What's the average lease payment for 996 & 996TT if you have excellent credit? With no down, 18" wheel and cd-changer.

I have seen 996 leases for under $900 with zero down. This is probably for a car with zero options($68K). A Turbo with $120K sticker would probably be about $1600/month . Both estimates are based on zero down and 48 month term.

My 63 month lease is $1279 a month. This includes the ridiculous 10% Pennsylvania tax on each lease payment, gap insurance, fees, etc. I did put $8000 down though... when I move to NJ next year, the monthly payments go down because NJ lease tax is much less. My 2001 turbo had 4900 miles, perfect condition (except for a slight paint chip caused by the front license plate bracket) and pretty much no options except the crests and all the seat options.

McKenna Porsche dealer's money factor rate is .00350 for 36mo. Is it too high for a used 01 Porsche Turbo w/12k miles on it? I have excellent credit, but everywhere I check online is around .00259

I got 6.25% (/2400 for money factor) from Porsche leasing in February. I thought rates had gone down not up since then...

I'm not sure about my credit rating (above average I hope), but here's what Porsche Financial offered me for my 2002 996TT.

$26k down (included, 1st month payment, license fees, sales & luxury taxes) drive off.

$1450/month (tax included) for 36 months lease, 12k miles, with residual at the end of lease = $78k.

The way I've looked at it is you pay NOW or LATER, since I don't have a large amount for downpayment. I found this isn't a bad way for getting my "dream" car!

Good luck

Pizmo, do you mean $2,600 down or $26,000 down? What's your money factor and buying price?

Btw, what's your monthly payment and buying price, Alan?

Alan,

$26,000 down, and monthly payment of $1455!
I'm not sure what $$ factor they used though. But, like i've said...residual = $78,000 if I wanna own it at the end of the lease.

That sounds like they bent you over and raped you multiple times!. You never want to put money down on a lease (I learned the hard way) and the money factor they are charging you is a complete and total rip off. I don't want to go into how leasing works, but basically the dealer marks up the money factor so the finance manager can make as much money as possible. Leasing directly from a dealer is never a good way to get a deal on your lease. I just used a specialty leasing company that I have used a numbers of times and leased a 2002 TT optioned up to $124k. The monthly payment with 0 down (sales and lux tax included in lease) is $1,615 and my residual on a 5 year lease is $68,550. Email me if you want my contact person.

If you lease a car through Porsche Financial is there a fixed money factor at any given time or can the dealer mark up the interest rate and receive a financial incentive for doing so?
