I test drove the tech model last night. Very nice. I went around and around with the dealer. 36 month lease, 12,000 mile and 2k down came back for $459/month. Got it down to $417. I counter offered $379 w/additional $500 dn and they prepay xm for 3 years (gotta try). They rejected and were willing to take the $500 more dn and reduce the pmt to $401. Seems crazy to me but with the base only going for $329/month that there shouldn't be that much of an increase in monthly pmt over $3k for the tech model. I was given 65% residual and a 2.6 money factor. I was also told the base residual is at 68%.

Replying to: roadkill1111 (May 14, 2008 8:41 pm) The money factor and residual are fixed. If you negotiate payment they can take you to the cleaners in a hurry. Calculating lease payments is then very simple. Remember that "down payment" is not really a down payment if you are paying for any taxes or acquisition fees. A true down payment on a lease is a cap cost reduction which directly impacts the monthly payment since it reduces the purchase price. Once you do all of this, the negotiations are very quick. You can even take a laptop in with the lease calculator in Excel to do the math quickly.

| This is one of the reasons I prefer to buy. It is a simpler transaction and I am less tempted to buy a more expensive car than I can really afford. | |

Replying to: hipreck (May 15, 2008 3:16 am) How do you go about negotiating the price with a lease instead of the monthly payment. Do you reverse engineer the monthly payment (using the lease calculator) to find the price, then offer that amount? How do I know if there are any dealer incentives? The dealer also told me that the markup was only $900. I looked up the invoice and it was about $2,500 and I'm sure the dealer has manufacturer incentives as well.

HI, I'm looking to either lease or buy the new 2009. Any bad experiences with the car? What have you paid for lease? I think in Miami a dealer wanted me to rip me off on a lease. Almost 500. Any recommendation?
