Replying to: Car_man (Aug 31, 2005 2:52 am) I am looking to get a Dodge Magnum. I feel leasing might be my best bet because I want to get more car for my money and I want to get a new car in a few years. I am looking to put about 15,000 miles a year on it. Initially, I wanted to get a used auto loan from a credit union and find a used 2005 magnum SXT. But it seems like leasing a new one might be a better option. Ideally, I'd like to keep my payments below $350. Is there a way to work the numbers in such a way that a lease is possible? Would it be better getting the RT if I am leasing? From what I have gotten from going over your posts..you can get a car thats 37k with a payment in the 300 dollar range if the residual value is good? Or am I misunderstanding? Also, do you recommend the Financial Plus leasing? Please help me out so that I am able to get a good deal. Thanks in advance for your response! Sincerely, Unosturgis |

Hello Unosturgis. It is difficult to generalize about how much a vehicle with an MSRP of $X will cost to lease because there are so many variables involved in leasing. A vehicle's exact lease payment will depend upon its money factor, how long the lease is, the mileage allowance, the residual value, and how much of a discount is being given. I would be happy to estimate what sort of lease payment you will have on the Dodge Magnum that you are interested in, but in order for me to do so I need some additional information from you first. This information includes the exact model that you want, its full MSRP 9with the destination charge added in), its approximate selling price, and how long you want to lease it for. You can find the MSRP for the car that you want right here at Edmunds.com by visiting the New Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You will also find the dealer invoice and Edmunds.com True Market Value prices for this vehicle there. They will give you an idea of what sort of selling price you will have to pay. The "Plus" program that you mentioned is Chrysler Financial's balloon note program. There's nothing wrong with balloon notes, in fact they are very similar to leases in many respects. However, they are much less popular than leases and I do not personally keep tabs on manufacturers' balloon note programs. Let me know the missing information that I just mentioned and I would be happy to estimate a lease payment for you. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: Car_man (Oct 17, 2005 3:15 am) Sorry for not being more specific. The model I was looking at was a 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T in black. The MSRP is $32,260. The sales price would be $28,500. I was looking to do a 24-48 month term lease. Thanks in advance for your repsonse. Sincerely, Unosturgis |

Don't worry about it, Unosturgis. Community members leave this sort of information out all the time. Thanks for the more specific information. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T 2WD with an MSRP of $32,260 and a selling price of $28,500 through Chrysler Financial right now for 39 months (this is the most attractive term for this model right now) with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $428. When negotiating your lease on this model, make sure to keep in mind that DaimlerChrysler is currently providing $1,500 bonus cash on it. This money will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your lease. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Hi i was interested in a Dodge Magnum SXT 2006. The MSRP is $27,145 and i negotiated them down to $24,549. I wanted to know dodge current money factor and residual on both a 36 month lease and 39 month lease. My credit is great and i'm sick and tired of all these dealers lying to me so that they can make a ridiculous profit. Also do you know if CHrysler financial charges a bank fee. Anyway thanks for any help that you can give me
