LEASE VS FINANCE CALCULATOR DRIVER
Let's say Driver A buys a car for $30,000 (taxes and fees included) and it's worth $20,000 when he pays it off four years later. They're actually mirror images of each other. Both reflect what the vehicle is worth once you're done making your lease or loan payments. Residual value, on the other hand, is what the dealer would charge to sell you the vehicle at the end of the lease, and is expressed as a percentage of MSRP, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. It's how much the value of the vehicle falls while you own it. Most car and truck owners have a pretty good understanding of depreciation. Both are ways of looking at how much value you got out of the vehicle while you were paying for it. The most important factors in making that determination, after the monthly payments themselves, are the depreciation rate of the vehicle if you're buying it, and its equivalent for a leased vehicle, the residual percentage. You get a brand-new car or truck at a low monthly payment and when the lease is done, simply get to walk away without haggling over a trade-in.īut is it really a good deal? Or are you better off buying the vehicle outright, so you've got something of value at the end of the loan? What's going to be a better strategy over time – to repeatedly lease new vehicles, or to buy new ones and trade them in when it comes time to replace them? Leasing a vehicle is a popular option these days. In addition, Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no sales tax on autos.
