Hi ddeder. If you haven't leased this truck yet you are in luck. DaimlerChrysler introduced an additional $1,000 Chrysler Financial Bonus Cash on it for the last week of July. This brings the total cash allowance on it to $4,500. As far as your trade goes, there's nothing wrong with trading in a vehicle when leasing. However, it is in your best interest to have the dealer you are working with cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment on your lease. I always advise community members against making large down payments on leased vehicles because if their vehicles are stolen and never recovered or totaled in an accident during their lease, their down payments essentially disappear.
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4WD with an MSRP of $33,260 and a capitalized cost of $24,024 (this takes the extra $1,000 incentive into account but not your trade) through Chrysler Financial right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $347.

Lease Turn In

Car_man,
I've got a 2006 Dodge Ram that I leased for 2 years, that's ready to turn in around March. Is it too early to start looking at negotiating for purchase, and how would I go about it. The purchase price at trade in is around $19,200 and it'll have 24,000 miles +or-.
What is a reasonable value below the price to try and target. It is a Quad Cab 4x4 w/ 4.7 liter, tow option, fog lamps, It's been a nice truck, and I'd like to keep it if I could get a good deal.
Ed

Hello Ed. DaimlerChrysler has an early lease termination program that will waive up to three remaining lease payments for consumers who have a year or less remaining on their leases. Given the fact that you have more payments than that remaining on your lease, you would have to pay money out of your own pocket or roll the cost of breaking your current lease early into your next loan or lease to get a new vehicle now. Neither of these options is very attractive. If I was in your situation, I personally would wait until I was closer to the scheduled end of my lease to get a new vehicle. Stop by the following discussion for feedback on how much you should pay for this truck right now: "Dodge Ram: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

I'm thinking of a lease for a quadcab 1500 sport msrp 38800.
39 m for 370
27 m for 388
Does this sound good? What is better 27m or 39m. This is a 10500 miles a year with nothing down. 1st payment and 100 regs. Tax included in payment. buyout is 20900. 6500 in rebates.

Hi woody18. You never mentioned the selling price of the truck that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the truck that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what its selling price is.

Hey this is a great truck. Yesterday I sold my Toyota Tacoma for this bad boy. I got a Dodge Ram 1500 Night Runner. It was a pretty good deal. They gave $14,900 on my Tacoma. The truck was 35,990, but thanks to my friend I got that truck for 28,990. THIS TRUCK RULES!!
