Default 07 5.7 LEASE? Anyone Here Lease

I prefer to lease my cars and get a new one every 2 to 3 years.. I have never leased a truck but I'd imagine the rates cant be good... however with all the rebates I may find a good deal.

Anyone here have residuals/money factors on these trucks?

Any leasers here?

i leased an 06 5.5% interest for 3 yr 36k. only reason i leased because i was in a backwards loan and it got my payment down alot. got me out of a baackwards loan and when 3 years is up i take the truck back and get something else or i can buy it afterwards for book value. not bad... the sticker price was $34000 i ended. i owed $8k on my trade in they gave me $4500. i ended up walking out with the truck for $27500 all said an done. so basically they dropped $11k with rebates... not to shabby.....

I am trying to find one in that dark blue color and leather interior... will dealers add the leather to a truck that is equipped with cloth?

Due to the miles we drive in Texas I'm not a lease person. A GM smartbuy nearly ate my lunch. With that being said, I went in and bought my truck with a sticker of nearly $28k. Got $6k in rebates then leased the truck which gave me another $5k in rebates. 3 weeks later I refinanced with my credit union at 5% and bought out the lease. Basically, I got a new truck for a little over $17k and after installing a few items plus what the dealer forced me to buy with their add ons (another $1k or so), I bought my truck for $18,500.
Check the Dodge website and see what rebates they are giving. There is a cash and lease tab. If you can find a dealership that will combine the two, you can make out like a bandit.
Throw enough money at them and a dealership will install pretty much anything you want. Heck, I was even talking them into swapping wheels and tires from another truck on the lot before I went with the one I finally bought.
If I remember correctly - all I was concerned with was the bottom line price of the truck - the dealership was going to put the lease at 7% (give or take) which gave a $350ish payment. That was two years ago though. We were not fighting them on the interest rate since we were not even going to make the first payment. I also bought a work edition truck.

Trucks lease fine some are better then others and you really need to check into the company that the lease is through , I lease a 2003 GMC2500HD ext.cab for $400 a month its a 63 m lease ( i have never gone that high before) and will be do up soon i had a 2000 fordF150 i tradede in they gave me what i owed plus a extra $1000, my son just leased a 07 Ram QC 1500 for $314 for 27months he traded in a 1994chevy 1500 plus $500 down not sure on either one all the stuff but i have leased alot and for the most part have had good luck , like i said i have never gone as much as 63 months before always around 36 but to get a low payment i needed to go the extra time i will be trading this in soon so if anything happens in a week i'll write back .
