Replying to: baxterdown (May 03, 2009 4:05 am) It turned out that Ford was leasing in South Florida but rates were a joke. So, I ended up buying the car. Also, FMC's finance rates are terrible. so the $1,000 rebate from them is useless. Thanks again sir. You're d-man!!!

Replying to: baxterdown (May 03, 2009 4:05 am) It's all very confusing. I have been leasing and buying Saab's and Caddy's for the last 15 years and always knew if I was getting a good deal. Now I am afraid to make a decision. Here are the details of the dealer quote: ON A LEASE MSRP 37,780.00 Negotiated Price 35,458.00 Money Factor (Interest Rate).5 Term (How many months) 39 Residual .46 Rebate $750.00 given after negotiated price as additional money down $1000.00 total out pocket 497.45 per month ON A PURCHASE MSRP 37, 780.00 Negotiated Price 35,458.00 Interest Rate 0 Term (How many months) 60 Down Payment (if any) 1000.00 total out of pocket Rebate $750.00 given will be an addional down payment 605.70 per month What should I be paying for this car? Also, what is GAP insurance? I never had to pay this before. Right now I am leasing a Caddy STS4 for $479,00 per month which seems to be a better deal than the Flex. Should I work on a dealer for a limited model? I just need AWD, 40/40 captain's seats and the sun roof. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, JON |

Replying to: Car_man (Apr 22, 2009 2:47 am) I'm in SoCal & looking at an SE with a white roof, sync & 6 cd. MSRP is listed as $30,545.00. I've 2 dealers telling me at invoice for a 36 mo lease 12,000 miles & no drive-offs the payment will be $430-448 plus tax. Does this jive with what your rates/invoice records show? I'm wondering if there is more room to bring down the payment a bit more? Thank you I'm so glad to have found this site.

Replying to: austrianbrand (May 08, 2009 4:18 pm) they have a demo (think 8500miles) Limited AWD Retail 36555 w/ extras 44500 (incl. dest fee 700) savings offered 6389 sale price 38111 Net sale w/ all the taxes, doc fee, etc 41755 Said included 1000 lease cash !? down 3500, 12k, 39 months ea. 466 it seems the obviously wanna get rid of the demo cars only think i wonder is how (and if) they tack on the 8500 already on the car with the 39000 lease miles should i even consider leasing a demo with miles on ? thx again

Replying to: austrianbrand (May 09, 2009 5:08 am) So with the demo you are looking at I'd say your "over" mileage would start at 47,500 (39,000 +8,500). However I would not do a 39 month lease if I were you. If you lease for 39 months, you will have to pay the 3rd year registration on the car & only get the benefit of 3 months of the 12 you just paid for. I'd keep it to an even 36 months because anything you save by going 39 mo will be eaten up by that registration payment for sure. Just my 2 cents

Replying to: kyreba (May 11, 2009 11:51 am) I'm not sure if this varies by region but here's how it was explained to me a few years ago. The details are a little fuzzy so please correct me if I'm wrong a little. To lease a demo (I'm in PA) with the odo reading over some mileage limit, I think he said 2000 miles or somewhere around there, you have to build the mileage into the lease and you basically lose them but still pay for them. Using the example above and starting the lease at 8,500 miles on the Flex, on a 36k mile lease you would really only get to drive it for 29,500 miles (36000 - (8500-2000). After that you would pay for each mile over the limit. Salesmen have always steered me away from leasing a demo for this reason. The price is attractive, but make sure you don't need the extra mileage. |
