Overhaulin'

Can you haggle prices on a lease price for a new car or is it set?

I know that you can negotiate a sale price for a car, but what about a lease price? What would it depend on?

1. Sure, everything is negotiable. How well depends on how good you are as a negotiator. One thing it depends on is your credit rating.
2. I'm no expert but certainly in my experience you can haggle the price and the finance down a a grand or so, depends on the dealer and the salesman. Also your talent in negotiation, Good Luck though
3. Most of these companies expect you to haggle, and add on 'haggle' money. Go for it, you will probably be really surprised.
4. GOOD Question! I am sure you can haggle on the lease,but they get you in the end with a buyout or interest,its all a numbers game to trick you I notice alot of dealers want you to lease,the monthly payments are low,and yo have to pay at buy out fee in the end if you want to buy it out,and its very EXPENSIVE. I was told the payments are based on the depreciating price of the vehicle,thats what they charge,and milege,if you go over heir limit. Remember,when you lease you OWN NOTHING,YOU are RENTING,SO IF YOU CANT WRITE IT OFF,Dont bother,a wealthy friend of mine,leases cars all the time,told me to BUY my vehicle,since i had no way to write it off. Thats the only advise i can say,hope it helps
5. Why you may be able to negotiate the sale price, when it comes to leasing you are pretty well locked in. You may be able to haggle on down payment. You shouldn't lease buy no sense in waisting your money, paying on a car you will never own, unless you buy at the end of the lease, and then they are really going to put it to you,and you will end up paying for the car again.
