I have received an offer for a Porsche Boxster w/ an MSRP of $54380 for $3000 less. I want to lease it for 4 years. Dealer asks for $3000 down and $691 + tax with a residual of 43%.He said his money factor is .00178. Also that residual is non-negotiable being 52% for 3 yrs, 43% for 4 yrs and 35% for 63 mos. Also, can I get gap insurance and reduce the required down? If I pay more down, is the reduction in monthly commensurate with the added upfront cost? Can you reveal your secret lease calculator algorithms. Pretty savvy in Excel, I am. If you can help me and I buy the Porsche and you pass by in LA (now) or San Diego after I move there, dinner is on me for you and your gal and my wife. How about that for a minor incentive.
Anyway you might be my first Porsche friend.

Car_man, (repost!)
 
Did not want to push but wanted to make sure you got this so I have reposted. Thanks, kjw
  
Thanks so much for the information. Have been out of town, so did not see your reply until today. I am looking at a Tiptronic (automatic transmission) how does this affect the lease numbers? Same time 36 and 48 months!
 
Original information - 2006 911 (Non-S) coupe, would like lease numbers for 36 and 48 months. You had provided figures above but stated that Automatic transmission would change figures - so can you please provide those?
 
Once again thanks, kjw

Hi fletch58. I would be happy to estimate what your lease payment on this car should be for you. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Porsche Boxster without the Tiptronic transmission with an MSRP of $50,290 and a selling price of $48,000 through Porsche Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $740. The payment for an otherwise identical 48 month lease should be $689. As you can see, the lease payments that you were quoted are a little high. Perhaps the dealer that you are working with marked-up Porsche Credit's buy rate lease money factors for this car. Its buy rate lease money factor and 12,000 miles per year residual value for an '06 Boxster without Tiptronic are .00280 and 58% for 36 months and .00290 and 50% for 48 months.

Hey fletch58. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any resource that provides information on banks' current lease programs to the general public.

Welcome back, kjw. You're welcome. All 2006 Boxsters have the same lease money factors, regardless of transmission type. However, models that are equipped with the Tiptronic transmission have residual values that are 2% lower than models without this option.

Hello Redvariable. That is an excellent lease money factor for this car. It is much lower than Porsche Credit's buy rate money factor for this car, so the dealer that you are working with must be running your lease through some independent bank. Porsche Credit's lease program is not very good, so it would not surprise me if and independent bank out there has a more attractive lease program on it. A 2006 Porsche Boxster without the Tiptronic option leased through Porsche Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year should have a buy rate lease money factor of .00280 and a residual value of 58%. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease should be .00290 and 50%. As you can see, Porsche Credit's residual values are stronger than the ones that you mentioned (though I did make some assumptions about the transmission type and mileage allowance). I believe that Porsche Credit automatically includes gap insurance in its leases, but I obviously don't know about the independent bank whose the program you were quoted.
 
I notice that you are considering making a $3,000 capitalized cost reduction on your car. 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 $3,000 down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all.
 
You should be able to develop an Excel spreadsheet that will help you estimate lease payments by using the formula that is outlined in the following article: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Hey kjwbmwm5. I just answered your questions a few posts ago. I forgot that we were talking about the 911 and not the Boxster, but it doesn't really matter. The money factors for both cars are the same and the residual values for a 911 with Tiptronic are still 2% lower than they are for a 911 without.

Car_man,
 
Thanks so much for the information - however, I am a little confused and want to make sure I have the correct numbers when I discuss this with the dealer.
 
Your original post of November 15 stated that the money factor and residual for the 911 Manual was .00280 and 61% for 36 months and .00290 and 53% for 48 months. Your last reply indicated that the 911 and Boxster figures were the same - however the figures you give for the Boxster are .00280 MF but 58% for the residual for 36 months and 50% for 48 months. Since I am already going to give up 2% it appears for the Automatic I want to make sure I have the right Residual numbers to use in my calculations - can you please verify the figures for the 911 Non S Coupe both Automatic and Manual please. Thanks so much, kjw

Lease Payment for Carrera 4 S by sla69yer
Dec 16, 2005 (10:31 pm)
Reply
I was curious about what a lease price for a 2006 Carrera 4S Should be? I saw one at Newport Auto Center with a sticker price of about 100K. What are your thoughts on how much can be negotiated on this price. What would I be looking at for a 4 year lease with 15k miles a year with no down payment.
 
Thanks.
