Replying to: jkenyan (Sep 13, 2005 5:20 pm) Car_man will be able to answer your specific questions about the lease itself...   But, for every $1000 increase in MSRP, the payment should only go up by $12-$15 per month...   Divide the lease payment by the MSRP, and you'll get a good rule of thumb.. For example, if a $50K car has a lease payment of $700/mo., then the same car with a $51K MSRP, should have a payment of around $714/mo..   $28/mo.? That is the increase if your selling price goes up by $1000 on the exact same car..   regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: jkenyan (Sep 14, 2005 4:56 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 14, 2005 3:44 am) OK. Today I was quoted on a Boxster w/Tip and some other options. Price was approx. 50K. Dealer expected the 48 mo. lease, w/5k capitol cost reduction, 10K miles/yr. 5% sales tax. Estimated lease payment $607/mo. Still seems high, because another dealer is advertising an 06' base, 5 speed, no options, same terms as above except 4K CCR, at $489/mo. Thoughts? Cause I am confused.

Thanks for the additional information, John. I need you to provide me with this car's prices including the destination charge in order to calculate an accurate lease payment for you. I notice that your most recent quote includes a $5,000 capitalized cost reduction. I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen during your lease, your insurance company pays off the bank that you were leasing it through and your down payment essentially disappears. The second main reason is that down payments on leased vehicles do nothing to reduce their lease-end purchase prices. So your lease-end purchase option price for your Boxster would be exactly the same, regardless of whether you had put $5,000 down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#8 of 188 Boxster Money Factor and Residuals for lease by martini4me Sep 27, 2005 (3:43 pm)
Hi CarMan: Do you have any reliable info on money factor and residual percentages for the 2005 and 2006 Boxsters? I know how to calculate the lease, just want to see what you feel is out there right now. I've had dealers try to mark up the money factor on me in the past. I'm looking at ordering one in a month or two (probably 2006 model) for Feb or March delivery. I know that there's no way that I can predict what rates will be at that time, but just want to get a feel for how porsche handles their lease rates. I'm assuming that I cannot "lock-in" any rates prior to accepting delivery of the vehicle. Is that accurate? Thanks! Cheers!

Excellent user id, martini4me . Yes, I have seen Porsche Credit's current lease program for the 2005 and 2006 Boxster. As usual, Porsche is not providing any sort of money factor support on this car. As a result, if you were to lease one through Porsche Credit right now you would have to use its standard lease money factors. Its buy rate standard money factor for a 36 month lease is .00270 through the end of October. It is difficult to say what its money factors will be like after that date. I am not sure if Porsche allows consumers who order vehicles to lock in their lease program at the time that the order was placed. I am sure that your dealer will know the answer to this question.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: davezaristo (Oct 05, 2005 11:27 pm)

Replying to: Car_man (Sep 28, 2005 3:11 am) Hi,   I have a question regarding leasing as well. I am looking to purchase a 05 Boxster due to the fact that the dealers in my area are offering $5,000 off msrp. I am planning to negotiate even more, perhaps $6-7000 off and would like to know how much my month leasing payment would be. The msrp of the car including destination charge is about $49,500, so with the discount, let's say $6000 off would be $43,500. I am planning to put no down, do a 3yr and 12k miles/yr lease, and my sales tax is 8.25%. If you can help me come up with some figure on how much it will cost me, that would be greatly appreciated. I have always pay cash for my cars and this is the first time I am considering leasing. Thanks!!

Hi davezaristo. I would be happy to give you an idea of what your lease payment should be like on the car that you are interested in right now. If you were to lease a 2005 Porsche Boxster (not the S model and without Tiptronic) with an MSRP of $49,500 and a selling price of $43,500 through Porsche Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $656.   By the way, since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: davezaristo (Oct 12, 2005 3:53 pm)

Replying to: Car_man (Oct 12, 2005 3:27 am) Thanks for your help. Besides msrp, is there anything else I should negotiate? Money factor, residual value, etc.?? I know it is different across different car makers (most are set and not negotiable i heard ), but I am not too familiar on how porsche works so i thought i may ask.   Also, what is your view on lump sum lease? My credit card is providing me a great rate of 1.99%APR for the lifetime of the loan and I was thinking about taking advantage of that. Will I still be able to write off those lease payments for tax purposes? On a lump sum or monthly basis? (I know i may need to ask my accountant but thought that you may know so i'll just ask here)   Finally, does zero down means all DMV fees and doc fees are built into the lease payments already?   I am asking alot of questions, but I am unable to find the answers in ordinary leasing guidelines so i hope that you can shed some light. Again, thank you so much for your help!!
#13 of 188 48-Month Lease Money Factor by martini4me Oct 19, 2005 (12:18 pm)
Hey Car Man: Thanks for the money factor info for 36 month lease. Do you also have info on residual % and money factor for 48 month lease in the 2005/2006 Boxster. I plan to get a tiptronic and will probably lease for 48 months / 12000mis/yr, since the car should be under warranty for the full leasing period. Thanks for the info...sorry to be a pest!! Cheers!
#14 of 188 CarMan...One more thing :-) by martini4me Oct 19, 2005 (12:25 pm)
do you know anything about Porsche Options financing?....looks like it's $100 cheaper per month than a lease, but with a balloon payment (their website indicates that balloon payment only due if car not returned to dealer). Maybe residuals are different? I'll ask a dealer for info too, but wanted to see if you had any words of wisdom. Many thanks!
