Hi Michael, I noticed that you seemed to be a very active moderator and the primary source of MF/RV information for not only Honda's but a few other makes as well, so I wanted to reach out to you before I posted 4 different questions in four different discussion threads that may end up being answered by you. If I was looking at finding out MF/RV numbers for the Odyssey, Pacifica, Sienna, and Sedona, should I just directly PM you or should I go ahead and post on individual so that the information is there for everyone else to see as well?May 24 -
Michael,
I'm planning to lease a 2017 Q7 3.0T Prestige here in Denver, CO this week. Can you please send updated money factor, RV, down payments, MSRP and invoice for a 12k/36 mo package? I'm trading a 2016 GL550 with 12k miles. Any idea on a dealer trade-in value for my MB?
Many thanks,
RTMay 21 -
Hello Michaell
I really appreciate your help. I know the dealer thinks that any information I can find on the internet is looked at with suspicion and is inaccurate in their eyes. The disadvantage I have is that I cannot find a breakdown sheet of the money factors to challenge them. I called Chase and they will not help me. I am not asking you for any such document, but just would like to know that my information is as accurate as possible since no one wants to pay more than they should for a vehicle
Best regards,

Hello Michael,

Apologies for the DM, Michael, but for some reason, my posts are not showing up. I tried to respond to your question on the board, but my posts are not showing up.

- convenience package (Premium Entune, Nav, etc)
- front and rear parking sonar
- tonneau cover
- All weather and cargo tray
- mudguard
- roof rack
MSRP $30863, Sale Price $28949
$0 down, $292 per month for 36/12K miles per year.
Minnesota, tax is 7.125%
Should I take it?May 9 -
Hello Michaell,
Sorry to bother you on DM but I am new here and don't know much about this forum.
I'm trying to make a decision on a new lease and I have no idea what I'm getting into. After reading couple threads here, it looks like you are the one who can help me.
Im trying to get a '17 Highlander Hybrid Limited Prem here is SoCal. With about $1,500 on accessories. MSRP comes out to around $51k. They are asking $2,000 at signing and $689/mo for 12k/36mo lease. They will also pay off my RAV4 with 10 months left on a 12k/36mo lease deal with 36k miles already.
$689/mo includes tax. Tax here is 10%.
If you can tell me yay or nay for this deal, I'll really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hi Michael. What are the rates and residual for a 2017 Lexus Rx 350 Base FWD for 36 months with 15K miles per year for Florida, zip 33598? What are the current incentives for a current lessee? I assume the acquisition fee is still $700 ?
ThanksMay 2 -

Sorry I posted on the Forum, but am looking to lease another Autobahn GTI...this time w/Driver's Assist. My current is 2015 Autobahn DSG/Light pkge. No PP (wasn't yet avail.)

R might work, but much more $$ and few if any discounts...although the thread says there are some R deals here in Denver where you reside....really? Where?!!May 1 -

Hi need help urgently. I just discovered this forum.
I am leasing a 2017 Mercedes C300 convertble with MSRP 56,695 in Texas for 36 months on 10,000 miles, Based on the numbers I’ve seen, MF is 0.00108 and RV is 58%.
The dealer is offering me a selling price of 54,357 ( 4.1% discount), however my fleet program reduces the cost by another $2,000 and he is offering tax credits of approx 2500. Aquisition fee is $1095. The payment he is offering me is 693/month. I am putting my first payment +150 down=$843 down. No security deposit.
1. Is the MF and RV correct?
2. By offering to pay a security deposit can I reduce the money factor? Assuming that comes back to me at the end of the lease. Does that work in TX?
3. By Opting for auto pay do I get a discount and if so how – is it a lower money factor?
4. What else can I do to get a better deal?April 28 -
Hi Michaell - bit of a brain teaser. I'm trying to back into my MF, as well as figure out the taxable items in NY to make sure I am getting a good deal. Details on the 2017 Q5 Premium with Navigation & Convenience, Metallic Paint, Q5 Protection Package:
MSRP: 45,110
Negotiated Sale Price: 39,750
Residual: 24,810 (55%)
Fees: 97.50
Customer Cash: 2,500
Rebate: 750
Local Tax Rate: 7.375%
Monthly Payment:451.52
I'm trying to figure out 2 things - the Money Factor at the payments above, and the elements of the deal that are subject to Tax.
In New York, my understanding is that the taxable elements of the deal are the Down Payment, the Interest/Financing Charge over the term of the lease, and the depreciation amount (essentially the sum of the pre-tax, pre-interest payments).
Your help with the Base MF on a 36month/12k per year lease on the above vehicle would go a long way, as well as your guidance on taxation in NY.

