First time leaser and have been trying to absorb as much from this forum as possible! I had all my numbers worked out on the calculator and sent the offer to the dealer and they responded today with some whack numbers.
Here was my offer:
" We would like to offer $85500 for the Volvo with an agreed MF of 0.00356 and RV of 60% (36/10k lease).
Our trade-in is clean and is a garage kept 2nd vehicle and would like to get $18000 that will be applied toward the lease.
The $7500 lease bonus is a must have as well."
I was coming up with a sub-$600 36/10 lease.
They came back with a $763 36/10 lease.
Looks like they are assuming I am paying the taxes upfront ant capitalizing the dealer fees. I’m still going to push for my initial $85500 offer (especially since it is a demo (2000 miles)). Waiting on edmunds to verify the MF/RV
Sales Tax = 3335.27
This means that there is a total of 3335.27/.07 = 47646.71 worth of taxable items. I thought that VA levies sales tax on the selling price plus fees. The SP = 86574.00. I tried to compute the tax every which way to midnight and was unable to get 3335.27.The closest I’ve gotten is…
7% x (38134.77 + 8000 + 2092) = 3375.87 where 38134.77 reflects the depreciation.
So, I have no idea what they’re doing in that regard. I would get a breakdown of the 2092 fees as well as a breakdown of the taxes.
What is the preferred way to deal with a trade-in when leasing? Should I sell out right, pay the higher monthly payment and draw from the money received from the sale to pay for the lease?
LOL. Demo with 2k should be a 10% off MSRP from the few deals I see on XC90’s from a few years ago tho…… $82k and we’ll see what they say. No sweat off my back. There’s other options out there.
I do know he is a broker.
I do not know his fee structure.
I have no idea what he can do on a Volvo.
I do know he has a few good one-liners.
I also know he has an odd way of attracting customers.
They are trying to help you. Your deal isn’t good and @aronchi has offered to help you do better. As you have acknowledged, you aren’t experienced with leasing. I would suggest working with @aronchi and ending up with a solid deal without having to hassle with the dealer.
