2003 Lexus LX 470
MSRP $64,503
Cap Cost $60,000
48 Months, 12K miles per year
Also, Lexus Financial allows up to 9 security deposits to be given to lower the monthly payment. Is there a simple way to figure out how much the extra deposits will lower the payment? (I'd probably give the 9 security deposits)
As always, thank you for your time.
Again, I appreciate the information you provide on this discussion. I wanted to get an idea on non-lease incentives Saab is providing for the 9-5 Aero wagon. I know about the 0.0%/60-month financing, but are there cash incentives available (rebates), etc.?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick response. I have one more question: what happen to the MSDs I put down if the car stolen or totaled during the lease?
Thanks again,

Was wondering if you could give me the following numbers for a 36 and 39 month lease, if possible:
bmw 325Ci
residual and mf for 12,000 and 15,000 mi?
bmw 330ci
residual and mf for 12,000 and 15,000 mi?
thanks.
take care

The same thing goes for the 2003 BMW 330Ci. BMW is providing $3,000 dealer cash on it this month. Its 3 year, 15,000 miles per base lease money factor and residual value should currently be .00220 and 50%, respectively.
BMW has not published any 39 month lease numbers this month, so I can't help you out with those. If you were to lease either of these cars with only 12,000 miles per year, its residual value would be 2% higher.

If you were to lease a 2003 BMW 530i through BMW Financial Services this month for 3 years with 15,000 miles per its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00220 and 51%, respectively. I am not sure exactly what BMW FS' 4 year base money factor should be like for this car, but it is probably around .00235 or so. Its 4 year 15,000 miles per residual value is currently 42%. If you were to lease any BMW with only 12,000 miles per year, its residual values would be 2% higher.

If you were to lease a 2003 VW Passat GLX Sedan through Volkswagen Credit this month for 3 years with 15,000 miles per, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00145 and 48% (very interesting these numbers are exactly the same as the Jetta's). Again, its 12,000 miles per year residual value would be 2% higher.

I have one more for you. Can you give me the residuals and mfs for a 2004 acura tsx (both for 12k and 15K)
Thanks a lot.
I'm trying to finalize the lease of a Saab 9-3, can you provide me with the following info:
2003 Saab 9-3 Arc 6-speed
10k miles/year 36-39-42 months
12k miles/year 36-39-42 months
If you could get me the MF and residual for each that would be great!
I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you are simply the BEST source of auto info on the net. Keep up the outstanding work Car_Man!!! Thanks!
Is there any dealer cash being given by BMW FS for 330i's for this month? How much if any?
Lastly, do you think residuals and mf's will go up or down in August for the 330i and 330Ci?
thanks in advance
Thank you for your response. The numbers are..MSRP 36,495...selling price 34,225. zero down, 36 or 39 mos lease w/12k or 15k a year.
Thanking you in advance for your help.
So, right now the residual for 36 mo/12k mi is an ASTOUNDING 64-65% according to Car_man (am I right on this??) .. meaning that if I wait until then to lease, I'm sure the residual will DROP resulting in a higher monthly payment ...
But, on a car this new, do you really think it will drop dramatically, even if I wait those few months ? Also -- hopefully by then, I should be able to negotiate a better selling price than people are getting now -- right ? Most people are only getting a MAX of $1000 off MSRP -- I'm hoping to get closer to invoice by this fall.
Or, do I try to get OUT of my current lease, and snatch the good residual now -- hmmmm, decisions, decisions ... can the money factor improve, and will that affect the residual %'s, or are they unrelated ??
Anyone else in a similar situation ??? What should we REALLY expect with the TSX -- I personally don't see dealers discounting too much any time soon ...
Sorry for the long post and all the questions !!!
I was wondering if you could give me the mf and residuals for a 2003 Accord Coupe V6 EX for both 12K and 15K.
Thanks for your help.

Anyway, after reading your response, I called my leasing company .. my 2001 CL lease is up in December .. the buyout price (which is good till the end of this month is $19,050) and she said this is definitely negotiable and to definitely make an offer below that. She also mentioned that if I were to negotiate a price and BUY out the vehicle RIGHT NOW, that they would WAIVE the remaining 6 payments (@$341.00/mo), I would get credit for remaining miles, AND they would waive the disposition fee -- THAT seems like a really good deal !! I may even consider THIS now! (saves me over $2500, if I were to do it before the end of this month!) However, that is only good if I were to purchase or sell to any other 3rd party EXCEPT for a new car dealer (interesting). The contracted residual price at the end of the lease is $17,929. Dealers are advertising anywhere from to $19,500 - $23,000 for this car on their USED lots, so if they were able to negotiate a buyout from the leasing company of around $17,000-17,500, they still stand to make at LEAST $2500, which would basically cover MY remaining payments, SO .. maybe I wouldn't have to pay any money to get out of this lease since it would be close to being a 'wash'... who knows !!!
Based on what you said, I was figuring on the same on the TSX, that the residual shouldn't go below 60% at worst, for my terms. However, if Honda TRULY only produces 15,000 units, there MAY not be enough to pick from come October, and the demand will go up again .. therefore, I will NOT get the better price ...
Geeeez, what a mess .. maybe I should just get another CL .. I can get it for $500 under invoice PLUS the $1000 rebate !!!
I just can't see spending close to sticker on this TSX like everyone else is doing. I was always able to get my cars AT or BELOW invoice !!! But, this is the price you pay with a hot, limited production car, I guess ...
Thanks again ...
Is this a good deal?
Thanks.
Thanks once again for the information - great job with this discussion.

After speaking with two dealers, I got conflicting information about a 330i 36 month lease for 12,000 miles per year. One dealer told me the money factor was .0015 while the other said it was .00205. Where can I show them specific, pin-point, accurate information that I have the correct numbers? Thanks

Lots of 3-series questions here but couldn't find any conv. Latest numbers from my dealer are 15k, 59%, .0024MF (.00225 + .00015 "rate adder" for no SD).
He also told me BMWFS best financing rate right now is 4.49%
Do all these sound legit (no dealer padding)? Any idea when new numbers will come out?
Lastly, although every individual's needs and lease/finance philosophies are different, would you be able to give a personal opinion on how much of a monthly dollar savings would make leasing this car favorable?
Thanks
Thanks in advance for your assistance. Great message board!

All of the above based on 12K per year. What I was told does not seem right at all. Are you able to get the specifics on the current program w/ Lincoln Mercury as to which rebates are applicable on which models and the trim on each. I am in the 44113 zip code. I really appreciate your help as plan on a vehicle within the next week. Thanks in advance!! I was told all of these numbers were provided directly by Ford Credit as of today.
Can you tell me if you have any info about Toureg?
I just took a test drive and I really love that car.
V8 is amazing, but probably drinks too much ;-), so V6 would be fine too. There was one V8 loaded "on sale", ~$670/month for 4 years, 12000 miles/year.
The price was ~$50K. Does it seems right to you?
Thanks for any info.
both 10k and 12k miles, 36 and 48 months. Thanks!
Could you please give me the residual and MF for MB E320 for 36/15K and 39/15K, and BMW X5 3.0 for 36/15K.
Thanks
I got the following numbers on the lease of a 2003 Toyota Avalon XL with the Luxury Package and moonroof for 39 months. The MSRP is $29,109. Financing will be through Haan. Downpayment of bank fee of $895 and first payment of $421 due upfront for a total of $1316 down. Payments of $421 per month include NYS tax of 8.75%. 10k miles per year. At lease end a $395 termination fee is due.
Good deal?
Thanks,
Tony
