So I got a 300$ higher tradein value for my caliber at the dealership, and it brought my out the door to 1500 for 222 a month. I ended up getting the tire package because there are tons of potholes and shitty roads where I live - Gross cap cost: 21815 (value 19854) cap cost reduction: 2050.77 adjusted cap cost: 19764 residual: around 14k depreciation: 5.5k this is where I think I got screwed with the cap cost reduction and depreciation value… not sure maybe you guys would know better… base monthly payment: 213$ monthly sales tax: 14.92 total monthly: 228 ( with tire and service package, I prolly couldve done my own oil changes but am lazy) down payment: 1700 (1000 tradein for a car I thought would get me 500)… I realize this is a high downpayment with the tradein value but for me it was a no brainer as I wanted that thing gone… Thanks for all the help guys, my next lease will be a lot easier after experiencing the whole process. And man did the finance guy push 100x harder all the packages than the salesman
