KYFDX / MICHAELL: Please Help with Lease Figures
Hi KYFDX and MICHAELL,
Can’t thank you both enough for all you do for everyone!
I’m having a hard time figuring this out and your help would be appreciated.
36 Month / 10k Mile Lease
Total Out-of-Pocket: 1st Month Payment + DMV
Everything else rolled-in
MSRP: $48,105
SALES PRICE: $41,370
TERM: 36
MONEY FACTOR: 0.00176
RESIDUAL PERCENTAGE: 70%
BANK FEE: $895
TAX: 8.625%
I’m getting a monthly payment of $403, but I may not be accounting for tax on what I’m told are taxable rebates, which amount to $4,597.
Even if I were to do $4,597 * 8.625% = $396.49 / 36, it’d equal an additional $11 per month, bringing the total to $414 per month.
And even if I were to inch that up to account for interest that may compound on same, it’s still different from the monthly payment the dealer is stating of $440.90 per month.
Please see the attached, which is what the dealer gave me.
Can you please help sort this out for me?
Thank you so very much!

The document you attached was a bit short on details in that respect.
The number you need from the dealer is the adjusted cap cost, which is the selling price plus any taxes or fees you are not paying up front.

I think I've since figured it out; I was confusing 'effective selling price' with 'adjusted capitalized cost'.
Apparently, the cap cost is a figure that doesn't take into account the taxable rebates, meaning the cap cost is higher than the selling price, which is a figure that's after the rebates are applied, which lessen the 'effective cost'.
Furthermore, the dealer was apparently rolling negative equity into the deal, even though there a check was to be cut to me to off set my final out of pocket to cover the last two payment of my current lease!
Thanks again; I appreciate it!
Adjusted CAP cost is the Gross CAP, minus any reductions, including rebates or money paid upfront that isn't allocated to anything else.
