Salesman told me its a good deal compare to my 2.9% financing.

I got an okay deal?

 

Not bad! Regardless, you got it. Enjoy!

 

Great price on the car

I wish California had trade-in tax credits...

 

congrats on the car.

 

Agree- I think you overpaid close to $100/mo. according to my lease calculator. + or - a few $ depending on reg and doc fees.

 

He went $832 out of pocket capitalizing the acquisition fee, that's how he did it. Roll it in to amortization and you would find the figures to be right on.
True, I know Texas, New York, and I think Arizona (amongst other states) has this, but it's not like that here in Cali.

Congrats OP!

 

Arizona? I don't think so... or maybe the dealer didn't tell me about this when I got my car....

 

^^ That Blue Slate isn't looking so sexy anymore, huh? :P J/P

 

That is one expensive acquision fee!!! i got quoted $900 total out of pocket plus $541 per month (including tax) for a car with a $44910 msrp. i plan on picking it up early next week. 24 month lease 12k miles via IFS. i have a 750 FICO score... i live in so cal.

 

The acquision fee is $595.
In Texas, we pay full amt tax of the car when leasing.
I guess its the MF being high maybe? I have 720 FICO

 

there it is. FULL TAX. ouch!!!! i'm glad i live in cali!!!

 

Just learned something... ouch +1!!

 

tax hurts regardless of where you pay it.

I personally avoided all taxes :] buy in missouri, register at home (in hawaii).

 

Didn't you say you only paid $399 in tax? I'm no expert but this seems high, especially with only a $399 tax payment (vs $2500ish - what it would have been without the credit if I understood you correctly).

Anyway you people don't pay income tax so you can't complain.

 

I know right?! I wasnt so sure about leasing, but the salesperson told me the lease is much better off for me. Before the tax credit, I was quoted $751 per month as I remember. I'm no expert in leasing, thats why I asked whether I got a good deal, trying to figure out where went wrong if there is any. My total amt paid after 24 months is about $16000 according to the contract.
