Hi there,

Can you please help. What is a step by step procedure to become leasing auto broker. What type of license do i need (retail or wholesale)? Do i need auto broker endorsement or something else? I just passed my pre-license dealer class in SoCal. But my teacher didn't know non about leasing cars. What is a typical lease auto broker fees for customers? I have seen some lease auto brokers charge $350 per deal and some says they get paid from dealers. If so, how much does they get paid by dealers %(+ or -). Any information will help. Thank you very much in advance. Eugene:

Seems like great lease deals are great... at least for the dealer.
Let's say a dealer agrees to a price $1000 lower than MSRP, about a 3.5% discount, then gets the customer to sign over any applicable rebates and incentives to the dealer. If those amount to $2400, then the dealer is getting not only MSRP for his car, but $1400 over MSRP! So then the benevolent dealer "pays" the drive-off fees for the lessee: 1st month payment plus doc fee plus title/license plus $500 cash down payment, maybe a total of $1400. In that case, the dealer just made a full price MSRP deal. And if he buys the nice, late model, low mileage lease return from the finance company or factory rep, the car he just took in on the deal, maybe he can make a nice profit on it too.

To fulfill the contract without penalty, some banks require you to take it until end of term.
