Thanks for the response, featherz. You mean to tell me that the dealership threatened that they will not accept the check if it's not in their hands in 3 days? Crazy.
 
By the way, I guess this is for everyone. How good of a rate is 5.75 % for four years? Thanks.

Not crazy at all.
Dealership wants to get paid.
If they submit you to a regular lender,and you are approved,the contract is overnighted to the bank,and the dealer is paid electronically.
3 days tops.

joel,
 
Many thanks for your response. So basically, your dealership computes the reserves as a percentage of the Total Finance Charge Differential as follows...
  
1st. Compute the total lease charge based on the contract rate.
  
2nd. Compute the total lease charge based on the buy rate.
  
3rd. Subtract the amount in (2) from the amount in (1).
  
4th. Multiply the amount in (3) by 75% to determine the reserve payment.
 
My gut tells me that this is the most common method.
 
Once again; many thanks Joel.
 
John

My mistake, I was talking about a finance contract not a lease. A lease is a bit different.
 
On a lease if the lease rate is 2% and we charge 3% then I take the difference in the payment X the term X 75% and that is what we get.
 
For example if at 2% the lease payment is 350 for 36 and at 3% it is 365 for 36 I take the difference in payment of $15x365=$540x75%=$405 in dealer reserve.

Thanks for clarifying, Joel. How does the reserve level come into play? For example, a tiered rate structure might look something like this...
 
0.00150 + 0% reserves
 
0.00165 + 1% reserves
 
0.00180 + 2% reserves
 
etc.

"...on the 91st day there are no charge backs..."
 
So if I'm basicly a cash buyer but I need to finance though the dealer to get the rebate I can pay the whole thing off after 91 days without screwing you over,right?

Yes, but if I am financing someone who I know is just doing it to get extra rebate I never make reserve on them, it is a waste of time. 99% of the time they pay it off when they get there first payment and I get a charge back.

So it would do me no good to promise not to pay it off until you had made your money off the deal--you wouldn't trust me? Shame, I'd like to help the salesman and F&I make a fair profit and get a no games deal in return but it seems previous liars on both sides make that difficult.

4 year rate by master_ryu

Sorry. Shameless bump. How good of a rate is 5.75 % for 4 years? I know it's not particularly high, but is this a solid rate?
