I need some help please by colo232

I’m trying to use the lease calculators widely available on the internet but I have some questions and I’m hoping that someone with knowledge can help me…
 
Let’s assume this scenario
 
$33,810 MSRP
$29,690 Sales Price (Includes destination charge)
$ 1,930 Tax (Florida)
$ 200 Tag / Title
$ 55 Doc. Fee
 
1) What should I use as my Base Capitalized Cost?
2) What should I use as my Adjusted Capitalized Cost?
3) Any down payment should be subtracted from the Adjusted Capitalized Cost?
 
Thanks a lot!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Florida just taxes the monthly lease payment, so leave the tax out of the calculation for now...
 
1) What should I use as my Base Capitalized Cost?
 
The selling price
 
2) What should I use as my Adjusted Capitalized Cost?
 
Selling price + $595 acquisition fee
 
3) Any down payment should be subtracted from the Adjusted Capitalized Cost?
 
Yes, if it is actually a capitalized cost reduction... Don't subtract money due upfront for 1st payment, security deposit, title fees, etc..
 
Once you have a payment, apply the Florida tax rate to the payment amount.
 
Hope that helps,
kyfdx

The cap cost is the negotiated price of the car, the net cap cost is the cap cost plus any fees or taxes and less any money you put toward the lease.
 
You use net cap cost to figure the cost of the lease payments along with the lease term, residual and money factor.
 
Where P = monthly payment, C = net cap cost, R = residual, T = term in months, and M = money factor.
 
P = ((C-R) / T) + ((C+R) * M)
 
The current lease promo on the Ody LX is 0.00113 and 59% residual. So if you look at the LX the MSRP is $23,370, the net cap (for this deal) is $23,370, and the residual is $15,632 . The term is 36 months.
 
So using the formula:
 
P = (($23,370 - $15,632) / 36) + ($23,370 + $15,632) * 0.00113)
 
which should result in a payment of $259 per month.
 
In your case, I don't know what the residual and MF numbers are for the Ody you are looking at. Once you get them, you take your purchase price and add the $595 lease acquisition fee (bank fee), the tags, dealers, fees, etc then take off any money you are putting down at signing - this can include cash or trade equity. This is your net cap cost. You run the numbers and get the payment. A security deposit is also required unless you are a current AHFC lease holder or pay a higher MF to have it waived. This the payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment. So if your payment comes out $301 then your deposit is $325. If you choose to roll that into the lease, you adjust the cap cost and refigure the payment.
 
One thing to note, as far as I know Florida taxes a lease on the monthly payment and no tax is paid up front. So you would calculate your payment w/o tax then add the correct amount to the payment to get your actual net payment. The rate varies by city/county so you have to account for that.

Thanks kyfdx and dwynne... One more question. by colo232

Residual values are calculated from the …
 
a) MSRP $32,210 57% = $19,272
b) Base capitalized Cost Selling price $29,690 57% = $16,923
 
EX-L / RES Money factor is 0.00228 with 57% residual.
 
I’m planning in $2,000 total out of pocket at sign in.

Are you looking at an 07 or 08? If an 07 you can probably get a better rate on an 08 if you are leasing, but may have to pay more. We will assume you are looking at on 08.
 
You state in one place "$33,810 MSRP $29,690 Sales price" and now you say $32,210 MSRP - the MSRP on an 08 EX-L DVD RES is $34,445 including destination.
 
I will assume you are talking about an 08 EX-L DVD RES, so 57% of MSRP is $19,633.65. If I plug this into a lease calc along with $29,690 (what you said your selling price was including destination) and 36 months and the 0.00228 MF you state then I get $391.80 per month plus tax with the $595 bank fee, security deposit, first month's payment, and TTL due at signing.
 
Note that your sale price is well under the $31,246 invoice price. There is $1,000 in dealer money on the 08 Ody but Edmunds notes "Dealer Cash cannot be combined with the 2008 Odyssey special AHFC lease/purchase plan". So if you get the cheap lease deal the dealer does not get the $1,000 cash. Now your 0.00228 MF is not what I would call "real cheap" but it is below the standard lease rate of 0.00270 or 0.00275 that Honda gets for standard rates. So I would assume your dealer would not get the $1,000 cash if you lease so your selling price could be higher.

I am in the process for the same Ex deal.
Here is what I got.
 
MSRP: 29555
Cap Cost: 28127 (includes everything-all fees,1st pyment, etc, nothing due at signing..sign and drive)
Residual: 17437
MF: 00113
36 months/12k
Payments: $378.38 (tax included)
 
I am also looking to see if this is a good deal. To me it looks like they are not
giving you the correct MF. I think .00113 is the advertised special.

The special shown on the Honda web page is for the LX Ody, not the EX. For the LX the MF is 0.00113 and the residual is 59%.
 
They don't show a special for the EX, so I don't know if the rates are the same or not. In the past, they have been - but that is no guarantee.
 
If this is the correct rate, then it is a pretty good one (2.71% effective). The only other variable is the price. You show your cap cost with everything rolled in, what are you paying for the van including destination and any dealer fees? $26,864 is invoice and that would be a nice number to pay, if you can. Less is super, more not so good.

Hi,
 
That is what I am trying to understand. He gave me a leasing cost of 27,187
which included 1st pymt,doc fee, and lic fee. He told me the sale price on the
van was $26,000 plus the fees gave us the $27,187. We also opted for the Tint and splash option (We live in Arizona and you have to have dark tinted windows to survive). I had quotes from at least 6 different dealers and they all came in about $20-60 more per month.........Just trying to figure out if I should go with it.
 
Thanks for responding.

i am looking to lease a ex-l odyssey with RES 2008 with 36month/15k a year. crown honda in redding ca 777 down 451 a month. san leandro honda in bay area was 449 a month....now i am embarrased. i didnt ask how much san leandro wanted down(in my mind when i was talking to the salesman i assumed it was the same) and it is too late right now.
but for you californians is 777 down and 451 a month competitive for an ex-l, color of my choice, with RES? thanks..i could go into the price and money factor but for a lease it is basically how much are you putting down and what is the monthly payment in terms of comparison of offers, no?
thanks in advance
