The whole fully built/fully loaded thing gets a little blurry sometimes. In OPs defense on one point, with SOT one can’t get dual doors (as those are mutually exclusive options).
Also, to align this deal with the approach many others have taken (mainly going with a single pay) your basic deal probably would be in the mid $14k range (or $390ish/mo effective). From that perspective, I think this would be a pretty strong signing in the current market.
He didn’t really say. Just told me know when I asked if so can do one pay. He said something along the lines if they don’t make any money, but didn’t argue it.
Interesting as I thought dealers made their extra cash at the inception of the lease and by marking up the MF. I am curious if the MF reduction in the Single Pay costs the dealer any profit on the deal.
I have heard that sometimes the single pay deals take a bit longer for the dealer to get paid for (on their end). Im not sure if thats true, but it would explain why a dealer doesnt want to do it. It must either be related to $ or time/effort.
The savings are huge though…but only matters for those keeping the car for awhile.
