Can you tell me the money factor and residual for 2005 Pilot EX-L for 36 months/15k per year? I believe the Dec. numbers ended Jan. 5.
Thanks,
John
10 or 12,000 miles a year work for me. I doubt I'll even drive that many with this car.

Found out the residuals dropped down 2% on the MDX to 57% (Touring) and 58% (Base Model), everything else remains the same.
MF=.0023/MSRP (Touring) $40k/Neg Price = $37,475/42m/$12k miles/$540m
For the Base Model Neg. Price was $34,300/Monthly Pymt $500m
Thanks in advance.

The dealership was offering me around 250 a month for 48 months....i'm curious how you get around 264 for 36months?
Is that normal to have a higher monthly payment if i'm leasing for only 36 months vs 48months?

This is the latest on my negotiations for a MB E320 Wagon. I don't have any other information yet other than MSRP and monthly lease rate. Here are the details:
2005 E320 Wagon
MSRP $58,510
includes Sunroof Pkg., Navigation, Entertainment Pkg, Heating Pkg.
Terms of Lease: 36 Months, $0 Down, 12K Miles per year, $688 per month. At signing $688 1st month payment, $895 Acquisition Fee, $443 MV fees for term of lease, $7.50 NJ Tire Tax. I have used TMV, dealer incentives, and MB money factors. The only way I can get to this rate is by heavily discounting the Cap Cost and using a very high residual. This looks like an excellent deal and I am ready to sign. Any guidance would help. Thanks again, RNW
I also waiver between the whole lease concept vs. buying, I've always purchased.
(I will tell you that I've been to several Cadillac dealerships and have been gravely disappointed in their inability to sell a car, answer questions, "Professionalism???"...lack of calling back, etc. That's the topic for another discussion and a long letter to the chief of Cadillac's sales division which I'm more than willing to write: its really been abysmal and I'm exactly the kind of buyer Cadillac is or should be catering to... 49yrs old(and holding), six figure income, learned how to drive on my parents' cadillacs, want to buy US and I actually own GM stock!!!)
In Florida, does one pay sales tax on the full price of the lease or just the initial transactions at the dealer?
Thanks in advance.

1. What does the $1500 allowance apply to--does it cover the tires, or do I need to get new tires?
2. I may have a friend that is interested in purchasing the car. It is my understanding AHFC will not sell directly to a third party. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this transaction?
Thanks.
In researching the invoice and TMV prices on a 2004 G35 AWD premium package on edmunds I found that these prices were higher than what the dealer has quoted me. I was quoted $31,921 from a dealer in my area in IL on the 04 AWD with prem.package. However, when I looked this up with the options and all, I got a invoice price of $32,745 and TMV of $32,496. Did I do something wrong or do dealers generally sell under invoice?? Please advise. Zip used was 60435.
Thanks
I'm not an expert by any means, but I believe that in most cases, you'll need to purchase the car yourself and then sell it to your friend. You might want to check into whether this is a better deal for your friend - if your end-of-lease purchase price is less than the asking price for the same vehicle on used car lots, he could save some money (assuming you sell it to him for the same price as your end-of-lease purchase price).
If you don't purchase it, this car will end up on a dealer's lot, and your friend will have to purchase it from the dealership.

Review your vehicle
"Hi CarMan. I was wondering if you had the January lease numbers for Acura. I've been offered a 2005 Acura TL w/NAVI for $33,000 (this is in NJ). Looking into 36 or 39 month lease, no money down. What are the residuals and money factors with AHFC for January?" Also, out of curiosity, what would a 24 month lease look like?
You said the ad indicated $3100 "out of pocket". Is it "due at signing" or "cap cost reduction". There's a big difference there, as due at signing would indicate your down payment plus first month, acq. fee, and DMV fees. Cap cost is just your down payment. (I should say that carman is going to advise you not to make ANY type of down payment, with very good reason.)
Anyway, if it is a $3100 cap reduction (down payment), that's about $60 or so a month right there. Now, your $2800 higher MSRP on the vehicle you are looking at is probably worth at least another $25 or so. Also, your $568 probably includes taxes, whereas the $399 does not. That probably adds in the range of $30-40 a month on this lease. Another factor is the mileage. Many of the leases you see advertised include 10,000 miles a year as the basis. Anything more is an increase in price. This also does not take into account the possible differences in this month's lease program.
Anyway, there are TONS of factors to explain the possible differences (and one may be that you are getting taken by your dealer
I am FAAAAAR from an expert, but I wanted to throw my .02 in.
Need Rates & Residuals on 2005 A4 Cabriolet 1.8T, 3.0 and S4 versions if you can post them now.
Thanks.
Is there any way to turn the car in early on the purchase of a GM pre-owned vehicle ... since GM owns Saab? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Honey, that is what leasing is all ABOUT! Congratulations for not being over mileage.
No go and buy somethign nice with good resale... or go buy a nice USED car with lousy retail.

Appreciate all the hand-holding here.
I went to five local Mazda dealers in the metro Los Angeles area. While they all replied with generic, 'thanks for contacting us' e-mails, nobody sent the quote I was looking for.
I sent a second e-mail. I've got two quotes, one of which only mentions the price of the car and no lease terms. A third response, 'from the worlds biggest seller of Ford cars,' insists on doing this on the phone.
my wife had no problem doing an internet deal for a Lexus. is it because I'm looking at a cheaper car?
any suggestions? maybe AutoNation?
thanks,
valleydriver
MSRP 21162
Selling Price 19900
Residual 11544.50
Money Factor .00077
36 months
15 000 miles per year
They're offering me $299 per month with $0 down and they pay the first payment. Is this a good deal? What would a good deal be? I guess the bottom line is : What should I pay per month for this lease? Thanks in advance.

I have received conflicting info from Lexus, BMW & Volvo. Regarding Multiple Security Deposits in NY.
BMW Dealer said it's not legal in NY Lexus - said they don't do it anymore Volvo - said SURE! leave 10 sec deposits, monthly lease payment will be reduced by about $65!! (So if he is correct is must be legal right?)
Here is my question: Do you (or any one else on the boards) know the truth and/or law about MSD in New York??
Here is what I found on the various websites:
From the BMW website:"Multiple Security Deposits are limited by law in the state of New York"
From the Volkswagon website:"The total allowable security deposit in New York is $749"
From the volvo website:"The Multiple Security Deposit Program may not be available in all areas"
Thank you in advance. Grover
I forgot to mention sales tax is 7% of selling price here.
Thanks.
Do you have the lease incentives for a 9-5 Aero wagon w/ auto, and 9-5 arc wagon? Also do you have residual and MF info? Are there any saab loyalty cash incentives? TIA
I've been given a quote on a three year, 12,000 mile per year lease on a Chrysler 300C AWD of $504 per mo (not including tax). The MSRP is $37,300 and I would be paying the tax, plates and first month payment at delivery. I live in Ohio. I think this is a pretty good deal (through Chrysler Financial), but wanted to check with the expert (YOU) before I pull the trigger. Thanks for your help!

Dealer here has to order new and has quoted me a MSRP of 35,194 including destination charge of 695.00, Right now I have them down to $34,194. Their 36 month lease has a MF of .0018 and a residual of 21,027. Total taxes and tags would be $1554.68, which I could pay in cash, bringing pmt to about $506. Seems high to me and according to some online lease calculators. Deal or not? Can I get more off MSRP?
