutinize the deal until after the fact. The ugly truth is I now have a monthly payment of $740/mo, a 60 month lease, and I am out a down payment of 5K that I really did not need to make. I called the salesman back the following day when I started to panic and at that time he finally told me "that I did not have to make such a large down payment." It turns out that for every one-thousand dollars you put down it lowers your monthly by only twenty lousy dollars. I'm feeling pretty bad at the moment. Is this deal as bad as I feel like it is? Is there any kind of silver lining here? Your comments are much appreciated.   Thanks, Tesla Replies to this message: joechicago7 (Jul 08, 2007 11:38 am) Car_man (Aug 06, 2007 2:34 am)

Replying to: tesla43 (Jun 28, 2007 6:15 pm) A few comments:   - 60 months is a really long lease. Leases are usually no longer than the warranty lasts. Couldn't you of gotten close to the same deal on the 36 month leaase? - On a 60-month lease, each $1,000 of down payment saves you $20/month. That is correct. So I don't think you necessarily got screwed by putting down money. Please refer to Car Man's specific warning about putting any money down on any lease. - Regarding the trade-in, it sounds like you got a trade in value equal to the outstanding loan. Not necessarily getting screwed.   If you didn't like the deal of you felt you needed more information then you should of waited. Not sure why you did it if you were going to make this post shortly after.
