    It is for a 2011 Sonota GLS package 1 lease, which is the basic one(the dealership told us they were cheaper than the 2012 but then another dealership told us that wasn't true)

    Price: $21,680
    they gave it to us for $19,235 minus the rebate ($1500 which doesn't add up) so it ends up being $17,995 with the rebate
    Monthly price: $256
    Money factor: .00021
    residual: 50%
    Lease end value: $10,840
    We would have to put down $595 (which includes first payment)

    ANother dealership contacted me and when I told them about the deal they said they could do $256 a month with $500 down and I asked about the residual and he said 50% but he wouln't tell me the money factor (he said he didn't know that he just went to his manager to see if he could do it amd the manager gave him only what he told me---BS)

    Anyways, is this a good deal? I have done research but I don't understand this whole leasing process and I ended up overpaying on my first lease ($500 for a chrysler 300 with leather seats--I could have gotten a BMW for that price). Thanks in advance! =)

    $238/ month - all inclusive. (9%tax is included in this 238 payment)

    Wow you did get a good deal! I knew they were BSing me! In which part of the country do you live? I just want to know in case they tell me that it is cheaper because you live in a small town or something. Also, when did you get the car? Thank you so much for your response!=)

    Hi guys!
    I just wanted to give an update. I finally got a good deal after calling a gazillion dealers (and working them up against one another) and doing lots of research (and they almost fooled me a couple of times). I got the same car that odessit got but for $242 a month (including tax) and $500 upfront (which is first payment and title, or registration - I can't remember.) It is an awesome deal considering the fact that we are in Miami, FL.
    Thanks for all the help :)
  • odessit771odessit771 Member Posts: 12
    What is tax % for Miami, FL? Here it is 9%.
  • karukarukarukaru Member Posts: 6
    Sales tax is 7.5% but my asking price was higher than yours (things are more expensive here, in general.)Thank you so much! you don't even know how much you've helped me. I don't have the car yet but we are going on saturday to do all the paperwork and pick up the car. I can't wait!

    I am being offered a 36 month/12k per yr lease of a 2012 Sonata GLS of $314/month with $670 down- including everything. They tell me $27/1000 down. So if I put $1670 down, lease pymt will be $287.
    Is this a good deal??? they havent provided me with MF or residual yet.

    thx
  • odessit771odessit771 Member Posts: 12
    Ok, this question might sound stupid, but I need to ask:

    I have a lease 12k miles; 3 years. Am I allowed to go over 12000 miles per year as long as I come under 36000 at the end of lease? Or Each year must be under 12000?

    Thanks!

    Your mileage allowance is 36K... the timing is irrelevant..

    I don't think so. I just got a 2012 Sonata GLS a few days ago and I got it for $243 a month, including taxes with $500 down (which is first payment and title.) We had to do a lot of negotiating with several dealers. The dealer actually showed me their computer screen to tell me I got such a great deal but I didn't fall for it and they finally got down to that price. I decided to add the dents, dings and scratches insurance (It covers up to $5,000 worth of damage and it also includes the tires) so the price went up to $260 a month
  • zhorse36zhorse36 Member Posts: 1
    Your deal looks awesome! Just curious, did you opt for the popular equip package? And what were your lease terms? I'm close to agreeing on a 2012 SE for $306 a month with 700 down for first payment, etc. It's a 36 mo 15k lease.
  • shand32783shand32783 Member Posts: 76
    Is there really an aqusition fee and a fee also when you return the vehicle when the lease is up too? How much is it? And if so, what if you buy it at the end of the lease...do you have to pay the return fee or whatever they call it?
  • coltrane1coltrane1 Member Posts: 10
    Thanks Everyone. After waiting at the Dealer for several hours as the finance Mgr "worked on the numbers, I walked out. Despitephoning the Sales Rep, I have yet to receive any Quotes.
    It is too bad,because I wanted to lease more than one car- my son and I.

    I am now looking at a Sant Fe and a Sonta elsewhere!!

    Hello shand32783. Yes, Hyundai Finance charges a $595 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. Many banks charge disposition fees in addition to acquisition fees. I believe that Hyundai Finance does charge one, but I am not sure how much. Some banks charge lessees a fee to purchase their vehicle at lease-end as well.

