.00040 and 54%

With the MSRP and cap cost given, I get $390/mo even with the higher tax rate.

How is it that the cap cost is lower than the selling price? Where is the $675 VW acquisition fee?

I think they probably adjusted the selling price when giving the cap. So is the $390 you got including tax or without?

Thanks

hi everyone, this is the first time I do a lease so excuse the newb questions. I have been learning about MF and residules but most dealers aren't giving me these values.

I'm looking for an AWD V6 SE with tech and with captain chairs. The best 36 months 12k/year lease I'm getting is about 390+tax and 1500 drive off. This is in Northern California. Is that a good deal? Thanks.

Dealers don't want you to know the MF and residual, because that way you can figure the payment and not give them any room to fudge the numbers.

Wold need to know the MSRP and the selling price to help you with a payment.

FWD or AWD?

Sales tax on a lease in WA is assessed monthly, so you can ignore the tax amount in your quote.

And, we don't recommend big down payments on a lease - the true cost gets muddied up, and that up front cash would be lost if the car is stolen or totaled.

You can get a nice BMW for that payment, BTW.

raybridges

AWD. Thanks for the info. That would be my first lease so I have no experience. So, if you allow me, few additional questions:

- About the down payment, what do you recommend as a drive off?
- And do you have any recommendation about trade-ins? I have a trade-in which is valued around $11000, so is it worth to apply as a trade-in?

Thanks again.

Thanks for confirming. You guys rock @kyfdx , @Michaell . when I started 3 weeks ago , I did not know anything about leasing. Now I know good amount, at least I can pretend to know the buzz words like MF, residual , CAP cost etc. Its funny how that works.

Glad to help - we simply try to level the playing field when you step into the dealer.

This is my second lease, my first lease I went in like an idiot 3 years ago , ended up paying too much because I had no idea. Now I realize all the things I'm overpaying for my previous lease that is coming up for return end of this month.

I finally got my 36Mo/10K/0 down /V6/AWD/SE with Tech Package for $439 after taxes / month payment. Just to give you final update, before I sign off from this forum

After doing 3 weeks of research, preparing my own custom spreadsheet calculator with all the numbers , I figured which dealer is Bull S**ting on the quote, who genuinely has aggressive deal. So I finally found one dealer in San Jose quoting me for $448 / month for above with $1770 drive off that included all the regular numbers , only they had $196 dealer fees. Apparently they had cars with colors which I was not too excited about. I found another dealer where they had a color & model I wanted,. I called the internet lease specialist told him I have this quote and I'm going to meet this other dealer, do you think you can match the number for the car that I wanted (gave him VIN # from their online inventory page). He called me back and matched the number. I went over there, negotiated further & finally got dealership fee waived & got $439/month deal . I drove off the car. Lessor learned. Do a lot of research , understand all the numbers, Call the Bull S**t out if they are overcharging you , with the point that you will lease if they waive specific numbers & they will do it.

Once again thanks to @Michaell & @kyfdx for all your immense knowledge & help.

I will be back here after 3 year may be for another car, unless I'm going to lease another vehicle.

All the best everyone.


Here is the final number if anyone needs

San Jose CA


Money Factor 0.00090
Residual value 58%
MSRP 40,505
Selling price $36,005
Adjusted Capitalized Cost $ 36,005

Acquisition Fee 675.00
Disposition Fee 395.00
Doc fees - $80
DMV fees - $510
first payment/monthly payment - $439
Final drive off - $1704

Drive off should only include the first payment and registration costs.

Same with trade equity - have the dealer cut you a check for the equity in your trade. Do not use it to buy down the lease payment.

MSRP: $38,670

Using .00040 and 52% for 36/15, I get $402/mo plus tax.

Your deal looks good, by comparison.

Hey all, let me start off by saying I am very confused how leases work. With that being said, I need some help. We were offered a lease deal from Gunther VW Coconut Creek FL of $445 a month for Atlas SE with 8-$900 down. The sale MSRP is. $33,995 originally $37,735. The deal was for 12/36 terms. We are looking into more of a 48/10 term to try and save money. Right now we have a Ford Escape paying $388 month but with our growing family it is time to upgrade. My question is, do we have any wiggle room with this lease? Any input would be very much appreciated! Thank you all.

Assuming FWD?
.00040 MF and 54% residual for 36/12
$600 lease cash
With acquisition fee and tax, that payment looks about right.

.00090 MF and 48% residual for 48/10.
That would drop the payment by $23/mo., more or less

mikey216

Yes, FWD. ok that’s good news thank you

Just got what looks like a better deal from the same dealer:

Drive Off: $1644
Monthly: $408 (tax included)

Does the difference in the Drive Off (though small), matter at this point, with a deal like this?

Thanks all for posting all your numbers, it was very helpful in negotiations. I ended up getting quotes from all the NorCal dealers. In the end, for the V6 FWD SE w/ Tech and captain's chairs, I paid $1600 drive-off (includes 1st month) and monthly payments of $390. The MF was 0.004 with a 54% residual. This is for a 36 month lease with 12k/year.

Yeah... not impressed with the deal or the Atlas lease program.
I'd rather have a more expensive Highlander for a lower payment.
