Saw today that the supported lease on a 2005 RL($599/mo for 48mos) has been pulled out of the offer list. Anyone hear or see anything indicating Acura is going to do some other factory support...different special lease, lower MF, etc?
Thanks in advance for any info...

One more thing-- my MSRP and selling price have gone up a bit since my post--more options.!. Now at $51360 with selling price of $49283. The $2000 up front was not a down payment but rather a ballpark estimate of the fees you describe.
Where my calculations fall apart is the taxes. I am subject to 8.75% State and county sales tax on and a 6% per payment Chicago "lease tax".
I have ordered the car and locked in the .00211 MF and 61% residual until I take delivery.
Could you calculate the monthly including tax for me, based on these numbers and associated taxes?
Thanks again--you provide an invaluable service.
I found this leasing special from Edmunds.com
$679 Monthly Payment Calculate Other Monthly Payments
39 Month Term

10000 Annual Mileage

can you please provide more detail on this special?
What if I want to extend the Annual millage from 10k to 15k?
How to calculate the monthly payment from the money factor?
Thanks so much for your help.

Was looking for your opinion on this potential lease, I have been shopping around and here are the final ones I was offered, which sounded the best. You advice and help in advance is greatly appreciated. This is on a BMW Z4 3.0 Roadster...

or
Option #2
MSRP 48545

When is $2500 not $2500?
When $1000 is Oldsmobile loyalty cash, and $500 is active military cash.
So friggin typical.
Oh well I guess $1000 is better than nothing.
I have a question that is on page 1062 #21213.
Can you check it out?
Thanks...Paul
Does anybody know if this is a legitimate fee or is the salesman just padding the deal?
Thanks.

In other words, he wants $200 profit over my deal.
But my leasing deal is a great one. I'm surprised he agreed to it so I will probably swallow my pride and just cough it up.
My car would have to be ordered and it would take about 2 months for it to arrive.
Thanks gtshark.

Also interested in the Grand Cherokee Limited as well, do you have a current money factor/residual on that? Thanks for the help.
Of course, if he had just said "$1700 over is what it will take", instead of sneaking in the other $200, it would have been more upfront.
Don't feel bad.. Probably 3/4 of BMW dealers operate this way...

The dealer jumped at my deal. They really have to get rid of those 545's.
I have just one more dealer to "play" to see if I can get invoice + $1000-$1300. Several weeks ago, I told this dealer I was more interested in a 2006 330i than a 2005 545 and you should have seen his face drop!
The first dealer was honest because I knew enough to confront him after quickly looking up some of your previous posts on the 5 boards in which you indicate the acquisition fee is $625. I immediately called him back and confronted him about the extra $200 but he was determined to keep it in there.
You are correct. He was honest about it "later."
I would also roll the acquisition fee into the cap. cost as you suggest.
By the way the car I want must be ordered because of my options. Do you know when the cut-off is for putting in an order on a 2005 545?
Thanks,

You can always get the vehicle fixed on your own, inspectors can tell where previous repairs were, that is fine as long as they are not poor repairs.
I'm looking at a G35 but am unsure whether to purchase or lease the vehicle. I'd probably only keep it for 3 years and then either sell it or turn it in and step up to a family car/suv at that time. Can you help narrow down my decision? Assume 3.75% for purchasing. Ideally, I'd like to get my payments as low as possible.
2005 G35 Coupe 6MT w/ premium package + aero + nav unit
MSRP: 38,960
I'd like to get it under $35k, but unsure how successful I'll be. Can you give me information based on MSRP? I can probably modify your information for whatever price I can get out of them. Is there anywhere I can go to see what other people are getting a similar G35 for? I noticed you had a link like that for Lexus.
Thanks!!
My dealer in GA says it is not available...Please check and see if it is available. Thanks

I'm in the Chicago area -- my understanding is that this is in the North Central Region and I should have these GMAC capitalized cost reductions available to me. Can you confirm?
If I understand correctly, as an example, I should be able to lease a GMC Envoy XL Denali for the GM Employee Discount Price, less the $2,500 cash allowance, less the $1,250 capitalized cost reduction for a lease? Or is it the Employee Discount Price less the $1,250?

Thanks so much for hosting this board; it is really helpful. Could you give me your thoughts on the following proposed lease from a dealer:
2006 BMW 325I, Automatic, Metallic Paint and Power Seats-
MSRP- $33,740
Purchase Price- $33,240.00+ttt
36 month Lease= $515.31+tax w/12K miles/year w/ $1,009.38 total down.
Money Factor=.00290
Residual= 63% or $21,256.20.
Thanks!
Hi, I posted a few days ago about a Navigator , but I didn't get a response. ( Believe me I understand, you're crazy busy! )
I was wondering if you could help me out.
Here's what I need ( thanks in advance so much! )
05 Navi Ultimate 4x2, no navigation. ( Why would a Navigator need Navigation, after all? )
36 Month residual & MF. 12k miles per year.
Plus here's what I have so far.
MSRP 54695
Sale Price 44000
Seems good to me - whaddaya think?
Also I'm in Texas, and apparently on Navigators here right now, you don't pay the regular 6.25% tax, you just pay some 1.2% state fee. I dont understand that, but I like it. Ever here of it?
Thank you!!

I'll be looking forward to another friendly members response as well though.
I did look up the Prices Paid for the Navi, but didn't find much recent info, so I figured I'd double check here. I'm happy with the price , so it's no biggie if there's no feedback on that front.
Thanks!

if you want to take a look at my question that would be great.

thanks,

1. Volkswagen does not allow lease transfers in the last 8 months of the lease or something like that. (I remember checking and seeing I was past whatever deadline they had).
2. I have someone who is willing to buy the car for what I owe on the vehicle (residual, remaining payments, etc.). Basically, I net out 0 and get out of the lease early. win-win.
If they were to buy the car, would it be taxed twice due to it being two transactions? The first being VW charging me for tax on the residual (which, apparantly in CT needs to be assesd when the title is transferred from the lien holder, VW, to me) and the second being upon transfer of title from me to the people who just paid for it.
I have yet to contact the DMV (tomorrow I'll do it), but wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts or experience on this.
Thanks in advance,
Wanting to lease an LR3. Nothing down. 750 + fico. Sticker price is $54,945. We have an x-plan price of $52,039. Plenty of income.
What type of money factor should I expect?
(I keep getting quotes of 0.00329 or so, which seems really high! I would hate to get a great deal, then get hosed on the financing!!!)
If I were you, I would click on "Forums" and then click on "Land Rover" and then go to the "Land Rover LR3, Prices Paid & Buying Experiences" thread.
People there may be able to tell you if .00329 is about right for this vehicle or whether the dealer has padded it for extra profit.
Re-post what you wrote here, over there.
