Here is why you need to know the money factor buyers: here is an example you lease a car that cost $25,000 the residual value is $12,500 term is 36 Months money factor is .0019 your monthly payment is $420.66. Now the same lease with a money factor of .0025 gives you a monthly payment of $440.97 $440.97 - $420.66 = $20.31 x 36 months = $731.16 more you paid, because of the higher money factor. Buyers Beware, when someone says money factor is no big deal !!!!!!!!
EXACTLY. This guy is full of it when he said don't negotiate it. That's exactly what you do or else just give the stealership all your hard earned money. And you are correct Spinrod Johannsen as the money factor is indeed the interest rate for a lease.
Are you saying that the bottom line monthly that is on the contract says 420 but then your paying 440??? If not and I would assume the person is signing the lease because they are happy with the monthly they are paying...WHY WOULD THEY CARE ABOUT THE MONEY FACTOR??? Like, I f I know Im getting a good deal on monthly payments...Why would I care if they are getting a good cut??? If in the end I am also getting a good deal from incentives etc....Its not exactly difficult to look up online what a reasonable lease per month is on any vehicle out there with the internet....So if they are giving me a better offer then the avg. Why wouldnt I be happy for them if they are making some good $$ from the deal?? Maybe Im misunderstanding....But it seems like you have some sort of "They are the enemy" mentality....Like they arent a business and shouldnt make $$ or something lol.
As a women who knows nothing about cars, thank you for being honest and teaching me about any potential hidden fees. Leasing for the first time..I feel so naive
Your videos are quite informative. I went into a local Chevy Dealership looking to make a purchase on a Tahoe Premier RST 4x4. Long story short, I silently stood up and began to walk out as I was presented with the first number, which was about $2500 over MSRP. I could see that this “manager” and I were not going to easily come to an agreement, especially when I had printed the internet listing, which was about $8500 below MSRP. This is th dealership that my employer had gotten ALL of the fleet vehicles through, at least up to this point. It’s a shame they weren’t willing to be smart about this. The General Manager called me 2 days ago and basically begged me back in for a second try. I guess the cancellation of a corporate order on 130-160 new vehicles per year (rotation time) opened a few eyes around there.
@@ChevyDude if it's not a scam, why don't they show the money factor on the lease agreement. Never mind the grocery store we are talking hundreds of dollars over the lease term. (Buyers Beware)
@@ChevyDude Grocery stores have expenses too and want to make a profit. Manufacturers clamor and are willing to pay big bucks to get on the shelf. It is also smart business to mark up healthy ' essential' foods like fruits and veggies.
I agree i always want to know money factor x 2400 for interest plus never buy service contracts or key fees from any dealer,the money factor can be huge
service contracts are a scam especially on a lease!!! the car comes with a factory warranty that will cover the car typically 3 years 36000 miles. stay away from service contracts

@@Izzywizzy74 As long as the vehicle isn't too beat up. They usually will charge you later on once an appraiser looks at the vehicle. If you trade-in or sell the vehicle in later(Equity position) that's not technically a a lease return and you don't really have to worry about damage at all.
To find the right money factor, go to the Edmunds forums. If the dealer marks up the money factor even though you have good credit, haggle for a bigger discount
This was extremely helpful. My lease ends in a few months, and the price of the car is higher than the residual value, so I am doing as much research as possible.
I don't agree with you saying just pay the money factor rate the dealer is charging, when I was looking to lease, a dealership wanted to charge me a money factor way higher than a new car interest rate. I walked out of the dealership knowing they are crooks. I went to another dearlership and received a money factor below new car interest rates. Buyers do your own research.

Thanks for this rundown. Just did a new lease, and thought I got a hell of a deal until I got home and saw almost $8k in rental fees. Floored that your contract shows $300! Will be refinancing shortly.
I leased a car one time.. Felt like a fool after paying monthly payments for 3 years and just license plates to show for it, I never planned on buying it out when I purchased it, but it still stung in the end. Now I finance a car so I can enjoy it when the payments are done.
