You keep saying this and you keep being incorrect. That is not how the contractual requirements behind the lease work.
Just to further clarify, the dealer can not hit you for 100% depreciation on a factory installed option. If they do so, the residual value on the lease will be incorrect and the lease contract will not fund.
What they can do is jack up the sales price, giving less discount that the corporate advertised deal (which generally is a crap deal anyway, and rarely hard to get much better than). That may make you feel that they’re not residualizing the factory installed options, but that is not what is going on.
These forums are for sharing information so that those, even with years of leases behind them, can learn to put themselves in a more prepared situation for maximizing their leasing value. You’d be better off leaving the attitude at the door and realizing that time in field doesn’t make you correct here. Instead, take the opportunity to learn so that on your next lease, you can be more successful.
I forgot a few of you guys in this thread are detail word nerds on the internet forums…I understand that you don’t know how to say thank you so no worries…go back to living in your moms basement
For the guys who didnt know about this awesome deal that I helped…cool
There’s nothing helpful about being an ass because people are saying information that you disagree with.
You’re on a forum that’s based around educating people into the intricacies of leasing so that they may be as well prepared as possible for success. In that context, words have meaning. Going into a negotiation prepared with the details of what the deal is, how the numbers are calculated, etc gives you as the consumer the strongest foundation for success. It doesn’t do anyone any good to conflate the numbers with incorrect information. You can take the opportunity to learn so that you’re better prepared in the future or not. Bloviating about your net worth and insulting people because they’re providing contrarian information has no place here.
You are wrong and you are ungrateful. For the guys having problems tryimg to get their dealer to cut the deal a little flexibility as you roll to slightly higher msrp is helpful.
Sticking to your specific analytic when guys cant get their dealer with the car they want to get…
An easy way to move them is as I suggested…
If its too abstract a concept to comprehend I understand you are too selfish and only thinking of yourself.
At the end of the day my meathod of negotiating is only a few dollars off yours and it allows the buyer and the dealer to come to terms amicably.
I understand bringing this to the forum for so many calculation nerds can be sketchy…
The only one being an ass is you.
Some in fact most dealers wont sell a corporate deal all the way down the line including options above and beyond the detailed msrp.
Realizing that and trying to help forum members get a really good deal plus the full cost of a few options that are not included by GM corporate gets more people into a cool 455 hp v8 camaro to enjoy.
Glad I broght this cool deal to the forum and you could just say thank you.
For those that could squeeze a few extra nickels out of a deal so tight the dealer isnt happy your wonderful and get three gold stars
I like to finish deals with both sides smiling/as friends. Didnt do any of the research/try to push more. Just landed on a number I was comfortable with. $10 more per month wont change my life.
