    Thanks, residuals remain the same then. Curious about MF.
  • brandonw1brandonw1 Member Posts: 5
    Hey guys,

    I have seen posted the residuals per below for a '13 911 C2, based on a 24-month lease:

    24 month
    -15k miles 75%
    -10k miles 78%
    -1% drop for PDK (is this accurate?)

    Does anyone know what the residual is for only 5k miles/yr?

    Also, would someone mind explaining to me what exactly the MRM of $106,380 means.

    Thank you.

    MRM is the max MSRP that can be used to calculate residual. Spend more than that and you pay 100% of the additional MSRP over the course of your lease, makes additional options very expensive.
    Sorry, I don't know the 5k/yr residuals. Yes, PDK usually drops the residual 1%.

    CAR_MAN,
    Thanks for your help with previous car purchases. I saw previous posts for base 911 C2 with PDK referencing 74% residual and 0.002 money factor for 24 month lease with 15000 miles. I just got a quote from Houston dealer with 70% residual and .0032 MF saying .002 is for current PFS customers. Can you post current residuals and MF for this scenario?

    Thanks for your help.

    Certainly mdkrp. Porsche Financial Services' March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 911 S C2 Cabrio with 12,000 miles per year are .00200 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

    Hey Brandon. Yes, the residual values that you posted are indeed accurate.

    MRM means the maximum amount of money that Porsche Financial Services allows to be residualized on a lease of this car.

    I'm not sure what PFS ultra low mileage adders are, but an educated guess would be 4% for 7,500 miles per year and 5% for 5,000. A dealer should be able to confirm this.

    Hi audimanhouston. The .00200 money factor is Porsche Financial Services' lowest possible aka buy rate lease money factor for a lease of a 2013 911 by any customer, not just loyal ones. There's a direct mail offer out there that will lower this factor to .00150 for current 911 lessees with deals expiring in the near future.

    It looks like the dealer that you are working with is trying to really jack up your car's money factor to add profit to your deal.

    The 74% residual value that you mentioned is correct.

    Hey Car_man, is the residual 74 or 75% for 2 yrs 15,000 miles. Looking at your comment above is different that the reply you gave me. Thanks for your help.

    Hi atsor3. Porsche Financial Services' March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 911 C2 Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are .00200 and 75% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    Does PFS offer a one pay lease or Multiple Security Deposits? How much is the MF reduced for either option? (911 C2) How do they handle maintenance...can I residualize it like I"m doing on my MB?

    Hi - dealer told me about a porsche incentive where they offer a cap cost reduction for 3 months x your current lease in addition to any discounts you may get. Also, he mentioned 27 month lease is best plan now. What are the mf and residuals for this versus a 24 month lease, 10k/miles a year?

    Thanks

  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi Ian. The program that you were told about is the Welcome to Porsche conquest offer. Your interpretation of it is correct.

    Porsche Financial Services' March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 911 C2S Coupe with 10,000 miles per year are .00200 and 74% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    Hi Carman, I am looking to order a 2013 911 s what is a good amount of a discount to assume that can be obtained off sticker in southern california. Thanks,
  • tsparktspark Member Posts: 3
    just bought one and did a lot of research. breakdown

    4-8.5% on new vehicles

    some get 8-10 on old stock

    Southern cal seems to be a tough market from what I have heard for negotiating

    I would accept no less than 5% but aim for 7.5-8%

    fyi I received 7.5% on base carrera last month, new in stock

    Hi atsor3. Porsche has temporarily decided to extend its March lease program. Its buy rate lease money factor for top tier customers is still .00200.

    PFS' 24-month, 10,000 mile per year residual value for a 2013 911 C2S Coupe is 74%. I haven't seen the 27-month residual, but I suspect that it's 3% lower than that.

    Thanks Car_Man-
    For 24 month lease, 10k miles/yr, my dealer is giving me a Residual of 71%.
    Is that correct? it seems it should be higher.
    Also can you confirm that for April MF is still 0.00200 and do they still have the 3 month lease buyout of current nonPorsche leases for new customers?
    I know it was going on in March but I don't see it listed in Edmunds incentives anymore.

