Hi socalrover. Like most banks, Land Rover Capital Group provides consumers with a reduction in the interest rate that they have to pay for pre-paid leases. I believe that its specific reduction for 24 month leases is .00041, which equates to an interest rate reduction of slightly less than 1%.
 
You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the Range Rover Sport that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this truck's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to work up a sample lease payment on the truck that you are interested in for you if you let me know what these numbers are.

Well, if SocalRover does not reply, I'd love to give you some numbers to run by you:
 
Purchase price, $58,050 (not including taxes, etc..)
Down payment: $5000
lease term: 60 months (48 month as an alternate)
Mileage: standard 15,000/yr
 
Basically, I know I can afford something like a Toyota Tundra on a 60 month purchase (not a lease), so I'm wondering if leasing a RRS for a similar term is affordable (as viewed on a monthly payment basis).
 
Regards,
 
NW

Money down on lease by slykmr

Looking at leasing a new RRS. My question is that if i put money down in the beginning isn't that the same as paying that much additional throughout the duration of the lease. Lets say that with 0 down the payment is 1115 per month. Yet with 5000 down the payment is roughly 200 lower per month 918. All these #'s are based on a 30 month 15k/year lease, 63000 msrp, .00305 rate. My thinking that the 200 per month saved times 30 months is $6000. Therefore an up front savings of $1000. Though at this point you can figure in the time value of money. Please set me straight if i am on the wrong page.

Any money you put down on the lease reduces the cap cost by the same amount, and will result in a correspondingly lower payment... In your example, the "extra" savings of not paying finance charges on that $5000 equals about $15/mo.. Or, around $450 over the life of the lease... and, as you stated, you have to balance that against the earnings on that money if you had kept it. So, the actual savings is pretty small...
 
You really shouldn't make any downpayment on a lease, though.. If something were to happen to the vehicle early in the lease term (accident or theft), resulting in a total loss, you won't get any of that downpayment money back... A $5000 downpayment on a car that you only lease for 3-4 months would make for a pretty high monthly cost..

kyfdx,
 
I would like to pay the taxes upfront to keep the monthly payment down. $999 looks better to the wife than $1200. Does the above also apply here?

In my opinion, it applies to any amount paid upfront, other than the first payment and security deposit...
 
But, overall this risk, while real, is fairly low... I understand exactly what you mean about the how the payment looks to your spouse...
 
You have to do what works for you...

Our leasing programs just changed today and the 30 month lease is no longer the best deal. You are going to have to rework everything to find the sweet spot. Based on our preliminary work the 39 month lease seems to work out the best now.

Due to the money factor or what? The drop in residual from a 30 month lease to a 36 month lease was some 14% or some ridiculous number.

The 30 month lease residual dropped several points from the last program and the money factors are up as well.
