“Hello, so I leased my car (Honda Civic) for the first time yesterday… Salesperson and I agreed on the monthly lease I’m okay with(466 x 48 months), and it was fine until this financial manager lady in the end hustled me into signing a bunch of warranty for ~3k. In that moment, I was in quite a rush as I was late for my job and signed the lease… (monthly payment went up from 466 to 540”

What’s wrong with using Rule of Thumb (1%) to evaluate a deal quickly and then using @mllcb42’s patented formula to get the real numbers …
You know how engineers test concrete in the field using a slump test? They don’t run fancy numbers. They put it in a bucket and plop the concrete out on the ground… rule of thumb … If something is not right, then they go back to the specs and see what what the “numbers” are …

Because 1.25% might be an amazing deal on some cars and 0.75% might be a terrible deal on others.
