Looking at the 08 Charger SXT by mike513
Jan 01, 2008 (9:03 pm)
Reply
Well I thought I had my mind all made up with a recent quote on an '08 Accord LX-P for $269/month for 36months/12k/yr with only $696 down. Factoring in the downpayment, that's about $288/month.
 
I'm wondering if I can get the new Charger for anywhere near that. I'm located in MA if that helps.
 
I did some of my homework. I know the '08 Charger SXT with "G" package MSRP is $26,360($25,685 + destination of $675).
 
Minus the $2,000 incentive brings me down to $24,360. Invoice on the car is $23,867 or $24,542 with the destination charge added.
 
I'd like to do a 36 month lease with 10,500 mi/month.
 
Can anyone provide me with the money factor and residual value based on these figures? I am using the lease calculator at www.leaseguide.com although it doesn't seem to put out the same numbers as the dealers I've talked to.
 
Does anyone recommend a different lease calculator? Thanks for your time!

Hi mike513. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Dodge Charger SXT 2WD with 10,500 miles per year are .00118 and 51%, respectively.
 
Edmunds.com has a calculator that you can use to calculate your vehicle's payment: Edmunds.com Lease Calculator. Also, you can always use the formula that is outlined in the following article to calculate your monthly payment manually: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Hello Car_Man,
 
I'm a regular reader of your posts, but now a new member to this great Forum. As a follow-up to the 08 Charger SXT lease question, I wanted to inquire about an R/T. How does this deal rate with the following factors:
 
39 month term
10,500 miles per year
52% residual value
.00311 money factor
$3000 rebate
$500 down
$31,430 MSRP
$29,100 Selling Price
$447.63 Total Monthly Payment (tax included 7.75%)
 
What are the current money factors for the R/T and/or the Daytona R/T?
 
Thanks, I appreciate your input and look forward to future posts.

Dodge Charger lease by mandrake2

Chrysler just came out with a new lease for the Dodge Charger "SE Plus".
They list the payment as 24 months $129/month with 10,500 miles per year.
this statement is embedded in the lease terms:-
 "The Lease payments below are before any fees/taxes and include no more than $1999 due- at-signing (down payment plus 1st month payment)."
What does it mean and what is the residual and money factor...??
This is in Michigan.

RED TAX by mandrake2

When I lease a vehicle in Michigan, the dealership (TAMAROFF), charges me a "RED TAX". This is the tax on whatever rebate Chrysler gives on the vehicle.
example:
MSRP = $34,000
Dealer rebates = $3000
RED TAX = $180.00 (Michigan sales tax is 6%)
Is this legal in michigan ...????

I'm guessing that RED is short for Cap Cost Reduction..
 
In general, factory rebates, or any other downpayment, paid upfront on a lease (or purchase) is taxable.

Welcome OCcarbuff. I'm glad to hear that you read the forums so much. The money factor that you were quoted for the Charger R/T that you are interested in is way too high, unless you're talking about the SRT-8 version of the Charger. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39 month lease of a 2008 Dodge Charger R/T 2WD with 10,500 miles per year are .00253 and 51%, respectively. This car's 36 month numbers look a little better at .00189 and 52%.

Greetings mandrake2. According to the latest information that I have seen, Chrysler Financial's lease program for the Dodge Charger is nothing to get excited about. Its current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Dodge Charger SE with 10,500 miles per year are .00323 and 61%, respectively. If you really want to lease a Charger, the best way to get a good deal is to look up the dealer invoice price for the exact model that you want in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com, subtract the $3,000 lease cash that is currently available on it, add a few hundred dollars back for the dealer, and see if you can find a dealer to lease you the car that you want at that price.
