Need help with figuring out numbers. I have a 2019 VW Jetta that has two payments left on it ($267.00 all in). The dealer is offering me trade equity of $6,625.00. My residual amount shows $12,877.50.
The deal they are offering me is as follows:
MSRP: $36,730
Sale Price: $39,730 (I know its 3k higher)
Trade Equity: $6,625.00
Residual: $18,732.00 (47.15%)
MF: .00302
Term: 48 Months / 10k Miles
Monthly Payment (Plus Tax): $472.00 + Tax
My question is how to factor in the trade equity into the calculator? I understand that these numbers are a bit high in general (edmunds MF should be .00242 and Residual 58%). Just unsure how to negotiate with the trade equity.
We’re a one car household. Basically its moving from one lease to the next.
I haven’t moved on arguing selling price yet but that’s the next step. I guess I just brain farted and didn’t think $6,625 is basically a down payment on the next lease.
