so if my lease is worth 30% of the overall value, doesnt the cash down apply towards the 30%, which in essence helps reduce my monthly payment?

or i totally wrong? lol!

At the end of the day total cash delivered is $3500 in exchange for the keys. I'm going to explore the MSD too.
Hrm, something doesn't add up...

After putting in $5000 in additional fees..do I then come up with your monthly payment after such a hefty down payment.

I assumed $500 Registration Fee already and $0 Lease Inception Fee.

.0019 * 2400 money factor = 4.56% APR is way too high.

What about the bank fee? Was that waived?

Maybe?

...there seems to be a mysterious $5000 that I can't seem to account for...maybe the bank fee was rolled into the mysterious $5000...

Faifai, isn't the base cap cost the price the dealer sold it to him? Where did you get your number?

Base Cap Cost is the "Cash Price" of the vehicle.

Based upon the numbers provided, I'm unable to come up with the ~$599 payment.

...by adding another $5000 in additional fees, do I then come up to $599/mth...

Redid the calcs.

The "mysterious" fees are now $2200 to come up with a ~$599 pmt.

Mysterious fees could include:
- Tags/Registration/Title
- Doc Fee
- Lease Acquisition/Bank Fee

Default The best offer I could get.....

The best here, from the dealer where I just bought a new RX, was $500 under MSRP on the GS F Sport. I passed.I have been happy with my SC400 for the past 18 years, so I am in no hurry to replace it. The dealer says he will be able to do better on the GS in a couple of months. He is usually pretty fair. He offered me a new IS350C for $1000 under invoice a few months ago.

Out of 3 dealers in NYC area, $1000 off MSRP was the lowest deal I've gotten. This was a purchase & finance deal.

Default Invoice pricing

When the salesman shows you the invoice price he is willing to let you have the car for, that is not a real invoice price ( as that is not what the dealer paid). That so called invoice price can be a few thousand more than what the dealer paid. You think they could stay in business if they sold you the car for what they paid for it. There are presently no holdbacks or kickbacks from the manufacturer. So how do you think he makes his profit?

quite honestly, i think i agree with Valley101. i've been to many dealerships lately looking for an SUV for the wife and kids. From previous dealership purchases and our recent MDX hunting visits, we have had a few salesmen show us their "invoice" price. I call foul because all of them basically say something similar in that it is "illegal" for them to "show" me this price, that he/she/the salesman could lose his/her job over showing me their invoice price.

to me, it's now just become another "sales" tactic stealerships use to try to lure us ignorant buyers into thinking they're working for us in getting us the best deal. sad part is, those people who dont do their homework and research ahead fall for this (as well as many other stealership tactics). SIGH

My 2 cents.
