Looking for the best deal on 2019 Santa Fe Limited / Ultimate 2.0 for 36mo with 12/15k mileage. I have been told almost $400
We can only give you the lease numbers. We don't track pricing. 36/15 .00224 MF Limited 2.0: 57% residual. $1800 lease cash Ultimate 2.0: 57% residual. $1700 lease cash
May I please have the MF and RV% for the 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate AWD for a 36/12 and 36/10 lease in 19044?
Any other incentives? Is lease cash used to reduce the cap cost?
2.0 or 2.4?
Sorry about that, 2.0T.
.00224 and 59% / 60% $1700 lease cash
Thank you Michaell!
Keep me honest here but a 0.00224 MF translates to a 5.4% APR. If my math is correct that adds $136.42 per month to the monthly payment using this hypothetical example: ( assuming 36/12)
MSRP: $40,000 Base Cap Cost: $39,000 Lease Cash: $1,700 Net Cap Cost: $37,300 Pennsylvania Lease Tax: 9%
So basically the monthly payment is: $380.56 + $136.42 + $46.53 = $563.50 68% 24% 8% = 100%
In other words, 24% of the monthly payment is going towards interest, and not towards the car.
Unless I'm crazy - if I am already willing to pay $563.50 per month regardless, wouldn't I get much more car for my money if i went with a vehicle that has a very low MF? 0.0005 for example?
Seems as if I can get a $50k car for the same monthly payment as a $40k car just by having a very low MF - crazy!
Are you aware of any SUV/Crossovers in the $35k to $55k MSRP price range that have very low MF? Very low meaning at least 3 zeros after the decimal! Haha.
I simply want the most car for my money and not get charged crazy interest!

First, I agree with your lease calculation math, so that's a good start.
Second, the captive banks can play with the MF, residual and lease cash to obtain a certain payment.
Third, the 2019 Santa Fe is brand new, and there is still 2018 inventory available - HMF will skew the lease numbers to promote the 2018's until they are gone, then the numbers on the 2019's might get better.
But - Hyundai has raised the base MF of all their vehicles to .00224, and using lease cash in various amounts to sweeten the pot.
I don't have the MF for all vehicles in my head, but if you were to identify one with a low MF, then it's quite likely the residual value will be low, as well. And, there might not be any incentives.
Off the top of my head, the Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 both have MFs that start with 3 zeros. Does that make them a better deal than the Hyundai? Only you can make that decision.
One last piece of advice - don't chase the best deal, if you end up with a vehicle you won't like driving for the next 3 years. I've seen that over and over in these threads. Go test drive a few that interest you, then make your best deal.

I'm paying a total of $53 in interest on my current Jetta lease (.00005 MF)
Thanks for advice. Quick question based on your reply - then a few comments
1. When you said that banks can play with the MF - will they ever go below the rate that you have visibility to? Or is that the mandated minimum from the leasing company? In our Santa Fe example, would I ever be able to get a rate lower than 0.00224? I imagine the banks/dealers will increase this but can they go below?
Also - I wouldn't say I am necessarily chasing the best deal, but rather the best bang for the buck - if that makes sense. If I have $500 to spend a month, it somehow feels like I am getting more if that $500 goes to pay for a Audi Q5 than a Hyundai Santa Fe. Nothing against Hyundai, but one brand has historically been a luxury premium type while the other is more known for cheaper vehicles that offer a lot of features for their cost.
Obviously it's everyone's preference but I have a feeling most individuals would take the Q5 over the Santa Fe if they had $500 to spend a month. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get an Q5 for $500 but just using that as an example.
I feel that now that same $500 just does not get me as far as it once did with Hyundai because of the high interest rate - so what is the incentive to give them my money? I understand that it comes down to preference but there is a degree of "just seems like too much to pay for a Hyundai" in there.

I'm paying a total of $53 in interest on my current Jetta lease (.00005 MF)
I just checked my wife's 2016 Rogue lease and the total finance charges are $215.47 for the entire 36 months!
You have me beat on your Jetta but I definitely got a bit of a shock when I saw that finance charges these days would be in the tune of $2-3k on some of these leases. It's tough to swallow.
I do see rates going up.. heck even my savings account is up to 1.9%. On the flip side if I ever want to move - 30 year rates are nearing 5%. I guess I've been spoiled over the last few years.

.00224 is the lowest rate for top tier credit.
All of the calculations are useless, if you don't know the level of dealer discount. You calculations assume a 2.5% discount. What if the typical discount is 10%?
Also, a low money factor sounds good.. but, if the residual is 8% lower, then that's $89/mo. extra in depreciation (on a $40K MSRP vehicle).
In the end, you are renting the vehicle for a specific monthly payment. If SUV A is $500/mo, including $100/mo. of finance charges, and SUV B is $525/mo. with $5/mo of finance charges, then SUV A is still cheaper, no matter the breakdown of the payment.
You really can't know for sure, until you shop and start getting some quotes.