Except ur payments are much more and ur responsible for fixing a vehicle before u even own it. I’m leasing cause the price was literally more than half off, the residual value will have me 3 grand up by the time my lease is up and I don’t have to worry about maintaining anything. It’ll be under warranty the whole time. Cars also rust like crazy where I’m at so by the time ur down paying off a 6-7 year vehicle they’re usually in horrible condition and you don’t get any new safety or technology features.
I would love more videos with info on leasing, I am interested in leasing as I feel it might be the only way I would ever be able to experience driving a new car
Just leased Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid xse. Car sticker is $39300.00. Residual came in at $25800.00 $411.00 monthly payments x39 months. First payment was $1600.00 plus the $411.00. The $1600.00 represented doc fees. Plus $1k down. How did we do?? Thanks
When visiting a car dealer for the purpose of leasing, ask them about the money factor on their leases. It is not something that is routinely discussed in lease transactions because most customers don’t know to ask. You cannot know in advance what lease money factor will be used before you lease unless you ask. In fact, money factor is not even disclosed in car lease contracts. It’s not required by law, as APR interest rate is in loan contracts. If you don’t ask, you’ll never know. If a dealer refuses to disclose this important information to you, find another dealer.
When you find out what money factor is being used in your lease you can convert it to interest rate (multiply money factor by 2400) and compare it to national average auto loan rates from Bankrate.com. You should expect to pay about the same rate for your lease. If you have a poor credit score, you may pay a higher money factor, just as you would pay a higher interest rate on a loan.
My question is if you go into a dealership with already pre approved/approved from you bank or credit union. Will you still get warranty on services? Etc.
So on a lease contract its added upfront about .25 cents extra per mile over the 12,000 miles per year. What happens if the opposite happens? What if after 36 months you mileage was only 26,000 miles instead of the 36,000 miles you were allowed? Does that benefit you in anyway, whether you are buying out or leasing a new car?
The last vehicle I leased was a Chevy 1500. They had the residual value super low, which made my payments pretty high. I went back and forth with the sales manager for a few minutes and they raised the residual a couple thousand dollars. That reduced my payment, but I have no idea what it did for them.

What’s the best way to know the base money factor or to know if they are marking up rent charge? Also is there a limit ethically that they can mark up the rent charge?
Usually 1 pt so if it's .00026 the max markup usually is .00126. depending on the vehicle it could equal 800 to say 1300. Let me guess, you don't want the dealer to make that either..lol
Excellent video, I’ve always leased cars because I feel that getting a new car every 3 years or so is worth it. But I do carry gap insurance on our leased vehicle. I will definitely call Chrysler Capital and ask if gap insurance is included in our payment. We already pay way to much for insurance in Michigan so anything I can save is a blessing. Thanks Chevy dude appreciate your help.
Richard Rybarczyk I added gap through my car insurance too because of not knowing for sure through Chrysler Capital if it’s included or not. Smh... I’m in Michigan as well. And as u prolly know we have the highest insurance rates, so not having to pay for something that should be included in the lease would be great.
Good info, but everyone should at least research what the residual and money factors should be. Definitely DO NOT just let the dealer make money off the money factor, it could be a huge payment if you don't know what it should be.
Hey. So I am a Ford guy. I have leased my last 3 Fords. I am kind of getting sick of the customer service at my ford dealership. I am looking to make a change. That’s right to Chevy. I leased an F-150 as my last truck and because of a job change I am looking to get into something smaller. Can you do a video on the 2019 Chevy blazer?
I don't know about your area, but in NE OH lease payments are lower, yearly mileage allowance higher for Toyota and Honda models compared to many GM models. The fee for going over the allowed yearly mileage is lower as well.