    Thanks again

    Hi Carman and Others,

    Like others I wanted to get clarification on leasing details and there's various rates being through around.

    I'm looking at a 911S in Los Angeles for about $122,000 MSRP. Dealer has reduced pricing to about $116,000 (includes conquest offer). Looking at 24 month lease with 10k or 12k miles.

    1) Should I be getting more off the MSRP ?
    2) Should I expect a MF of 0.002 ?
    3) What is the residual for 10k / 12k ?

    Current dealership is saying with minimal drive off (only 1st month, taxes, registration, bank fee), they can do $1600 inclding taxes. did not give details on the MF, residual though.

    Any thoughts are very much appreciated as I'm thinking of getting this in the next 2-3 weeks.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Your hunch was right mdkrp. Porsche Financial Services' April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 911 S C2 Cabrio with 10,000 miles per year are .00200 and 75% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    As far as early termination goes, Porsche is waiving up to a whopping twelve remaining payments for current Porsche lessees and up to three remaining payments for current non-Porsche customers.

    Hi Eric. The money factor that you mentioned is correct. That's what I would insist be used if I was in the market for a new Porsche.

    Porsche Financial Services' April residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 911 S Coupe with 12,000 miles per year is 73%. It increases by 1% for leases with 10,000 miles per year.

    I am confused I guess on how taxes are applied to the lease deal. I have a deal in hand for a Carerra 2 with PDK and a handful of options.
    MSRP $98,900
    Negotiated Sale Price $93,900
    Lease is for 24 months with 12k miles annually. $1,800 out of pocket and $1,300/mth
    The breakdown sheet that the dealership supplied indicates sales taxes of $5,667 (I live in FL at 7% tax rate). Seems like the taxes are being applied to the entire price of the car and not the part that I am using (2 years worth).

    Wouldn't the sales tax be a lot lower?
  • ghstudioghstudio Member Posts: 972
    edited April 2013
    I also live in Fl....our rate is 6.5%, but that doesn't matter. The tax is charged on your down payment as well being added to each month's payment. Unlike some other states, you only pay taxes on what you actually pay on your lease. Multiple security deposits (actually any security deposits) are not taxable since they will come back to you.

    Based on your 7% tax rate, your total tax payments over the life of the lease should be about $2310.

    Hope this helps.
  • longwoodscottlongwoodscott Member Posts: 2
    Thanh you ghstudio. Here was there initial deal they provided:
    2013 911 C2 with PDK, etc
    MSRP $101,530
    Market Savings $4,550
    Smart Choice Price $96,980
    Appearance Protection $599
    Door Edge Guards $299
    Theft Protection ($7,500) $499
    Vehicle Selling Price $98,377

    Sales Tax $5,950.93
    Tag/Registration Est Fee $508.75
    Tire/Battery/MVWEA $6.50
    Dealer Service Fee $699.95
    Balance Due: 105,543.13

    Cash Due $6,750
    24 Mth 12k miles $1,253

    They said the residual would be 74%, but I don't think these numbers add up to any sort of savings really. I called another dealership and may have found the deal I was after. Actually 2 dealerships had MUCH better deals for C2's that were identical in MSRP.

    Without even checking the numbers...I don't even talk to dealers that try to add appearance packages, door guards, theft protection (high profit) items to the deal. I have no idea how they are figuring the tax...but the deal offered is just wrong to start with. My guess is that you'll be much happier at a different dealer.

    I would look for a deal with no money down (only first month payment and legally required costs at delivery) of about $1265/mo plus taxes. If you want to put money down up front (which you should not do), then just divide it by 24 and subtract that from the monthly payment which will get you close to the payment you should expect from the dealer...in this case roughly $1040 including your 7% tax. You would have to pay the tax on the down payment as well....so that would be another $472 or so.