Remember, my Jetta stickered at something like $21-22K and the cap cost was around $18K or so. I'm not sure I'll be able to replicate my last two lease deals (roughly $230/mo) again.
Interest rates have been at or near 0% for a decade, now. We all got spoiled. Talk to someone who had a 14% mortgage in the 70's....
As someone who recently tried to lease a Santa Fe, and have been leasing since 2000, I just couldn't stomach the MF on it. We ended up leasing a Murano last weekend, with an MSRP 7,500 more than the Santa Fe we looked at, but with a payment $100 less. I think Nissan has the last of the low money factors. As much as my wife loved the new Santa Fe, I ensured she had 3 cars she'd love to drive for the next 3 years which helped! But if you have your heart set on a specific car, you're likely gonna have to pay their numbers.
I enjoyed following the conversation here as I was struggling with the numbers myself.
Successful Leases thanks to Edmunds: 23 Santa Fe | 23 Rogue | 21 Santa Fe | 20 Sonata | 18 Murano | 17 Optima | 15 Murano | 15 Sonata | 13 Audi A4

Keep me honest here but a 0.00224 MF translates to a 5.4% APR. If my math is correct that adds $136.42 per month to the monthly payment using this hypothetical example: ( assuming 36/12)
MSRP: $40,000
Base Cap Cost: $39,000
Lease Cash: $1,700
Net Cap Cost: $37,300
Pennsylvania Lease Tax: 9%
RV%: 59%
RV $: 23,600
Monthly Finance Charges ($37,300 + $23,600) * 0.00224 = $136.42
Total Finance Charges: ($136.42 * 36) = $4,910.98
Depreciation: $37,300 - $23,600 = $13,700
Monthly Depreciation: $380.56
Monthly Tax: ($13,700 + $4,911) * 9% / 36 = $46.53
Total Tax: ($46.53 * 36) = $1,674.99
So basically the monthly payment is:
$380.56 + $136.42 + $46.53 = $563.50
68% 24% 8% = 100%
In other words, 24% of the monthly payment is going towards interest, and not towards the car.
Unless I'm crazy - if I am already willing to pay $563.50 per month regardless, wouldn't I get much more car for my money if i went with a vehicle that has a very low MF? 0.0005 for example?
Seems as if I can get a $50k car for the same monthly payment as a $40k car just by having a very low MF - crazy!
Are you aware of any SUV/Crossovers in the $35k to $55k MSRP price range that have very low MF? Very low meaning at least 3 zeros after the decimal! Haha.
I simply want the most car for my money and not get charged crazy interest!
Thank you so much for your help!

1. When you said that banks can play with the MF - will they ever go below the rate that you have visibility to? Or is that the mandated minimum from the leasing company? In our Santa Fe example, would I ever be able to get a rate lower than 0.00224? I imagine the banks/dealers will increase this but can they go below?
Also - I wouldn't say I am necessarily chasing the best deal, but rather the best bang for the buck - if that makes sense. If I have $500 to spend a month, it somehow feels like I am getting more if that $500 goes to pay for a Audi Q5 than a Hyundai Santa Fe. Nothing against Hyundai, but one brand has historically been a luxury premium type while the other is more known for cheaper vehicles that offer a lot of features for their cost.
Obviously it's everyone's preference but I have a feeling most individuals would take the Q5 over the Santa Fe if they had $500 to spend a month. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get an Q5 for $500 but just using that as an example.
I feel that now that same $500 just does not get me as far as it once did with Hyundai because of the high interest rate - so what is the incentive to give them my money? I understand that it comes down to preference but there is a degree of "just seems like too much to pay for a Hyundai" in there.
You have me beat on your Jetta but I definitely got a bit of a shock when I saw that finance charges these days would be in the tune of $2-3k on some of these leases. It's tough to swallow.
I do see rates going up.. heck even my savings account is up to 1.9%. On the flip side if I ever want to move - 30 year rates are nearing 5%. I guess I've been spoiled over the last few years.
All of the calculations are useless, if you don't know the level of dealer discount.
You calculations assume a 2.5% discount. What if the typical discount is 10%?
Also, a low money factor sounds good.. but, if the residual is 8% lower, then that's $89/mo. extra in depreciation (on a $40K MSRP vehicle).
In the end, you are renting the vehicle for a specific monthly payment. If SUV A is $500/mo, including $100/mo. of finance charges, and SUV B is $525/mo. with $5/mo of finance charges, then SUV A is still cheaper, no matter the breakdown of the payment.
You really can't know for sure, until you shop and start getting some quotes.

None of that means the 2019 Santa Fe is a good lease candidate. It just means that you can't focus just on the money factor.

Interest rates have been at or near 0% for a decade, now. We all got spoiled. Talk to someone who had a 14% mortgage in the 70's....
