Ok, I told the dealer that I was looking at the Buick Enclave Essence, I even said that I used the MF and RV and calculated the monthly to be about $360 with zero down but expected it to be lower since I qualify for the GM educator discount.
He sends me back saying that’s not possible and sends me that zero down would be 400 and that I am calculating something wrong.
I asked him straight out what the dealer fee and acquisition fees are, he said dealer fee is 75 plus 104.50 for titling, and acquisition is 650. He said he included the GM discount but I dont know if that is true.
This is his calculations sheet
MSRP: 43775
Discount: 6656.61
Rebate: 2500
Adjusted Price: 34619.39
Total Purchase: 34619.39
Trade Difference: 34619.39
Taxable Fees (estimated): 66.50
Dealer Service Charge: 179.50
Tax: 166.82
Non Tax Fees: 177.00
Net Price: 35903.21
I dont understand why the calculator is so off, I have tried other cars and MF and Residuals and the leasehacker calculator is always under than what these dealerships are saying.
You’re 100% not leasing an Enclave at 18% off unless it’s offset by massive dealer adds. Can you get a dealer sheet or a screen shot of the desking to clarify?
Something is way off with your numbers. We went through a similar exercise in your other thread:
Please just click the “share link” button under the memo column so we can manipulate the numbers instead of having to re-enter everything from a screenshot
So update with your new numbers. Dealer website advertised sales prices are basically useless. They almost always include some combination of incentives that no one actually ever qualifies for. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some combination of incentives being applied here as well to get you to that 18% number.
Back to my earlier question; did the dealer tell you what rv/mf they’re using in their offer?
