The dealer is telling me MF for 3yr/36k mil is .00349. What I've read on this site say otherwise. I live in san diego, ca. There are only two local dealers. What MF should I be asking for?

Leasing a Used Porsche by gocard1

I see a lot of solid info on this site about leasing a new Porsche. Any thoughts/input on leasing let's say an '06 or '07 911 C2 Cab?
 
What kind of money factors do they use? What kind of residuals? Say we're talking about a 36 or 48 month lease with 10k miles.
 
Any reactions to the prospect of leasing a couple of year old 911 vs. buying it?
 
My questions emanate from trying to balance the cost of leasing where I walk away in 3 to 4 years vs. purchasing and seeing what it will be worth in 3 to 4 years as retained "equity", taking into account having to pay hefty sales tax on a purchase for the full value of the car.
 
Any thoughts on info on things like money factors and residuals on '06 and '07 911 Cabs?
 
Thanks.

Egold1, Porsche Credit's current buy rate lease money factor is only .00250 for consumers who have good credit. The dealer that you are working with is trying to mark up its base rate a lot to add additional hidden profit to your deal. This sort of thing is not surprising. It is very common at luxury car dealers, like Porsche. You can try comparison shopping with another dealer or two to see if they would be willing to use the buy rate to calculate your car's monthly payment, but the problem with getting a low volume vehicle like a 911 is that you may find they are not willing to.

Lease vs. Buy by new911buyer

1st time 911 buyer here. Considering Carrera w/typical optional equip. Trying to decide what makes more sense...lease an 08 vs. buying a 2007 pre-owned. I don't have to have a brand new one...more interested in minimizing the cost to own over a 36-48 month period. I'm a low mileage driver 7k/year.
 
Have heard 2009s will be out in next 90 days or so. How will that affect the economics of my decision?
 
Thanks in advance to anyone who has insight.

Leasing a custom ordered 2009 911 by phil0sophy

Hi there!
 
Been reading Edmunds for years and have used the site to help buy/lease 5 cars, working my way up the automotive food chain from a couple of Jettas to my current car, an Audi S4 Cab. Well the lease is almost up on my cab and I am now planning to replace it with a custom ordered 2009 911 C4 Cab. List price on the car is $115,360 and the dealer's first offer is to sell it for $112,360. He is quoting a MF of .0028 and residuals of .59 (36 mos) or .53 (48 mos).
 
The questions I have are:
1) Is that the right MF? I've read here that it's currently .0027 and I've seen 3rd party lease rates on Porsches as low as .0026
2) Why are dealers so reluctant to negotiate on cars they order? I went through the same song and dance when I ordered my Audi (I ultimately got the car for $1000 over invoice) and they are starting it up again - 'we never lower the price on ordered cars, these are hard to get, blah, blah.'
 
Isn't an ordered car essentially risk-free money for them? They don't have to wait for someone to come in and take inventory off of their hands or hope that the config they chose will actually sell. What I'm getting at is how much leverage do I have to shop for the best deal (I'm in Boston and there are 8 dealers within 75 miles so I think I have plenty of options)?
 
Thanks!
Shawn

phil0sophy - Congratulations on your upcoming purchase.
 
1) The money factor through PFS is 0.00250 with top tier credit and the residuals are correct for 10,000 miles per year (they can't adjust the residual). Other banks such as USBank have been aggressive (relatively speaking), but they are currently not providing lease rates on this vehicle.
 
2) I think you could do better on the selling price.
 
Best,
Matt

Hi Matt,
 
Thanks for your reply! I went back to them and lo and behold, the MF was changed to .0025 but then the drama started. lol
 
I wanted to put something in the P&S that would help prevent them from pulling a lease bait n' switch at delivery because they would have quite an advantage at that time - they would have my deposit and I would have already turned in my Audi.
 
They came back with the typical song and dance 'we sell C4s at full list all day, in fact we have a bunch on custom order for list price' and they were not willing to share some of the risk (i.e. that I could get my deposit back if the deal terms turned grossly unfavorable) on the deal. So I thanked them for their time and am going to shop for a better deal.
 
I read about Authority Car Buying on here a couple months back and I am going to see if they can help, I'll let you know how things go!
 
Thanks again,
Shawn