What is the best way to negotiate the Purchase Option at the End of Lease amount? I've leased several cars and I've always privately sold them before the lease terminates, and always more than the residual amount. Also, why would anyone buy a Service Contract on a leased vehicle? Please give me a good explanation because I'm not convinced they're necessary esp since most cars are under full warranty for 36 months and the length of the lease term. You do great videos, I've learned a bunch from them. Thank you👍🏽
you can get the milage changed in the negotiations. I have leased a couple of vehicles in the past. most advertised leases are 10,000 miles per year. you can lease with 12 to 15000 per year but it also changes the payment
Interested too as I have hit 36k miles in 21st month of 3 year/36k mileage lease. Not sure whether to just pay mileage at end of the lease, purchase car or see about turning it in earlier and getting new lease or purchase from the dealer.
@chevydude thank you for these videos, truly a psa, can you explain a little about the contracts and what and how does dealer penetration rates works.? Cause on some of my recent purchases I was able to get service contract cheaper than other...example 2016 purchase a 100k miles for 1900 bucks vs the charger they could only sell to me for 2800 why? Fiance manager said all about penetration rate?
I put 15 k down on a 2021 bmw m4 comp I only ha e 5800 miles do to go back june 3 what should I do Residual value fifty three thousand but I think my car is worth more than that
Can you do an example of a contract that includes a GMS discount (equals $5,710.32), 1500 rebate, zero money down, 36 month term, 12 K miles/year, MSRP = $63,365.00, money factor = 0.00014; residual % = 56%, acquisition fee = $650.00 and doc fee = $250.00
I just leased a car and now waiting for the Honda Civic to arrive. Is it weird that the on the buyers order they can’t give me a full breakdown of what my 3k taxes and fees include? I had to pay a lease deposit of 1k first and they said that’s not a down payment is that right??
A question. I own an older leaf out right. Since the leaf is eligible for the Federal tax credit of $7,500 and our local utility has offered rebate of up to $10k off purchase price too. Is there a way to wind up owning the car at the end of the lease. I was thinking of paying a large down but you said if the car is a loss I would lose that money. Can you enlightened me on this.
Can you please show how to read a buying contract.......I have an apontment to order/buy a Infinity Q60 red sport 400 in July. CAR BUYING contracts. How to read them so you don't get SCAMMED into paying too much.
It brings peace of mind to prevent a huge bill at the return time. You are responsible for not only large scratches and dings but, wheel scraps, interior stains and tears, and worn out tires. The tires alone can cost you 1000 bucks
How many miles though? I got an offer for the same truck 15k miles at 310. But I ended up going with a Colorado WT for 275 cause I’m a broke college student lol. 0 down aswell
@@dash4786 that’s an alright deal, you didn’t do bad. But not amazing. You shoulda squeezed atleast 15k miles outta them. My dads paying 350/mo 0 down on a 1500 Silverado which had an MSRP of 44k. Atleast where I live you coulda got it for around 310/mo
Another great video. Have another video idea. Pros and con of Special order vs buying off the lot. I’m about 3 months or less from buying my wife a new car. She wants a Forrester. Been looking locally in Cincinnati as well as Bachman. No one has any touring models available and we were pushed towards a special order at a local dealership. Not sure how special order affect dealer allocations and their willingness to deal on special orders.
I signed a ton of these contracts and they keep getting bigger and bigger. Question for you Mike, my current lease on my Silverado is about up and I think I want to keep this one. I will have to pay the residual plus sales tax. Is there any other fees? Can I just buy it thru GM financial and not return to the dealership? Thanks man
Hello quick question - I know end-of-year can be a good time to get deals on BUYING a new car...but does end of year also offer good deals on LEASES? Or are December specials only good for buying?
Lol 2300 on a lease for a service contract? Who is dumb enough to buy that 🤣🤣 under warranty the whole time. Ps I’m a finance manager and if I could actually sell that I would but that’s dumb. Wear and tear for 600 is more like it

I say this with respect but don’t listen to this guy. The money factor is an important tidbit to know when leasing the car. If they don’t show you the money factor at the dealership walk out and tell them to have a nice day. If they tell you the money factor (and they should) take that number and multiply it by 2400. Example: .0015 x 2400=3.6%. Assuming you have excellent credit your money factor should be at or near new car finance rates. Most importantly though if you want to lower your monthly lease payments focus on negotiating the price of the car just like you would as if you were purchasing it. Happy leasing…
Not for a lease, only to buy. Honestly, if you tell the dealer your exact interest rate and terms from your bank, they can beat it because they have so many banks to shop the loan to for a better deal.
