Can you help with money factor information and residual values for the new 2014 Kia Cadenza.

CarMan@Edmunds

Sure gsim6784. Kia Financial Services' June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2014 Cadenza with 15,000 miles per year are .00091 and 59% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Kia is providing a $1,500 cash incentive on leases of this car right now. Make sure to take it into account when negotiating your vehicle's capitalized cost.

What would be a good deal for a 36 month lease with 12 k miles a year? I did not want to go over 349. A month for the lease payment. It's the luxury package I am looking at for the 2014 Cadenza.
Thanks

gsim6784

I can share the deal that we were able to get. After competitive car bonus and Kia lease bonus, the car (with the luxury package) was $33,630. We did a $0 upfront lease through Kia and the monthly rate is $391.19.

Did the Smokey Blue exterior and Beige interior. A very good looking car.

carchick5

Thanks. That helps me.

I would love to get some opinions on my ideas for what I should offer.

I just looked at a white guy with white leather. Impressed, although I haven't driven the car yet. Sticker is 41900 with destination (loaded). I am thinking as follows:

If I can get 4% off sticker that brings me to 40224. With the 1500 incentive from Kia plus a trade worth 2000 I would put down 3500. My tax rate is 8.63% (Suffolk County NY). The money factor is .00091 (2.184%). With a 59% residual comes to 24721. I make the payment for 36 mos to be 333.44 without tax, 362.22 with.

Does this sound doable? Should I start here? Any thoughts, comments or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I signed my lease last night. I did 3 k at signing and first month payment of 349.88. It's the premium package and sticker was almost 40k with tax. 12 k a year. Really cool car. Silver with black napa leather interior.

tictac3

Got a "base" model with black on black. 12K/36mos. Gave me $500 over book on my 2011 Sonata SE and a conquest bonus for my wife's Maxima lease. $329/mo all in.

xkwm

Can someone tell me what the lease payment would be? MSRP = $42,105.
Dealer will lease for 40,105 - $2500 in incentives = Net cap of $37,605. Money factor of 0.00091 for 15,000 mile 36 month lease. Putting down $3500 cash also. Thanks! Told residual factor is 59% for 15k a year.

I have a 2011 Optima on lease right now and of course the lease expires next year. I have seen the new optima and I like it EXCEPT for the lights being strangely misaligned in the back. My lease on a fully loaded SX is 446/mo. with their "Insurance". Im looking into an A4, CC, 2014 Optima or the Cadenza. I see you have all gotten your monthly payments BELOW mine which is weird. How or what can I get that out of a cadenza with 446/mo or less? Is it possible? I dont like base model cars.

CarMan@Edmunds

Hey xkwm. The money factor and residual value that you were quoted are spot on.

Let's crunch some numbers and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2014 Kia Cadenza that has an MSRP of $42,105 and a capitalized cost of $37,605 through Kia Financial Services right now for 36-months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $412.

You definitely do not want to put $3,500 down on a lease. If your vehicle is totaled for insurance purposes there's a good chance that the money that you paid at signing essentially disappears.

If you were to make a $2,500 capitalized cost reduction (at least $1,000 of what you're paying at signing is going to first month, fees, etc...), it would lower this car's monthly payment to around $340.

Car Man,

How do you keep from getting screwed? This is what the salesman sent me:

Thanks for stopping by again this afternoon. This is Matt Smith at Hart Kia. I have looked up the chances of finding or getting you a Cadenza in here and I have found one that I am hopeful I could get. The MSRP of it is 42105. I also calculated out the figures of the lease and what it would cost. The lease is 36 month, residual with 15k miles a yr is 59%, and the money factor is .00091. I can sell you the car 40100. That is $2005 off and allows us to earn 960 off of the Cadenza and on a lease all the earning for us is only what we have as profit unlike regular purchases. This will also include 1500 lease cash and a competitive or loyalty rebate of 1000.



12000 Miles year 15000 Miles a year

3500 only down 365 388





3500+ 1st payment 354 376

xkwm

Car Man,

I was with you on the first part where you said my payment would be $412. I hear you on the second part about cap cost reduction of $3500. When you came back with your example of $2500 with only $1,000 actually going as cap cost reduction, your math got fuzzy. There was no way that I could get downto $340 with $2500 down and assuming that only $1,000 went to the lease.

CarMan@Edmunds

Hi xkwm. If the dealer that you are currently working with is quoting you unreasonably high payments for this car you probably should comparison shop with a few other dealers.

CarMan@Edmunds

I think that you misunderstood what I was saying. I meant that $2,500 of the $3,500 was a capitalized cost reduction with a grand probably going to fees and first payment.

