My 225QR will be here in about 3 weeks. The price of the car is about $42k and I'm going to put $5k down. How much should my payments be? I'm in Atlanta, Ga. I'd like to be prepared before I head into the dealer.

My dealer gave me a print out of exactly what my payments would be a few months before car arrived?

an estimate of what you'll pay before financing charges (I'm pretty sure). Did this and dealer quoted me a price about $40 bucks higher, inline with what taxes should be. At least it'll be a good estimate.<p>94 Accord EX :<

I put $2,500 out of pocket
(first month, all taxes, all dealer/whatever
fees) and am going $670/month
for 36 months (15k miles/yr). The car
is just under 42k msrp.

People usually say an extra $1000 toward
the car itself is between $20 and $30 a month.

I think you can get a better deal but
my feeling is p'y not much better??

But hassle free, I have to admit. I put nothing down--just security deposit and fees--on my 225c, no options, which had a sticker of $37,500. Lease payments with 10 percent tax rate are $664. Three years, 12K miles/year.

I went there and then talked to a dealer, he laughed when I told him about the payment calculator.

The calculator on the site said:

MSRP: $41,550
Down: $5000
APR: 8.5%
TERM: 48
MILES: 15k
payment: $477.73

So I should accpet no more than $500 for a payment?