Hey, I am currently in the market for a F-Pace S or R-Sport 2017 or a 2018. Could I please have MF's and residuals for 36/10 & 36/12 in Nassau County, NY, 11552 for those four vehicles?? Thank you in advance.April 22 -

MF - .00146

If not, what is a good lease deal on a 2017 X5 diesel?April 20 -
Good morning.
I need your help. I want to lease a Ford Explorer Sport but want to make sure I'm getting a good deal. I overpaid on my current Ford lease and I don't want to do that again.
From what I've read on this forum down payments are not recommended for leases. I understand but I needed my payments to be under $450 a month. That is why I chose to put money down.
Here are all the details the dealer gave me yesterday. I have X-Plan Pricing.
2017 Ford Explorer Sport
401A
Floor Liners
Twin-Panel Moon Roof
Dual Headrest DVD
MSRP: $53,075.00
Residual: 0.54
APR: 0.50
Term: 36 Months
Cap Red: $1350.17
Rebate: $5157.00
Acquisition Fee: $645.00
Tax: $2101.44
New York, NY
Miles: 12k/Year
Price: $51,068.00
Out the door cost:
Upfront Cash: $4300.00 = includes down payment, tax, title, registration, 1st month payment, and any other fees.
Monthly Lease Payment: $445.00/Month
Should I ask for less of a monthly payment? Is my upfront cash too high? Is this a good deal?April 20 -
Michaell: Please provide APR, Residual Value, and Lease Cash (and any other current incentives available) for a 2017 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD 36 months/10,500 miles per year in 08003 and 19103.April 19 -

Hello Michaell...SORRY for the PM! I just joined the site. I wanted to ask you lease numbers (36mo 10 or 12k) on a 2016 Challenger Hellcat but cannot figure out how to post it! Help! lol
Thanks!

Hi Michaell, I posted in the forum but also wanted to send you a mssg for your thoughts...
2017 Lexus RX 350 AWD
MSRP- 54064
Concessions- 5945
10K/36mo
2500 down (includes all origination/dealer fees and taxes)
499/mo
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.April 13 -
Thanks for advice about CarMax for appraisal. Looks like I'll need a couple more months before attempting to swap my Sport for a Luxury model. But one positive I discovered the Pirelli runflats I have to replace come with a year long road hazard warranty. No need to buy extra insurance. Unfortunately I paid a couple hundred for warranties last tire change - spend and learn.April 13 -

have lease for 2017 Lexus ES 350 with premium package at $504 for 35 payments. Thoughts on competitiveness?April 11 -
Hey Michaell, I just wanted to run some of my final numbers by you to get your thoughts, I appreciate any insights:
My final numbers came out as follows:
2018 Audi S5 Sportback Prem+ 12k/36m
MSRP: $63,975
Acual Price: $61,416
Residual: 65% (Include +1 for AudiCare)
Money Factor: .00146 (Includes reduction of .00045 for 9 MSDs)
Acquisition Fee: $895 (appears this goes up from $795 later this month, before my car arrives)
Audi Care: $869
Dealer Fees: $25
Total Cap: $63,205
Tax Rate: 7%
Security Deposit: $7,425
Total Monthly Payment: $806.33
My monthly rent charge comes out to $152.99 ,totaling $5,507.64 over 36 months plus the $895 acquisition fee.
From your experience does the monthly payment and interest rate sounds reasonable for the car in question?
Thanks,
RussellApril 7 -

hi Michaell, im looking at the cx 5 touring. need MF and Residual here in los angeles. i need 36 miles + for 3 years
thanksApril 5 -
Micheal -- I posted this but wasn't sure how long it took to get to you. Thanks in advance for your help!
We are located in Boston, MA and can also buy in RI.
We are considering Leasing 2 cars with a trade-in. Here is the info:
Trade-in = 2013 Sorento EX AWD 4-cyl with 119,000 miles. Newer tires, fine mechanical condition and well-maintained. I have on-line trade-in numbers from $12k all the way down to $7,800 -- So, I will assume $8k to be on the safe side.
First Car = 2017 Sportage SX AWD with remote engine start and floor mats only. Doing 36mo and 12,000mi/yr
Second Car = 2017 Rio LX automatic with floor mats only. Could do 36mo and 10,000mi/yr
I know you say never put money down on a lease, but we need a 3rd car and the Sorento really is ready to be traded in.
I am thinking we apply the "trade" value to the Sportage to bring that number way down as the Rio will be cheap enough. Can you give us some advice and the critical numbers such as MF and residuals for MA and RI.April 3 -
Good day I am looking for the residual and MF on a 17 Honda Accord ex-l 36/12 36/15. I'm in CO
Thank you in advance for your time.March 29