    Finally, the dealer can order 2014's now and the deal for a 2014 should be almost the same....just FYI. Of course you have to wait for the car, but you can get the features you want vs the one's the dealer ordered for their stock car.

    Can someone share the latest rates, assuming they came into effect on 5/1? I'm looking at the MF and residuals for a 24 or 36 month lease for 5K miles/year. Thanks!
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi bmchris. Porsche introduced a new lease program in Mid-April that is scheduled to remain in effect through the end of June.

    porsche Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 911 C2 Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are .00200 and 75% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are .00200 and 62%.

    The residual value for a lease with 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher, 10,000 per year would be 3% higher, 7,500 per year would be 4% higher...I don't know this for certain but using this pattern one would think that 5,000 miles per year would be 5% higher.

  • ghstudioghstudio Member Posts: 972
    edited May 2013
    not sure but if your dealer is telling you the MF is .0027, my bet is that he's marking it up quite a bit or you don't have good credit. Most Porsche's (if not all) have a mf of .0020 for top credit leases. I will know better later today....I'm heading to a dealer today myself.
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    You're welcome fq1. The money factor for the C2S Coupe is the same, but the residual value for a 24-month lease of it would be 4% lower than the residual for a C2 Coupe. The residual value for a C4S Coupe would be 5% lower.

Also can you explain the conquest cash ($5k) or link me somewhere that show it (Edmunds does not have it anywhere)? Would be really interested in picking one up if these numbers are correct!

    Hi Car_Man - I'm negotiating this weekend - can you help me with:

    "Thanks! Do you know if dealers are still getting the $5,000 sell down cash from the manufacturer?

    I had also read that there is a $1,000 prepaid mastercard bonus available in connection with financing, but couldn't find any further details on it."

    Also - are the residuals with PDK 1% less - couple of dealers have told me that.
  • kapkanimdkapkanimd Member Posts: 136
    what I have been told was they are doing 5% off msrp rebate and in addition if you have a competitor lease (conquest) they will triple your monthly payment in additional rebate cash.

    I have been also given a residual of 78% for 7500 miles and 79% for 5000 miles with a PDK. Those numbers are a little less that what car_man mentioned before so I do not know if I should trust them. Waiting for verification.

    Hi. I had posted:

    "Thanks! Do you know if dealers are still getting the $5,000 sell down cash from the manufacturer?

    Also - are the residuals with PDK 1% less - couple of dealers have told me that."

    I don't think there is any special "rebate" to the customer per se. What I am asking is if there is a program where the manufacturer will pay to dealer $5,000 for a 911 coupe sale. I think Porsche calls this sell down cash, MB calls it trunk cash or just dealer cash. Now that maybe why they are will to give you 5% off MSRP - but I want to know what overall profit the dealer is making here. Eg if I tell them I want to buy a car at invoice, I know they are still at least making the $5,000 in profit.

    2 dealers have told me PDK takes 1% off the residual - and acknowledged that doesn't really make sense.

  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    You're welcome dalema. The selldown cash was only on the old-style 911s. I'm not sure if it's still around. I suspect that even if it isn't that dealers were paid out for any old units that are left in inventory.

    Hi kapkanimd. PFS' 24 mo. / 15k residual for a '13 911 C2 Coupe is 75%. I think that the low mileage adder for a 7,500 mi/yr lease is 4%.

    The only conquest offer that I've seen for the 911 is where Porsche will make up to three remaining payments for conquest customers to get them out of their current lease.

    Thanks car_man. There seem to be two other questions recently.

    1. Does PDK add or subtract 1% from the residual and are the ones you have quoted with or without pdk?
    2. Is there a $1,500 prepaid MasterCard available through porsche financing ie what is noted here: http://www.autoloandaily.com/porsche-911-rebates-incentives

    I'm signing my lease today if you see this.

    good luck, let us know how you do! I can confirm that the PDK subtracts 1% from the residual.. Just make sure you only pay a MF of .00200 the one dealership I went to yesterday marks theirs up to .00240 saying that is how their financial department makes money, complete BS
