Hello fellow hackers, just traded in my Jeep Wrangler 4xe lease for an XC90 T8 Recharge Plus. I was getting bored with the Wrangler and the incentives on the XC90 were too good to pass up. I was going to go with a broker but I ended up grinding my local dealer down to be able to trade my Jeep lease in locally and save a bit on the broker fee + transportation + TAVT taxes.
The dealer wanted to give me a bigger discount and number on my trade in exchange for a slightly higher MF to get the deal I wanted.
MSDs are a formula based on the deal. MSDs are based on your post-tax payment, rounded up to the nearest whole number in increments of $50, post the money factor reduction in payment.
So the math here is as follows (as an example) …
$649 payment is $6500 in MDS / $650 payment is $6500 in MSDs / $651 payment is $7000 in MSDs
