Here's how they got to it:
MSRP $59,895
Discount $2070
Rebate $2250
Adjusted Price $55,575
Dealer Doc $449
Non Tax Fees $853.30
Balance $56,877.30
We agreed on residual 48% = $28,750
He said they are using Lincoln Financial 1.2% APR = .0005 Money Factor
I ran all the numbers and came up with:
Total Rent $1541.28
Base Payment: $824.14
Tax: $74.17 (9% in PA)
Payment: $898.31
I spoke with the sales manager and he could not tell me what the total rent was. He lead me to believe that the Lincoln calculator does not tell you that number and insisted that he was using the 1.2% APR to get to a lease payment of $927.
I agreed to disagree.
Am I crazy? How do the numbers work out?
The only explanation is that the MF/APR is marked up, or the "balance" is different from what they say. Those are the only two variables in a lease calculation.

But..
Are you sure that their "Balance" is the actual Adjusted CAP cost?
What is the amount Due at Signing?
Itemization of the $853.30 fees?
Where is the acquisition fee accounted for? (usually taxable)
What about upfront sales tax on the rebate?
Are you sure that sales tax is 9%? In some localities in PA, it's 10% or 11%.
If they give you a screenshot off the computer, or you see it on a contract, it would become clear.

My father initially went the dealership and asked for the company's best offer on a 36 month, 16,500 mile lease of a 2023 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve. The said their best price $1008. Long story short after several negations over the course of 4 days - speaking with the sales consultant, sales manager (who claimed he didn't know what rent was in a lease), and finally the finance manger the dealership agreed to discount the selling price of the car to what they initially offered: $2070 off of MSRP and agreed to use Lincoln Financial's ACTUAL residual value and money factor (apr); they leased the car for $896.13. I feel beaten down by just getting them to be honest sales people.
I encountered several deceptive sales practices including increasing the apr (money factor), reducing the residual value, and "forgetting" to include the agreed discount of the car. The nail in the coffin was when I finally scanned a copy of a previous lease from Lincoln Financial and told the dealership to give me the exact numbers of line items A through L. As advised on this forum it became abundantly clear where they were fudging the numbers.
Here's what was leased:
2023 Nautilus Reserve
Upgraded v6 twin turbo engine
Pristine white color option
20 inch wheels
18 inch spare
Cargo package
MSRP including destination fee was $59,895.
Here's how the lease worked out (within a few cents):
a. Gross Capitalized Cost - $59,069.37
b. Capitalized Cost Reduction - $2250
c. Adjusted Capitalized Cost $56,819.37
d. Residual Value - $28,749.60
e. Depreciation and any Amortized Amounts - $28,069.77
f. Rent Charge - $1540.24
f. Total of Base Payments - $29,610.01
h. Lease Payments - 36
I. Base Payment - $822.50
J. Sales/Use Tax - $74.03
K. Total Payment - $896.13
L. Lease Term - 36
Within negations this lease price changed 5 times from $1008, to $993, to $927, to $922, and finally to $896. Every time the price changed they assured me I had just got the best price. I believe I may not have gotten the cheapest lease with these features, but at least I know at the end of the day I know I got a fair deal.
Thank you for all your help and advice.
$1008 to $896 = $112 difference x 36 months = $4032 Savings
Congrats! Thanks for the detailed report!