Okay thanks. I made the deal. The difference was the taxes, almost $1300. I feel good about the deal and the car is unbelievable. Thanks for your help!

ken117

Best not to put any down payment on a lease. You risk losing it if the vehicle is totaled. Make sure the lease includes GAP. If not, check with you insurance company. Dealers grossly overprice their GAP products

xkwm

All Kia's and Hyundai's have built in GAP protection. I don't see how GAP protection would help you if you put a large down payment on your car. What am I missing here? Seems like GAP would come into play when the insurance company is paying LESS than what you owe on the lease.

jc2527

Car_man,

Can you tell me the residual for 12k miles/yr lease and 10k miles/yr lease (36 months lease)? I'm looking for '14 Cadenza with luxury pkg.

Also - Is the MF still 0.00091?

jefk56

Hey, just wanted to thank all on here for the helpful info, as I leased a 14 Cadenza, that I already extremely like. 345 mo, includes taxes and 15k mi per year, 36 mo. I put 3145 down and that included 1st payment and aqu. fee. This was the Smokey blue w/ beige interior, lux and tech pkgs with mats, cargo tray, nets ,splash guards, door edges, etching and a couple other goodies. Own a 13 Sonata limited (wifes)very happy with that, figured this as Kia's entry to "semi lux", therefore leased and can't get burned if it has any flaws down the road. All scheduled maintenance is also covered.
I felt it was a very solid deal for a msrp of 42.1k.

gregpz

I got great deal on black Cadenza with luxury pack msrp $39160, price paid $33000
after $2000 competitive bonus. $285 monthly with no cap reduction, taxes and fees paid separately.
Very happy with the car, like it more then my wifes '13 Lincoln MKX. Very easy and intuitive voice command and luxurious ride.

marco27

Carman - can you understand how Gregpz above got a Cadenza w/Luxury for only $285 with no cap reduction? Greg- would love to know where you leased this and the details - seems like you did a great deal. Looking for myself - any help appreciated.

jefk56:

I'm located in Central New Jersey - looks like you are too based on your posts. Please let me know the KIA dealership and [if you have it] the salesman you worked with for your Cadenza lease. My lease is up soon and I'll need something for the new year.

Thanks very much.

jefk56

Freehold Kia. Salesman was r. Johnson, no longer there. He was very thorough, so I was surprised. Sales mgr. closed the deal, Anthony. I have to say though their aftercare has been non existent. I had to call to find out plates were in after 3 weeks. They also owe putting door edge guards on and have been less than communicative. Not end of world, but disappointing.
Like I stated though, felt it was a fair deal bottom line.

ann1980

I am leasing a 2012 Optima SX Turbo with a 39 month lease and 15,000 miles a year. Completed 2 years on the lease. Mileage is at 32,500 miles. Dealer says I have negative equity in the car. He is trying to talk me into upgrading to a Cadenza SXL. MSRP is 43,000. So far the deal is at 3,000 down and 460.00 a month payments on a 3 year lease and 15,000 miles a year. Not sure if this is very good. Probably should not put any money down but payments would go up. Need advice.

Premium model is .00095 MF and 56% residual for 36mo, 12K/yr. $3000 lease cash.

Wow - over $4K off sticker before the rebate? Nice negotiating.

Looks like you got yourself a fantastic deal ... enjoy your car!

barryli

Kia is offering a $1500 cash rebate this month on the purchase of a new Cadenza, combining that with the $1000 competitive rebate gives you $2500, how did you manage a $4000 rebate?

ryan_wash

barryli,

The dealers i worked with told me that the 1500 cash rebate is only for purchasing a Kia Cadenza. This month there is also a $3000 rebate if you lease a 2014 Kia Cadenza. So you add that $3000 lease bonus to the $1000 competitive and you get $4000. I have yet to see this rebate listed anywhere but the dealer told me about it.

Also the deal keeps getting better. I was glancing over the window sticker and noticed it said complimentary maintenance. I called the dealership and they said they knew nothing about it. So I submitted a question to kia at kia.com. They called me back and explained that the complimentary maintenance ended in march but because the window sticker still had it listed that they will honor it. So on top of everything I received free oil changes for 3 years or 37500 miles.

barryli

Hiding a $3000 rebate doesn't make much sense, does it?

ryan_wash

There are a ton of unadvertised incentives on cars these days. Makes sense to me if I m a dealer and want to pocket the extra cash.

All I know is they gave it to me. I don't know all the details about the rebate.

Leasing a 2014 Cadenza premium with luxury and technology package. MSRP $42160, Cap cost 32394 with rebates (5000 lease rebate +1000 loyalty). 49% residual, MF .00127, $1372 drive off includes 1st lease payment. 36 month lease 15k miles/yr for a payment of $393/month pre tax. Looks like a decent deal. Any thoughts? Should I negotiate further?
