Replying to: rjlaero (Apr 26, 2008 6:57 am) I think you are correct about VA, as well... You pay on the entire purchase price.. Of course, their tax rate is around 3%, so not as bad as it sounds.. regards, kyfdx |

Hi everynone, Now that I learned the formula to calculate the montly payment of a car, I am trying to understand or figure out the following: Interest Rate Money Factor Residual In order for me to calculate the proper monthly payment for a Passat Lux, I will need to know these three values. In my experience gained in the past 3 weeks, by going to 3 diiferent dealers, I noticed that each one of these 3 values above are different when visiting each dealer. So the questions is: Is there a fix value for the interest rate, money factor and residual. I would think that the interest rate would depend on: 1) One's credit rating and 2) which bank the dealer works with. However, the money factor and residual should be the same throughout the 50 states. Am I right? Anyone? OK, For those interested, I just answered one of my questions: The residual is set by the manufacture at its own leasure. That gives the dealer room to change the residual value of a car. http://www.leaseguide.com/Articles/residualvalues.htm

I don't qualify for the Loyalty program but have been offered the following lease 36 months, 15K miles/year, $1000 due at signing, 35 payments of $469. Only good today, I guess some incentives are expiring at the end of the month.
