I really couldn’t make sense of all the taxes and the negative depreciation, but somehow we’re here. I know that the MF is marked up, but the discount is pretty steep along with the credits. Any other thoughts?
About to send the credit app.
If you’ve actually managed to get an 8k one pay in New York you should take it and run.
Normally the taxes kill the deal but since you’ve gotten so much money off to get it into negative depreciation, you’re using the taxes to make up for it, which is saving the deal
Your one pay payment = 12 x 2582.17 + 3098.64 - 26000 = 8064.68
Sales tax rate = 10.00%
12 X 2582.17 x 10% = 3098.64 Tax
Your capitalized cost of 98680.75 is the sell price. The discount = 17414.25 or 15% off MSRP. Coupled with a 26,000 rebate doesn’t seem bad. Is the discount a true dealer discount? Does it include incentives like a manufacturer to dealer incentive or any other rebate/incentive? Next, you have a total owed of 1997 plus an additional capitalized cost of 1776.50. I would get a break down of both fees. Are those fees taxable? The two fees are being capitalized and, therefore, taxed as they are captured in the base payment upon which, tax is levied. If any of the embedded fees are non-taxable, I would pay them upfront which would save you some money.
EDIT: Money factor seems steep for a one-pay (about 7%)
One other thing… As far as I can see, you only owe the one pay at lease inception. The first payment due at start is already included in the one-pay. Also, you should pay both fees discussed above upfront to save money (finance charge). It doesn’t make any sense to cap those fees if you’re doing a one-pay. If you do so, then your adj cap = 98680.75… same as sell price . and NO negative amortization… your residual is 77,783.65… a long way from 98,680.75.
2582.17 x 1.10 = 2840.39
and
12 x 2582.17 x 10% = 3098.60 close enough.
I thought the NY tax rate was 8.875% as well. Then, I thought that perhaps there are exceptions. Maybe the dealer screwed up. Their worksheet leaves much to be desired. It’s sloppy.
@delta737h there is no point in driving yourself crazy to make sense of this one pay deal, New York taxation rules are extremely complicated, if you cap taxes they get taxed, and in this case you’re capping over 2.1k in rebate taxes and then the taxes owed on the final one pay which are also then technically taxed.
I ran this deal backwards in a calc, the only way you get there with NYS tax is around 12-13% off with that money factor. OP has a very solid deal and he shouldn’t potentially lose it to over analyzing it. I’m sure others are already trying to find this car based on the MSRP.
I think the help you provide is amazing, for the record, but my professional advice from the other side is that the one pay math in NY especially is complex and many dealer systems don’t even accurately represent it.
It’s not shocking his tax rate looks like an effective 10% when there’s double taxation happening.
Absolutely! Pay them upfront and you will also lower your one-pay payment…
Base pay = .00292 x (98680.75 + 77783.65) + (98680.75 - 77783.65)/12
= 2256.70
one pay = 12 x 2256.70 + 2708.04 - 26000
= 3788.44
The 2708.04 is sales tax @10% levied on 12 x 2256.70.
So, you would owe upfront, assuming no tax on those two additional fees or, any portion thereof…
3788.44 + 1997 + 1776.50 = 7561.94 for a savings of 522.74 (8084.68 - 7561.94).
You’re saving some tax and interest. The only unknown is how much, if any, of the 1997 and 1776.50 is taxable. The amount due would increase by the amount of that tax.
