I am looking at getting out of my lease on my acura tl type s very shortly and was wondering what you guys were paying on your leases? I don't believe in putting anything down on a lease, and like to have 15,000 a year on the contract. What is the best you guys have managed to work out and also on the pricing of the car how low. I am wanting auto with navi, aero package, and sport package. Thanks

 

Just leased one. Coming in soon...

'06 G35 Coupe - 6MT - DG - Graphit Leather - Navi - Premium - Aero - Rear Active Stear - Sirius - Trunk Mat
MSRP 40680

2995 Down (Covers Tax, Tags & Fees, Sec Dep, Acquisition Fee)
57% Residual
.00219 Money Factor
526.5 a month

Calculated Cap Cost... 38500. Not bad for this car in my area...
2100 under MSRP or about 1000 over invoice according to Edmunds.

06 g35x navi prem, 35,700, exactly invoice.
mf .00210
59% residual, 39 months, 12k yr
No money down, sign and drive,
515.63 month, all inclusive, TTT dmv etc.

 

I appreciate the feedback. Any one else?

 

Why don't you believe in putting any money down on a lease? If you don't put anything down, you just finance more of the depreciation and pay higher monthly payments with more interest.

I just put $10k down on a lease, resulting in a $300 monthly payment (fully loaded '06 6MT) and far less total interest paid over the course of the lease. I could have certainly gone with some long term investment with the down payment and exceeded the effective 5.16% APR, but to me the lower monthly payment was worth it.

 

Your last sentence is exactly the reason I too do not believe in putting any money down on a lease. It takes a little work to manage your portfolio, but you will be much better off in the long run, IMHO. Borrowing is cheap these days. It wont always be that way, so take advantage now.

Best offer I ever got with 0 down on a $40250 MSRP 06 (Premium, NAV, Aero, Active-steer) was $611 (tax included @ 7.95%). I've decided to wait until April after I pay my insane state and federal tax bill to get the car.

 

$473/mo with $5500 down...wanted to keep it in-line with previous lease payment on '03 350Z which was coming up due in a few months...got early term.

I don’t know about the 06’s but I was able to lease an 05 G35 Sedan automatic with Premium, Aero, and Sport packages for $460 a month in may of 05. This was a zero money down, no bank fees, taxes included in the $460 lease. I paid $460 and the lease is for 39 months 15K per year. These $500+ payments I hear sound very steep to me.

 

Back in Aug, i was quoted 470-485 for 05 g35x with prem and navi.(all inclusive, taxes/fees baked in) Same car in 06 in November i wound up paying 515. Depends on what yer lease number are like that month and what kind of stock the dealers have on hand.
Back in late summer was the perfect storm, low MF 112-139, high residuals, 58%, factory incentives resulting in sale prices 1500-1000 below invoice, and relatively high stock levels.

I suspect the killer lease deals will come back next fall when 07s are available.
