📚 Understanding Auto Leasing

Auto Price

Also known as capitalized cost, this is the retail price of the car. You can often negotiate this down just like when buying a car.

Money Factor

This is the interest rate expressed differently for leases. To convert to APR, multiply by 2400.

Residual Value

The estimated worth of the vehicle at the end of the lease. Higher residual values mean lower monthly payments.

Lease vs Buy

Leasing typically offers lower monthly payments but you don't build equity. Consider your driving habits and preferences.