Wooow so looks like I was about to get ripped off!! The car I want is closer to $30,000 not this $40,000 and yet they trying to charge me $600 and not the $369 the website says!
According to this gentlemen* , you should let the dealers make money on money factor. So basically he's saying you should let the dealers rip you off using money factor. If I had listen to this genius, I would have paid $12,453 as interest (Money factor 0.004) on a $23, 595 depreciation cost (Hyundai Palisade)on a 3 year lease . That is more than 50% of the lease cost in interest for the lease. Such a dump founded advice on MF.
Here is why you need to know the money factor buyers: here is an example
you lease a car that cost $25,000 the residual value is $12,500 term is 36 Months money factor is .0019 your monthly payment is $420.66.
Now the same lease with a money factor of .0025 gives you a monthly payment of $440.97
$440.97 - $420.66 = $20.31 x 36 months = $731.16 more you paid, because of the higher money factor.
Buyers Beware, when someone says money factor is no big deal !!!!!!!!

This. Knowing where to find what has gone into the rent charge is key...a key i do not have haha
Usually 1 pt so if it's .00026 the max markup usually is .00126. depending on the vehicle it could equal 800 to say 1300. Let me guess, you don't want the dealer to make that either..lol
Hahah heck no! On a 50k car that can be 80$+ per month! 50k sticker + 30k residual= 80k times .001
@@06evo9se the money monthly payment being equal to 80 bucks a month...yes. I was talking about the reserve for the dealer
Multiply the stated money factor by 2400 and you will get the APR. 0.00175 x 2400 = 4.2%.
Excellent video, I’ve always leased cars because I feel that getting a new car every 3 years or so is worth it. But I do carry gap insurance on our leased vehicle. I will definitely call Chrysler Capital and ask if gap insurance is included in our payment. We already pay way to much for insurance in Michigan so anything I can save is a blessing. Thanks Chevy dude appreciate your help.
Richard Rybarczyk I added gap through my car insurance too because of not knowing for sure through Chrysler Capital if it’s included or not. Smh...
I’m in Michigan as well. And as u prolly know we have the highest insurance rates, so not having to pay for something that should be included in the lease would be great.
@@marshallfox1786 Imagine CA!!!!!
Good info, but everyone should at least research what the residual and money factors should be. Definitely DO NOT just let the dealer make money off the money factor, it could be a huge payment if you don't know what it should be.
Hey man love your videos very informative any tips about trading in a car with negative equity for a new one ?? Please and thanks
Hey. So I am a Ford guy. I have leased my last 3 Fords. I am kind of getting sick of the customer service at my ford dealership. I am looking to make a change. That’s right to Chevy. I leased an F-150 as my last truck and because of a job change I am looking to get into something smaller. Can you do a video on the 2019 Chevy blazer?
You're an idiot. Leasing is a never ending cycle of debt with zero benefit. Pay cash for whatever you can afford. Or stay in debt forever.
@@bikes7777 you sir, sound like a idiot
I don't know about your area, but in NE OH lease payments are lower, yearly mileage allowance higher for Toyota and Honda models compared to many GM models. The fee for going over the allowed yearly mileage is lower as well.
so what is the $2300 service contract. If it has factory warranty are you paying for aftermarket warranty.
What is the best way to negotiate the Purchase Option at the End of Lease amount? I've leased several cars and I've always privately sold them before the lease terminates, and always more than the residual amount. Also, why would anyone buy a Service Contract on a leased vehicle? Please give me a good explanation because I'm not convinced they're necessary esp since most cars are under full warranty for 36 months and the length of the lease term. You do great videos, I've learned a bunch from them. Thank you👍🏽
You typically can’t. It’s set in stone as it’s a closed end lease. Imagine if banks had that power in reverse? 😳
Clear as mud!
