Default Those with recent leases with very low money factors......

How did you folks get leases with money factors in the .00025-.00035 range?
Was it with Audi Financial? The best they could do was .0008....
Did you get very low residuals to go with your low MF?

As a leasee, I don't care what the numbers are as long as the payment is low---but how did you people get such a low interest rate?

Default Residual on 39 mo. is 52%; MF was .00025 from Audi Financial. A couple of dealers

wouldn't budge below .00035 so I walked, but most were able to give me the .00025...

Default Hey, Maybe you can help with a question I'm having...

Hey guys, am I doing anything wrong here? Here are the numbers;

MSRP: 47,535
Residual: 24,718.2 (52%)
Net Cap Cost: 43,000
MF: .00025
39 mo. lease
Tax: 8.5% (I'm in NY)

The dealer has given me a monthly lease number of $531.38. However, everytime I do the math I'm getting $526.97. That's a $5.00+ diff. and I just can't figure it out. I know it's only 5 bucks, but that adds up to almost $200. over the lease term and I'd rather have it in my pocket. Here's how I got my Calc;

Step 1: Cap Cost
Take selling price and subtract any down payments (done)...$43,000

Step 2: Vehicle's Residual Value
Multiply full MSRP by its residual value percentage...24,718.2 (52%)

Step 3: Vehicle's Total Depreciation
Subract residual value from cap cost...18281.8

Step 4: Vehicle's Monthly Depreciation
Divide total depreciation by the number of months lease...468.764

Step 5: Interest Charges
Add vehicle's cap cost and residual value and multiply the result times the money factor...16.929

Step 6: Calculate Monthly Payment
Add the monthly depreciation and the monthly interest charges...485.69 (pre tax)

Step 7: Calculate Total Monthly Payment (with Tax)
Multiply monthly lease payment by tax % and add it to monthly lease payment...526.97

Am I doing something wrong, or is the dealer?

Your help is greatly appreciated,
JB

He probably built in a "dealer prep" charge that is about $180....
When was your lease done? Before 7/2 or after?

Also--use this calculator:

Default Lease was yesterday, 7/11. I just recalculated and you'rer right. there's an additional

$150. in the cap (43,150) Can they do this? if it's legit, I can still pay it upfront and bring my cap back to $43,000, correct? That's cool. I only put a deposit down yesterday. Guess I'll have to set this salesman straight on monday...

Default If I lease after 7/2, is the dealer's prep charge more of an automatic?
