First we are in the So. California market, so you'll get the picture on pricing here. Traded in my year old Chevy HHR for a 2007 MKX in White Chocolate with charcoal interior. Not my first choice of colors, but they were long out of the light interiors with the white ext. Got the Elite package with the Vista roof and all the goodies that go with that pkg. Sticker was $45K. Dealer took $3K off, plus another $3K in rebates. We leased this vehicle and put down $6K. The bad part was that we had to WRAP $10K from the purchase of the 2006 HHR into the deal. We bought the HHR a year ago and had to wrap $4K from a 2001 Suburban we'd had for 6 years (was first a lease and converted to purchase at end of 48 mo. lease). We had no leverage b/c of the trade in, but on the upside after this 36 mo. lease we can throw them the keys and get something else with no WRAPs. Probably not the greatest deal, but it never is IF you have a trade-in. To answer question of WHY trade the HHR, it was a nice car (it was bright red with the Spring Ed. pkg so was chromed out, and had all the stuff they put on those fully loaded) but it was small inside, not comfortable and didn't feel crash-worthy. The Lincoln is more substantial and has many more safety features should an accident occur. We're over 55, so maybe it was our turn for a Lincoln. Anyway, she's a purdy girl in White Chocolate. The ouchy part is the lease payment of $762/mo. I can feel the pain already.

In 25 years of car buying, the best experience we've ever had to date buying a car after dealing with Gary-Worth in Gladstone, Or. Came out of an A4 lease. With the incentives right now, we leased a fully loaded MKX (elite, spec ed, ultimate) for $615/mo out the door with only $220 out of pocket (24mo/ 15K, 63% residual). The list was $45K; w/ incentives, we were at less than $40K. With the .000207 Red Carpet rate for 24mo, we will actually be able to buy this rig after 2 years for a better buy then with a cash deal right now.... My wife just loves it and the kid loves the nav system toys. The sync system works as advertised and they have their stuff all plugged in. |

Hello. Does anyone know if this is a good deal? 39 month 10 500 mile lease, Ultimate Package plus double headrest DVD and Vista Sunroof for $486/month. No money down, taxes and title of approx $2200 due at signing? Any opinions as to whether or not the deal will get better if I wait till Jun/July?

Replying to: abrahamlincoln (Apr 22, 2008 1:53 pm) Is your opinion that it is still a fair deal? Thanks again!
