Replying to: quick5 (Apr 03, 2008 5:44 pm) CPO carries a warranty that lasts for longer than the factory warranty, in many cases, and you've avoided the steepest deprecation on the vehicle (the first 2-3 years). Its really a great way to go. |

If you do this ( it is usually called an lease aquisition fee) then I have bridge to sell you in Brooklyn! The whole point of a lease is to keep money in your pocket and how can you do this if you are donating money to the car dealers FU money fund?  Remember you are NOT buying the car so why put money down on something you don't own? You put money down on a House and a "Purchased Car". Tell me when you rent a car do you give the rental car a down payment so you can lower the daily rate? When you rent a hotel room do you give the hotel a down payment so you won't have to pay the daily hotel rate? When you are leasing a car, you are simply RENTING it for a long time. The only way you will be able to compare leases between different cars is when you are ONLY comparing lease length, lease payments and mileage. Some people will say "Oh I'm putting money down so I can buy the car cheaper at the end of the lease". I'll leave it to others to tell you what a stupid argument this is on so many different levels. You should ALWAYS be able to negotiate this "Lease acquisition fee" completely away when you negotiate the sales (lease) price of the car. Remember dealers love you suckers who buy leases for thousands down.  They tell stories about these morons at Dealer parties and take their girl friends ( and yours if you are so stupid) on romantic trips to Europe to tour the BMW factories with your hard earned money!