Great video, are the miles driven per year and additional miles rate negotiable?
you can get the milage changed in the negotiations. I have leased a couple of vehicles in the past. most advertised leases are 10,000 miles per year. you can lease with 12 to 15000 per year but it also changes the payment
@@allenhigginbotham3740 Thanks

Good video! Can you do a part 2 about getting out of a lease early. I desperately want to get rid of my company leased 2017 Silverado ASAP.
I like this idea :)
If you have a ride lease, Why?
JAL Hellcat It was a typo. I want to get rid of my lease early, not a ride lease.
@@stretchsws6 My Wife has had a Honda lease for years, her Dealership ship said will let her out at anytime. Just did 9 months early... Just ask.
Interested too as I have hit 36k miles in 21st month of 3 year/36k mileage lease. Not sure whether to just pay mileage at end of the lease, purchase car or see about turning it in earlier and getting new lease or purchase from the dealer.
The only thing that prevents me from leasing again is the insurance... going from state minimums to 100/300 bumps my payment way too much
What state?
@chevydude thank you for these videos, truly a psa, can you explain a little about the contracts and what and how does dealer penetration rates works.?
Cause on some of my recent purchases I was able to get service contract cheaper than other...example 2016 purchase a 100k miles for 1900 bucks vs the charger they could only sell to me for 2800 why? Fiance manager said all about penetration rate?
Still looking for video of lease turn in early and what to expect.
Hey Mike, did u have a chance to double check with Chrysler Capital if all their leases include gap as mentioned in ur previous video/ reply? Thanks
I put 15 k down on a 2021 bmw m4 comp I only ha e 5800 miles do to go back june 3 what should I do Residual value fifty three thousand but I think my car is worth more than that
Can you do an example of a contract that includes a GMS discount (equals $5,710.32), 1500 rebate, zero money down, 36 month term, 12 K miles/year, MSRP = $63,365.00, money factor = 0.00014; residual % = 56%, acquisition fee = $650.00 and doc fee = $250.00
He actually said the money factor is good for the customer….
So no money factor printed on the deal sheet?
Mike, Great Video!! Thank you so much for the all the Valuable Information!!
I just leased a car and now waiting for the Honda Civic to arrive. Is it weird that the on the buyers order they can’t give me a full breakdown of what my 3k taxes and fees include? I had to pay a lease deposit of 1k first and they said that’s not a down payment is that right??
great video. can you show us a buying contract? thanks
What’s the difference between leasing a car financing a car please
The Dislike Are From Scammer And Ford Dealership.
Is there a min of full coverage insurance on a lease
If you have good credit. Can you skip the so called 2000 fee/such?
A question. I own an older leaf out right. Since the leaf is eligible for the Federal tax credit of $7,500 and our local utility has offered rebate of up to $10k off purchase price too. Is there a way to wind up owning the car at the end of the lease. I was thinking of paying a large down but you said if the car is a loss I would lose that money. Can you enlightened me on this.
How does it work when I have been leasing with Ford but want to switch to chevy? Will Chevy take my leased Ford so I can get into a Tahoe?
what if you have a trade-in with positive equity
This was a really good video.
That will only make the company have more car sold.
Will you know any dealer in canada Vancouver is recommended?
Can you please show how to read a buying contract.......I have an apontment to order/buy a Infinity Q60 red sport 400 in July. CAR BUYING contracts. How to read them so you don't get SCAMMED into paying too much.
5:27 Larry?
Are wear and tear add ons worth it for leases in general? Especially higher mileage leases?
It brings peace of mind to prevent a huge bill at the return time. You are responsible for not only large scratches and dings but, wheel scraps, interior stains and tears, and worn out tires. The tires alone can cost you 1000 bucks
I leased a Chevy Colorado LT which was a $34,000 vehicle. I got it for $329 a month with zero down.
