Premier may be able to find you a low mileage/low price one as well as they write mucho paper on exotics and know everyone who is anyone.

With no idea as to the depreciation of a new model I would say that a 50% residual is being conservative and good business on their part. A three year residual on a secondary market 360 Spider is about 70% with a cost of money of about 6% and change. Regardless of the high (good) residual in the 360's case (that is high btw, Bentleys are written at 50% over five years) the payments will be staggering - you are floating a big chunk of cash there, eating depreciation and paying interest on all of it. Just find a lease calc on line and run the numbers yourself. Or give Katz a call at Premier. He is probably as % competitive as anyone.

sounds bad - first - I heard that they are discounting cars under sticker (don't know if this is true?) second you are paying 56k over two years to drive a car worth 80k and you have nothing after two years. Genrally short leases (24 months) are bad becuase the majority of depreciation occurs in the first year or two and they are forced to recover it from you. I would say try a 36 month lease with 8k down and you should get close to 1k to 1100 per month. That is what you will get on a 36 month lease of an 84k MB S500. This way you have a car for 3year and pay 48k total.

Rick,
actually it doesn't sound that crazy....

the $8000 down is for tax and licensing (10%)
so you practically receive the car for free.

the monthly $2K for 24 months is the depreciation
value of the car and the time cost of money - ($48K total).

declare it into a company car and earn some tax deductions - then you may justify the expense even more (BTW - disclaimer - i'm no tax accountant)

It's simple. They know that their cars will be worth nothing used, so they give you low residuals. They have to...

I just got off the phone with my dealer and he gave me these figures:

$84,000 sticker
24 month lease
$2000 per month

Am i missing something or are they crazy?

hard to say since they are not advertised in the paper - as discussed before - leasing is not diff than buying - nego the best price for the car (don't tell them lease), then find out the money factor and residual for a lease. You want a money factor that translates into a reasonable interest rate - most IR prob about 8%, though manufactures (prob not maser) will "subvent" this rate to bring it down sometimes to 0. Then get a reasonalbel residual - ie after 2 years the car is worth XX of its orginal price - say 80%. then you are done. You are better going and getting the terms and letting people opine on it then

Since the car is new, your best source for leasing would probably be the dealer.

Rick,
Is the car new? Amount of payment will vary depending your credit history.

Does anyone know what is the best deal around on a 02 coupe for a 24 month lease no money down?
