Not sure if I calculated everything right, but my total payment should be $4,100 drive-off and then the acquisition fee at the end of $495. Leasehackr Score of 15.5 is not quite ‘legendary’ levels, but I don’t know that I can do much better. I’m up against the 9.5% tax rate too. Haven’t been able to find anything cheaper (literally just need any car as a second car, without dealing with older vehicles/complicated private sales). Tell me if I’m wrong!

Theres already a topic where you should have posted but calculations look good. Do u have a college kid in household? U can get an additional 500 rebate i think. Also waive the 650 acquisition to increase MF and it will lower your total.

Do you have a better deal for me in LA/SoCal? :slight_smile: PM me!

You should wind up lower than 0.00206 I believe if you are waiving the bank fee and then knocking it back down for a one pay.