How many miles though? I got an offer for the same truck 15k miles at 310. But I ended up going with a Colorado WT for 275 cause I’m a broke college student lol. 0 down aswell
@@Usicky12 36,000 for the three years
@@dash4786 that’s an alright deal, you didn’t do bad. But not amazing. You shoulda squeezed atleast 15k miles outta them. My dads paying 350/mo 0 down on a 1500 Silverado which had an MSRP of 44k. Atleast where I live you coulda got it for around 310/mo
Another great video. Have another video idea. Pros and con of Special order vs buying off the lot. I’m about 3 months or less from buying my wife a new car. She wants a Forrester. Been looking locally in Cincinnati as well as Bachman. No one has any touring models available and we were pushed towards a special order at a local dealership. Not sure how special order affect dealer allocations and their willingness to deal on special orders.
I signed a ton of these contracts and they keep getting bigger and bigger. Question for you Mike, my current lease on my Silverado is about up and I think I want to keep this one. I will have to pay the residual plus sales tax. Is there any other fees? Can I just buy it thru GM financial and not return to the dealership? Thanks man
Hello quick question - I know end-of-year can be a good time to get deals on BUYING a new car...but does end of year also offer good deals on LEASES? Or are December specials only good for buying?
Lol 2300 on a lease for a service contract? Who is dumb enough to buy that 🤣🤣 under warranty the whole time. Ps I’m a finance manager and if I could actually sell that I would but that’s dumb. Wear and tear for 600 is more like it
U are a godsend
Well now i know. Thanks Mike
I’m looking for a brand new 2018 camaro 2SS but i only find them out of state. I’m in California. How can I get a dealership here to bring me one from out of state? Is there a fee for that?
I came to the dealer ship and ask them looking the car I want. They told me they will add fee for shipped.
Went to BMW to lease a 2020 X6. Salesman told me 10k for 12 mos with 9000 down. I laugh and walked out. Now i see my instincts were right. $4500 down 12k for 36 mos or i walk...
Do you have any suggestions im trying to get the new kia telluderide
Problem I have most with dealerships are all the “fees”. $650 to sell me a car plus a “Rent charge” of $237.25
Cost of doing business
toyoscio not for me.
@@scottlauderbaugh1214 Good for you
What about a high mileage lease
Great video. Chevy Dude I would like for you to redo this video if possible . But a much slower explanation my head is spinning. 😳
Can I put a down payment for my first car on my card or do I need cash as a down payment
Cash
@@MrFlyboy1313 Why cant you put it on a 0% cc??
0:04 I'll have my attorney look it over, first, and get back to you.
I say this with respect but don’t listen to this guy. The money factor is an important tidbit to know when leasing the car. If they don’t show you the money factor at the dealership walk out and tell them to have a nice day. If they tell you the money factor (and they should) take that number and multiply it by 2400. Example: .0015 x 2400=3.6%. Assuming you have excellent credit your money factor should be at or near new car finance rates. Most importantly though if you want to lower your monthly lease payments focus on negotiating the price of the car just like you would as if you were purchasing it. Happy leasing…
I'm getting charged $995 bank fee is that normal?
Is it better to get a loan from my bank before hand than go with the car dealers to avoid getting screwed?
yes
Not for a lease, only to buy. Honestly, if you tell the dealer your exact interest rate and terms from your bank, they can beat it because they have so many banks to shop the loan to for a better deal.
I sold this dude shirts today lol
Wooow so looks like I was about to get ripped off!! The car I want is closer to $30,000 not this $40,000 and yet they trying to charge me $600 and not the $369 the website says!
According to this gentlemen* , you should let the dealers make money on money factor. So basically he's saying you should let the dealers rip you off using money factor. If I had listen to this genius, I would have paid $12,453 as interest (Money factor 0.004) on a $23, 595 depreciation cost (Hyundai Palisade)on a 3 year lease . That is more than 50% of the lease cost in interest for the lease. Such a dump founded advice on MF.
Do leases qualify for manufacturer rebates and incentives?
They typically are different from retail purchases
Great Video !
My contract says “Retail installment sale”- simple finance charge does this mean I have more than 36 months?
