just fees down: $1750 incl 1st payment
12k miles a year
$415 plus tax a month ($447.99 actual)
I don't like the residual at 51%
MF after converting came out to be 3.3%

What do you guys think? The residual is too low right? Should I wait fro the 09?

edit: it a base GSR btw

 

What is the purchase price of the vehicle? A 51% residual for 3 years 12k miles on these cars is the correct number. Normally it is difficult to negotiate the residual since it is set by the bank. The MF you are receiving is very good. At this rate I would suggest only negotiating the purchase price. All other factors look good in my opinion. Maybe someone else might be able to chime in on this. May I ask which financial institution you getting this from?

 

Depending on how much you plan to mod the car and what your financial goals are, if the 0% is still out there you might try for it.

The payment on 30k @ 0% = $500/month (you'll have TT&L to worry about with either maybe). At the end of 36 months you'll pay roughly $2000 more to "own" the car vs. the lease, but if the car is worth more than 16k, then you'll "have" that value (although technically you will with a lease as well).

 

this is a mitsibishi lease. sale price is 30599 right now.
