#231 of 879 What does the money factor mean ? by sugrad

Nov 05, 2007 (8:52 pm)

Pardon the ignorance but I never leased before.
Is a lower money factor like the .00155 gotten by spd1980 better or worse than the .002750 I was offered ?
I was trying to get an apr from the dealer but they said leasing arrangements don't use apr.
So I need some help to figure out Deal or No Deal.
 
Thanks

I leased an 08 RDX with Tech two weeks ago from Springfield Acura in NJ for $506 a month, tax included, with $1500 total out of pocket. Although I am very good with numbers, the bottom line with me is always how much am I paying a month. Residuals and money factors are all well and good, but isn't the most important thing your monthly payment and coming up with as little as possible at signing? By the way, is this a good deal or did I get taken? By the way, although I like the car, the mileage is worse than I thought it would be and I wasn't expecting much.. I am getting about 10 MPG doing mostly city driving, worse than my WRX. Also, the acceleration is mediocre at best to me and I am used to turbos.

sugrad,
 
I am new to leasing also but from my research you want the lowest money factor possible. This is usually based on what the leasing company is offering at the time you are shopping and should be the same at all dealers. Car_man can probably confirm the .00155 number bu since it is the beginning of the month it should be the same for you if you credit is good and you qualify.
 
As an example, using my exact lease deals in a leasing calculator my monthly payment would go from 390 to 450 a month or an increase of 60 dollars a month.

Ok...I'm a real novice...I just quoted from a NJ dealer- $468 per month (total with tax)...$1506 total down...36 months...15,000 miles. This is for the RDX base...is this offer too good to be true? I've asked about additional fees....yada, yada, yada,...they keep saying that's it. Is there something I'm missing? I'm a single female and just a little concerned.
