My lease plan was 577 per month





No thanks.....











Paper advertised as low as 350/month



Stupid fine print, I wasted my time..





Oh and they actually told me I'd have to pay a METALLIC PAINT SURCHARGE...... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png





I would have considered it if it was as good as the advertisement made it sound in the paper

So what was the catch?

as low as 350 per month with like a stupid ass amount of money down and a one million year lease



My more realistic downpayment and shorter lease yielded almost 600









I was just checking it out, I was shocked at the metallic paint surcharge





Like



Can I NOT pay? Will you remove the metallic please?





That's like selling you my used RX7 for 2000 bucks, but there is a wheel and tire surcharge youll have to pay thats 1000, cause it comes with wheels, so...

Thats stupid.

lol, dealer are desperate nowadays, you can get all their charges knocked off.



i do it for fun every now and then go and see just how cheap i can get a car, then im like "ahh screw it i like "such and such a car" better"



They have some great surcharges out their.



Here's something you probably all have paid for, "dealer prep". did you know dealer prep is already IN THE MSRP? The factory pays the dealer for the dealer prep, they add it onto your price and they make pure profit from you. They normally charge about $500 for it, if you read the contract stuff closely it actually tells you not to pay it.



The only places not fun are saturn and scion...they have solid pricing, no up or down, just a set price.



kevin.

Haha. I love my work. I deal with this all day. I sell used cars, not new, so if somebody wants money off of a vehicle because it has a scratch, I tell them that is the price you see. These are used cars, AS IS. And they get all pissed off and buy the car anyways.



Oh, another thing, never EVER pay Freight for a new car. Why are you going to pay for something that is already there?? If you ordered it specifically that is ok.



But if you try to "negotiate" prices with somebody, if you have a trade in, all dealerships will **** you over on it.



Colin- Buy a different car. I wanted an 8 for a while, but realized that is not worth it.

The only paint that's free is black I think....



The rest are $105 but the white is $200.

I always just assumed paint came with the car. I mean its not like an option. "hold the paint"

Check out Mercedes. $900 for some colours.

Chrysler has some different paints that cost extra. The Linen Gold Pearl Coat is an extra 3-400 bucks, and the Inferno Red on the T&C, and Crossfire is an extra 220 bucks. Just more money into the paint that is all.



I never looked at the extra money for the paint on the White RX-8's.



COLIN- Why would you want a lease? They will **** you over when you turn it back in. If you have more miles than what is allowed, they charge you like an extra few cents every mile over. Imagine 5k miles over your lease limit, that is alot of money. Leases are shitty. Did you try to finance it Colin? You would probably get better results that way.
