Just got my new 2022 Expedition Limited. Pretty nice car and overall very excited +)
However, one thing bothers me is the lease payment which is much higher compared to my own calculation (we signed the contract anyway given it was late night). Would really appreciate if anyone can help us make sense of the monthly payment.
Selling Price: 73k
Trade-in: 12k
Down Payment: 3k
Adj Capitalized Amount: 62k
Residual Value: 46k
Lease Rate: 4.55%; 3yr / 10.5k mi
Depreciation: 16k
Rent Charge: 11k (***This is the part we are questioning)
Base monthly pay: 763
We did some research, and my understanding is rent charge is calculated as below:
- money factor = 4.55 / 2400 = 0.001896
- rent charge = (Adj Capitalized Amount + Residual Value) * MF * Term = ~7372
If the calculation above is correct, base monthly pay will be (16k + 7372) / 36 = 649 (vs. 763 calculated by dealer)
Did I miss anything in the calculation or the dealer calculation is actually correct? Thanks everyone in advance!