    Does anyone know the numbers for a 2012 LImited 2.0 and 2.4 with Nav Lease numbers for a 12,000 mile/year lease? Seeing if they'll be good for this weekend or as bad as last months were.

    Thanks

    Yes I do zizo2. Hyundai Finance's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2012 Sonata Limited with 12,000 miles per year are .00120 and 55%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    There's nothing wrong with buying or leasing a new vehicle right now, but generally speaking the deals usually seem to get better towards the end of the month.

    Thanks Car Man. I don't like that MF. 2.88 seems a little high. =(

    What is the Hyundai Finance's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2012 Santa Fe V6 GLS with 12,000 miles per year ? What is considered top credit tier? Over 720 score? Thank you very much
  • powermaxxpowermaxx Member Posts: 6
    Did you ever get this vehicle lease? If so, how much is your monthly payment?
  • sunshine1949sunshine1949 Member Posts: 3
    yes I did. The MSRP on the vehicle was 26,810. I got the lease for $299 a month plus tax or $319 a month with $250 down plus first least payment of $319. I think I got an ok deal -- no?? You are never sure but I used the formula and negotiated the price of the car, then the lease -- ?? Thanks
  • hackattack5hackattack5 Member Posts: 315
    Car man: I have all the numbers I just do not know how to figure the lease payment. 2012 Limited MSRP 29,605 Agreed price $26,000 I have the Motozumo $500.00 discount to add to the deal. I believe the 3yr residual is 55% and the money factor is 0.00120 can you tell me the payment?

    Hi Car Man--- Do you have the Oct #'s (MF and residual) for a 3-year lease on a plain old 2012 sonata auto with 12K and 15K miles / year.

    Thanks!

    Hi sunshine1949. Hyundai Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Santa Fe GLS V6 AWD with 12,000 miles per year are .00115 and 57%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. A score of 720 would qualify for the best available rates.

    Let's crunch some numbers and see what we come up with, hackattack5. According to my calculations if you were to lease a 2012 Sonata Limited that has an MSRP of $29,605 an a selling price of $26,000, a money factor of .00120, and a residual value of 55%, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $321.

    Yes, rajsunni, Hyundai is indeed providing a $500 cash incentive on leases of this car right now.

    If you provide me with the MSRP and selling price of this car I would be happy to give you my opinion on this deal.

    I certainly do wagonlover1. Hyundai Finance's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Sonata GLS with an automatic transmission and 15,000 miles per year are .00119 and 61%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

    the MSRP of this vehicle is $29700 and selling price is may be the dealer can give for 27000 tor 25000 if we negotiate to buy the car
  • kennyakennya Member Posts: 1
    Car Man,
    Do you have the MF and Residual for a 2012 Sonata SE?

    Dealer is quoting the following:

    MF - .00119
    Residual - 60%

    36 month lease
    12K miles per year

    MSRP = 25,550 + 649.50 (Dealer fee) x 1.06 (tax) + 430 (tag) + $60 (mis state fees) = $28,212.60

    His deal is 22,000 + 649.50 (Dealer fee) x 1.06 (tax) + 430 (tag) + $60 (mis state fees) = $24,502.60

    Is MF and Residual correct? Is this a good deal? Are their any cash back offers?

    Thanks
  • zeerazeera Member Posts: 18
    Hi,
    I was quoted 260 incl taxes + 1000 down (out of pocket) for a 2012 GLS (popular pack -incl the power seats and the alloy wheels) - 12K for 36 months.
    does this deal sound about right? Please advise.
  • tetovaritetovari Member Posts: 22
    It's not bad , just say if you guys give
    me 15k miles for the same price I'm ready to make a deal.
    Just to be on safe side . Numbers seem ok .
    Good Luck
  • zeerazeera Member Posts: 18
    Thank you Tetovari - Will try to ask for that and see what happens.
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    I certainly do kennya. Hyundai Finance's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Sonata SE wit 12,000 miles per year are .00119 and 61%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    Hyundai is currently providing a $500 cash incentive on leases of this car.
