If lease has high MF (.00173), is it better to pay upfront fees (tax, regist, doc fee, acq fee) instead of rolling in

As title states, would it better to pay upfront fees at signing instead of paying high interest on them during lease? Opinions please.

Paying fees upfront is really a risk you have to hedge.

If you total your car tomorrow, what you paid upfront is gone.

Whereas if you roll it into monthly, you pay a portion of those total fees during the entire duration of your lease and won’t lose all of it since it’s spread out.

So you will need to balance the extra interest charges and the risk you want to take (given by how safe you think you drive/how often you drive) by either rolling fees monthly or DAS.

Irrelevant without all the details of the deal. :crystal_ball::mage: Plus it’s only adding $1.73 of rent charge to the lease per month for every $1000.

That risk is way exaggerated tho

The risk is low but so is the cost to protect against it

Oh, that’s how it works. Thx!
