I'm looking for a new vehicle before the end of the month, and wonder if you could provide me with a couple money factors/residuals. I'm interested in:
Chrysler Pacifica FWD, 39 mo/ 12k miles
Toyota Highlander FWD 4 cyl, 36 mo/12 miles
Honda Accord LX 5sp, 36 mo/12 miles
I know Toyota is advertising a 48 mo lease on the Highlander, but I'm not interested in going much if at all over 3 years. I live in the Detroit area, if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help.

Next, we have the Toyota Highlander. Toyota's lease program varies by region. It is only providing lease money factor support on this vehicle in certain regions. I have not seen if it is providing any special lease money factors on this model in the Detroit area, but if it is its supported factor is probably between .00150 and .00175. For now I will tell you what its standard lease program is like. If you were to lease a 2004 Toyota Highlander Base FWD through Toyota Financial Services this month for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00220 and 59%, respectively.
Last but not least we have the 2004 Honda Accord. If you were to lease an '04 Accord LX Sedan through American Honda Finance Corp. this month for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease money factor and residual value should be .00146 and 58%, respectively.

I'm surprised (and pleased) that the residual on the Pacifica is 51% - for some reason I thought it was lower, being non-AWD.
I don't know anything about dealer stairstep programs (and this probably isn't the place to ask), but if it results in dealers 'anxious' to deal, it's gotta be a good thing.
Really appreciate your help.
That is EXACTLY what he said!!! He said "I can't even get the 66 month finance deal, let alone the .00020 rate". Grrrr, thanks carman, once again, you have been a big help to me. This dealer is really starting to be a pain.
Also I live in IN is 1400 lease rebate available here?
Now I can only hope that they put some lease support behind this car and the MF goes down between now and taking delivery at the end of the month or the beginning of April.
Thanks for your insight.
Can you give me Infiniti's lease terms for March on the G35 Coupe?
I am looking for a the money factor and residual values for both 36 and 48 month lease terms as well as for 12k and 15k miles.
Thanks!
I am not trying to help a friend who is interested in a F-150 XLT 6.5 SB. Would you be able to provide me with the MF and residual for this truck based on 12K and 15k miles a year for 36 and 48 months (4 combinations)? Also, what is Fords lease aquisition fee? I will also be researching a possible purchase of this vehicle.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the information. The MSRP on the 330cic is $47,045.00. Purchase price is $46045.00. I am looking for a 36 or 42 month lease and 15k miles per year. Can you calculate the monthly cost for me? Thanks so much.
In a lease, is the higher M/F better for the buyer??
Is the higher Residual better for the buyer?
Car_man... if you could take time and clarify
And, for a 15K/yr, 36month, 0 down lease, the same dealer quoted me $460/month with a M/F of 0.0006 and residual $17,345 (58%approx.)
So, is this a good lease offer?
What does the M/F and Residual say?
Thanx in advance
I am looking to lease a civic vp auto 4 dr. They are selling for 12.6k (in edmunds what did you pay townhall). The acquisition fee is $575 and the residual is 8,109. Money factor is 0.00017 (.00017 is correct I have verified with a couple of dealers). I was wondering if you could help me figure out the lowest monthly payments. The best quote I have right now is $127/month for 36 months with $1500 down for 12k miles/yr. However, I believe I can do better given that Honda has incentives going on and that it is selling for around 12.6k. Could you please help and tell me the lowest I can get given this price. Also, per advise here if I put zero down what can I expect my payments to be. Thanks in advance.
I am neg a 2004 tl lease - msrp-33,195, selling price-31,500 for 42 months/17,000 miles, zero down.
Can you let me know what res% and MF I should expect?
It would be great if you could help me calculate the lease payment. The sales tax for my area is 7%. However, my sales rep is telling me that it will be 10%--Is there an additional tax above state/county tax?
Thanks!!!!
Thanks for your recent help on an A4. I am looking at a 36 month lease, with 12,000 or 15,000 miles. I was at the dealer today and they told me the residual on the A4 Quattro is higher than the CVT, and that the money factor is lower, making the Quattro more affordable on a lease.
Specifically, they told me on a 36 month 12,000 mile lease, the residual is 56% on the Quattro and 54% on the CVT.
Can you confirm the residuals and money factors for the A4 for both the Quattro and CVT for a 36 month 12,000 and 15,000 mile lease?
So far, with your help, the dealer knocked $40 a month off, but I hope to do better. Thanks so much for your help.
you quoted earlier a residual of 50% and money factor of .00195 on a 48 month 12000 mile lease.
Using these numbers i get a payment of 423.67.
But the dealer quoted me a price of 454.85 What gives here are the numbers i used
MSRP-33195.00, sales price-32300.00, cap cost reduction- 1000.00, adjusted cap cost- 31300.00, money factor- .00195, residual 50%, term- 48 months 12k, sales tax 6%. Please help me out with any ideas on why these figures are so far off any help well be appreciated.
Also I have very good credit so i dont think this should be a factor. If I am using the wrong numbers please provide the right numbers. Thanks

The MSRP for my 1.8T Quattro with Premium, sport, lighting is $32420, the selling price is $29993.
And to lease it for 36months, 15K/yr, 0 down, the dealership offered me a M/F of 0.00020 and residual of 17,344.80 and a monthly payment of $460
What do you think?
Capital cost: $29,993-17,345=12,649=$351.36/month
Money cost: ($17,344+29,993)*.0002=$9.47/month
Total: $360.83/month

I would be more than happy to calculate a sample lease payment for you on the exact Murano that you are interested in. However, in order for me to do so, I need a little additional information from you first, namely this model's selling price. You should be able to get a good idea of what this vehicle is going for right now by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the New Vehicle Pricing section of this site.
