Car Man,
 
A friend just got a nice deal on a leftover '06 MegaCab Laramie with CTD. He said when they were doing the financing, they offered him several lease deals. In my (limited) experience, you can not normally lease a year old model.
 
Question 1) Can you lease a 2006 New at this time and what are the rates for a 06 Mega SLT 2wd in 63026 (St. Louis)
 
2) Rates for 2007 1500 Quad Cab Laramie 2wd and 2007 2500 Quad Cab SLT 2wd.
 
3) On the 07's what does it make a difference in lease rates for 2wd for 4wd.
 
Sorry for all the questions. I need a truck in the next few months and these deals on Dodge's right now are pretty good.
 
Thanks,
 
DaveW

I'd be happy to help you out, myblueize. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39 month lease of a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup Quad Cab SLT 4WD with 15,000 miles per year in your area are .00343 and 48%, respectively. The money factor for an identical lease of a Quad Cab Laramie 4WD model is exactly the same, but its residual value would be 45%. DaimlerChrysler is currently providing $5,000 lease cash on the 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup Quad Cab plus dealers have the ability to earn up to another $1,000 if they hit certain sales volume targets.

Hi DaveW. While one could technically still lease a 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup through Chrysler Financial right now, it probably is fairly expensive to do so because the residual values of '06 models are pretty low this late in the model year. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup Mega Cab SLT 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00332 and 41%, respectively. DaimlerChrysler is currently providing $6,000 dealer cash on the '06 Ram Mega Cab.
 
If you were to lease a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup Mega Cab SLT 2WD through Chrysler Financial right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value in your area should be .00343 and 47%. The money factors for the 2WD and 4WD versions of this truck are the same, but the 4WD's residual value is higher at 51%. DaimlerChrysler is currently providing $3,000 lease cash on the '07 Dodge Ram Mega Cab.
 
There is a stairstep dealer cash promotion running on Dodge Ram Pickups right now that provides dealers with up to $1,000 per unit if they hit a certain sales target, so dealers have a lot of incentive to deal on this model right now.

#50 of 95 07 Ram 2500 Lease by hofhenke

Mar 07, 2007 (2:48 am)

Car Man,
 
    What could I expect to pay on leasing an '07 Ram 2500 SLT 4x4 SB for a 36 months? I would like to put as litte down as possible. I was reading some earlier posts and some people were talking about a college grad promo? Well I recently graduated and have great credit!
 
   Or are there any better times to lease a truck other than right now or should I wait until a big sale? I live near Sacramento, CA!
 
Thanks!!

Hi hofhenke. This truck's lease payment will depend upon what its MSRP and selling price. Let me know what these numbers are and I would be happy to use Chrysler Financial's current lease program to estimate what your monthly payment should be.

#52 of 95 Lease 2007 Dodge RAM 2500 SLT? by cdanger

Jul 26, 2007 (11:14 pm)

Hi-
 
I'm looking at potentially leasing a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT (6.7L Cummins), and a few other options. I have about $18,000 available for a downpayment. I don't know what the current factor or residual would be on this truck (I would like to know). If the selling price was around $41K (before any incentives), what would the lease terms look like at 24, 30 or 36 months if I put all $18K down.
 
As far as downpayments go, would it be stupid to put that much money down? If I financed, I would still have a pretty hefty monthly payment, even with such a large downpayment and I refuse to go longer than 3 or maybe 4 years on a regular finance deal.
 
I've never leased before, if you can't tell...

Hi Car_Man,
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 quad-cab 4x4 HEMI Sport SLT Big Horn Edition. It has 20-inch wheels with 305/55/r20 Nitto Terra Grapplers, Line-X, window tint, Infinity stereo, it's a nice truck. Everything I'd want, except it's not a diesel. This truck is paid for.
 
I've been debating on trading it in for a 2007 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. I've been working with a dealer and I can trade my truck, use the money I get from it, and do a 2 year lease with a one time payment. So, I still wouldn't have a payment for 2 years. What would you do?
 
My concern is that once the 2009 1500's are out with with a diesel engine as an option, my gas truck isn't going to be forth as much as it would normally be. When a new body style comes out, the value of the older body style usually drops, but I'll have a new body style and a diesel engine option working against me.
 
Thanks!!!!!

What is the best deal with an employee discount that is available on a 2007 dodge ram 1500 for a 12000 or 15000 mile lease.Is it better to purchase right now or lease with the discount or buy. The best I found is 276 a month. Also will the deals get better. should i wait.

Hi cdanger. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
I see that you are are considering making a $18,000 down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers against making large down payments when leasing. Consumers who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You would be better off keeping that money in the bank and going with a zero down lease.
 
I would be happy to give you an idea of what this truck's lease program is currently like. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup Quad Cab 2500 SLT 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00324 and 53%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00349 and 47%. As you can see, this lease program is not very attractive. If I was personally in the market for this truck, I personally would finance it through Chrysler Financial at 0% for 4 years or through an independent bank and take advantage of the $3,500 customer cash.

Hi hemi_ky. I personally would rather keep my old truck than trade it in on a two year, pre-paid lease of a new Ram Pickup. As is usually the case, Chrysler Financial's current lease program for the Ram Pickup is not very attractive.
