Car Leasing Tips

Money Factor is a way of expressing the interest rate on a lease. To convert to APR, multiply by 2400.
Residual value is typically higher for luxury vehicles and lower for economy cars.
Most leases include a mileage allowance. Going over this limit will incur excess mileage fees (typically $0.15-0.30 per mile).
You can typically negotiate the selling price of the vehicle, but not the residual value or money factor.
Consider "lease swaps" or takeover options if you need to exit a lease early.
Watch out for hidden fees at the end of the lease, such as wear and tear charges.
