How to Calculate Residual Amount by doubleh

Howdy,
 
I have begun getting pricing information from a few dealers in the area. They are all quoting 47% residual value, but the actual dollar amount is different. I though residual was calculated on the MSRP and not the selling price, but maybe I am wrong. For Example...If I have a selling price of $29,200 and a 47% residual rate how do I calculate the residual dollar amount? Are there any tricks I need to know about?
 
thanks!

Howdy,
 
Could someone provide some guideance and/or resources on pros and cons of trading in my car or sellnig it privately and using the cash as down payment. I seem to remember taxes come in to play and depending on the vehicle it may be better trading it in. I live in Canada if that helps with the taxes.
 
Thanks

I'm no professional, so take my input with a grain or barrel of salt.
 
I believe the residual is based on factors like length of lease and miles alloted per year. The more miles/year you add the lower the residual.
 
The $1500 lease incentive was not advertised. The internet manager I was dealing with brought it up and factored it in to the deal.
 
As far as selling/trading car: you'll likely get more $$ if you sell yourself. Not sure if how Canada laws and taxes work with selling a car. One thing to consider is not putting money down on a lease. Yes this will lower your payment, but it is lost money if something happens to the vehicle. If you do the calculations you'll find that you may be better off saving the money you would have used to lower the cap cost and applying it towards your payment each month.
 
Just my input.

I wished I would have save all my links and documentation, but I lost it all somehow. Edmunds has some good info on leasing in their Tips section. If you do a google search on "auto leasing" or something similar you'll proabably find a lot as well. There are instructions out there to manually calculate the figures which I found very helpful to understanding the total deal.
 
Real world scenario: My Santa Fe is my second lease I've ever done. The 1st was a G35 Coupe. I put about $3K down on the Coupe to get the payments where I wanted them. However, my family expanded and I transferred the lease after a year. So even though I saved $50/mo for that year, the $2400 was basically lost. Same thing if you total it. In a lease, the insurance will only pay what is owed on the car. Even if the value is greater, you don't get the difference.
 
This time I walked out the door with just the bare minimum out of pocket. Good luck with the process and hope this helps.

Doubleh, the lease cash is not something that Hyundai advertises, but trust me it definitely exists.

Hey doubleh. Vehicles' residual values are indeed based upon a percentage of their MSRPs including destination charges and the MSRPs of any options that can be residualized. Perhaps the specific Santa Fe model that you are interested in contains some options that cannot be fully residualized, such as dealer installed options. This is one possible explanation for the difference in residual value.

Doubleh, there's nothing wrong with trading in a vehicle when you lease a new one. However, it is in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a capitalized cost reduction for your lease. I always advise consumers against making large down payments on leased vehicles because consumers who make them risk losing them if their leased vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

thanks, but it's still not making sense because i told the dealers the samething. i told them exactely what i was looking for and they provided the same residual percentage, but different residual amounts. are they playing games?

Where to get lease numbers? by theericharris1

Hello,
  
We are looking at trading in our 2005 Santa Fe (3.5L) for a new 2007 Santa Fe Limited (MSRP $27,600). The new Santy is a huge improvement over our current one!
  
Anyways, I know a Santa Fe is probably not ideal to lease due to its horrible resale value, but I'm hoping the dealer can work some magic or Hyundai comes out with some good incentives.
  
Does anyone know where Hyundai Financial posts its money factor and residual numbers? I'd like to get this information before going to the dealer again.
 
We were quoted a $395 lease with $2,500 (or $440/month) down that included $550 refundable deposit, $550 acq. fee, $150 docs, and $1,500 in negative equity. We'll pull the trigger if we can get out the door with $0 down and $400 month, plus out of our 2005 Santa Fe which we still owe $19,100 on. We just don't want to own this car anymore and would rather get a better car for the same monthly payment for 3 years and then start over with nothing.
  
I see Hyundai has a $1000 rebate along with $500 loyalty cash. So this gives us $1500 off MSRP right away before negotiating.
 
Thanks!
