I have about 19 months left on my '04 Crossfire Limited, 36-month lease. At the time I got a pretty sweet deal.

$500 down
$330/month (tax incl.)
12K miles/year

I am thinking about trading up for an SRT-6. The local dealers seem to have a bunch of '05 SRTs left and there's a lot of talk about deep discounts (10K-13K off MSRP)...

Do these deep discounts translate into good lease deals as well? Or purchase only? Does anyone know the residuals on '05 SRTs? Anyone leased an SRT lately?

I will go visit the dealerships soon, so I'll keep everyone posted on what they offer. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

i'm in the same boat waiting for my lease to end one my graphite so i can trade up on a SRT6. I think the deals would be better on a purchase because the money factor on the SRT6 is way different than the Limited therefore even at 31K the SRT lease might be still high. I'm planning to purchase the SRT6 when the lease on my Graphite is done. I have about a years worth of lease payments on my graphite.

 

Cost could be 5-7K difference you would lose! I'd wait or buy one with big discount and keep both! You're going to pay for the LTD either way!
