Replying to: 18mike (Apr 18, 2008 9:58 pm) At $0.20/mi over 23625, you are paying almost half your payment in extra miles, $242/mo. That leaves you $270/mo for the standard 10500/yr which is reasonable if that incldues taxes.   Even higher mileage rates, leasing has some advantages and can still make financial sense. If used for a business, it is easier to expense.   Re: 27mo leases, different states may handle registration differntly, but 27 vs. 24 moths matters not for vehicles in Michigan. Tags expire on the registered owner's bithday. If my birthday happens to fall in theose extra 3 moths, yes I have to pay for another year's worth of registration on that vehicle while only using it for <3mo. If my birthday is not within the next 3 months, it doesn't matter. Actualy it rarely matters anyway as you usually transfer the plate to your replacement vehicle. If the next vehicle is significantly less expensive, you end up paying more for the plate, tbut that's nit-picking <$25 usually.

Replying to: aaron_t (Apr 24, 2008 12:29 pm) Re: 27mo leases. I think it might be that way in Michigan, but in California is definitely not the same. Our car registrations are not $25 or so, depending on the car you drive, it can range from $100 to $300. So if you get a 27month lease, You must pay your 3rd year's registration after the 24th month, drive your car for 3 months and get a new one. A $25k car can have a registration fee of around $230-240, not exactly nit-picking in my book. But every state is different so I'm not trying to discredit your statement. You do have some valid points. Replies to this message: aaron_t (Apr 28, 2008 11:02 am)

Replying to: gforce11 (Apr 25, 2008 2:47 pm) Our plate registrations are in the $100-300 range as well, depending on MSRP of the vehicle new as well.. Even 3 months into your 3rd year, can you transfer your plate for the remaining 9 months to another vehicle for a smaller fee in CA? In MI, we have a $19 registration/plate transfer fee that allows you to keep whatever plate you have until your next birthday, assuming it has already been paid for on the prior vehicle.

Replying to: scottyd3 (Apr 16, 2008 1:57 pm) Greetings Scott. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Dodge Journey SE 2WD with 12,000 miles per year are .00199 and 49%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Journey SXT 2WD are .00191 and 52%. When negotiating your lease on this vehicle, make sure to take the $1,000 cash incentive that Chrysler is currently providing on it into account.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
