monthly payment / insurance and others...

Since i got F up by a so cal dealer, if you guys don't mind, let's post a comparison so we can have a buyers beware thread

Since rarely does 2 person got the identical deal including taxes, the intention of this thread is to act as a guild line, hence "Price" can be MSRP or actual.

Price / $ Down / Monthly Payment / Interest Rate / MF / Term / Residual value / Insurance / Age / State / Finance Co

for me from the same dealer (Galpin Ford/Mazda, Van Nuys CA):
31100 / 3000 / 540 / 9.89% / 0.0041 / 48 / ?? / 27 / CA / Mazda? / lease
31100 / 3470 / 470 / ?? / 0.0026 / 48 / 13,xxx / ?? / 27 / CA / WellsFrago / lease
31100 / 4368 / 428 / ?? / 0.0026 / 48 / 13,xxx / ?? / 27 / CA / WellsFrago / lease

*Edit: added "Residual Value" & "Finance or Lease"

Donald--

MF stands for Money Factor. It is essentially the interest rate of a lease. In Terence's case, a MF of 0.0041 is 9.84%, which is pretty lousy.

Instead of listing interest rate, Terence's grid should have Residual, since as I said before, the money factor and interest rate are pretty much the same thing.

Terence--

Have you checked out LeaseCompare.com? A couple of people on the forum have used them to help get a pretty decent lease. Also, Hercules and Eccles went through Apple Leasing, and they got pretty good deals, too.

Good luck!

Im not sure how you guys are calculating price. I'm using total price which includes tax and tags.

Terence,

To find your interest rate, multiply your MF by 2400. If you want to know your MF, divide your interest rate by 2400.

Here's a good lease calculator to try http://www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm

Hope that helps.

Tony

total price / down / monthly payment / interest rate / MF / terms / insurance / age / state / finance co

$30225 / $7000 / $427 / 3.92% / NA / 60 / $1042 per yr / 28 / FL / SunTrust

I had prequalified with PeopleFirst (Capital One) for 3.99%. But I just use that as leverage to get a slightly lower rate 3.92% from the dealer. A total saving of $44 :p . But then I don't have to do automatic debit.
