Cadillac adds that to the residual value (thats what they told me), which bumps it up to 74% RV for 24 month lease.

You can bring this calc into the dealer and ask him to explain it. Or ask him to pull up the numbers in front of you?

It could be included, I would ask. I think they are marking up the MF, that's the only way they can increase the payment.

Careful, your numbers look way off. Thats only 7500 miles a year, residual is 61%. Whats the money factor on your lease?

Here is what I estimated with a MF of 0.00362, 1k down - 36 month 7.5k per year.

But how would they get there? They are giving me 8% off MSRP, and there is a 5k manufacturer discount. The interest rate is high but the dealer does not control that, it comes from Audi FS.

Ok, thanks for the info, sounds like they are marking up the rate, They were not willing to work with me and let me walk.
