hmmmm... i dunno. $5k difference can make up for ALOT of interest.
 
Actually, if I use Edmunds default lease rate of .0029 and knock the additional $5k off the cap cost, I get a payment of $601.98, so just $1 more than paying invoice at the subsidized rate.
 
So if one could manage to find a bank or credit union with a lower lease rate than .0029 and the same residual value, then they'd be better off than taking Volvo's deal. Feel free to correct me because leasing is still quite foreign to me.

You forgot about the residual.
Bank residual is 43%, not the 53% it is w/ VFNA

That is why you lease it thru VFNA
 
Then, you just turn it in at the end and let the finance co take the hit.

Hi.. thanks for the info.
 
Yeah... the MF is good, very good. The dealer is telling me there really are no incentives on this car... too much of a niche market. Anyone hear different?
 
So here is where I am...
MF .00059
RV 53%
MSRP 45,180
Price 42,930 (says it is just 2% over invoice)
36mo/15k miles
Monthly payment $673 ($589 + $32 sales tax + 51 excise tax (a MA thing)
Out of pocket: $1718
 
It just seems really high to me, from what I have been reading in these forums.
 
Using the calc on Leaseguide.com it comes out to $566 plus $28 for tax.
 
Thoughts?

well now you've jumped from $600 to $673. As I said in my post, it would be $600 for me with my state sales tax, which is 6%. Looks like yours is about 5.5%?
 
I have no idea what that extra tax is. If you say its mandatory in MA, then I guess there's nothing you can do about it.
 
Personally, I think 2% over invoice is still too much. With the huge incentives on purchases Volvomax and I were just talking about, I don't think you should be paying much over invoice at all (or even exactly invoice).
 
In any case, I'd ask the dealer why their calculations are not jiving.
 
Are you SURE that $589 doesn't already include the tax? Because when I put those numbers into edmunds calculator and use 5.5% tax rate, the total payment comes to about $590 (which, by the way, is $561 + $30 tax, so a bit different than leaseguide told you).
 
Another question is, what are all the fees? Are they adding in additional costs that are not being covered by your $1700 down, and, therefore, are being rolled into the payment?

Hi.
 
Yeah.. the first time around I think the dealer had more of a deposit in the calculation. The $589 does not include taxes... it breaks down with $589 + $32 (5% sales tax) + $52 (Called excise tax, state vehicle property tax - I think it is a MA thing) Usually it is not in the lease, we get annual tax bills... but this lender adds it to the monthly payment. So I guess it is really closer to 589 + 32 = $621 with normal lease and tax payments.
 
The fees are like this: 1st month payment- $673, Reg- $81, Doc fee $289, and Security $673. Total of $1,718 (rounding errors I guess)
 
Now when I ran these figures in Edmunds I am getting like $672. But... not sure I am running them correct.
 
This is my first lease, can you tell?

MF .00059

Due at signing $1,500

I'm not sure how you are getting $672 through edmunds. Like I said, I'm getting $590 using your numbers (excluding the excise tax).
 
Are you using the MSRP in the top box rather than the purchase price? That box is for purchase price. Also, the residual is calculated off the MSRP, not purchase price. So your residual number is like $23k and change. Then, of course, enter your tax rate and MF.

You know... I might have been doing that, using the MSRP in the top box. It seems to be coming out right now... with my most recent deal number.. .$546 and change.
 
I am pretty happy with the number, so I think I am going to pull the trigger.
 
Thanks everybody for the assistance.
