How to read these numbers
- Due at signing on a lease is everything you pay on signing day: the first payment, the down payment, tax, the acquisition fee, the doc fee and registration.
- Money factor is the lease interest rate set by the bank. Multiply it by 2400 to get an approximate APR.
- Residual value is what the bank says the car is worth at lease end. A higher residual means a lower payment.
- In California, lease sales tax is charged on each monthly payment and once at signing on the down payment (capitalized cost reduction), the acquisition fee and the doc fee, at the rate of the place where the car is registered. Registration (DMV) is not taxed, and tax is not charged on the full price of the car.
- The Hunter Lease service fee is paid once at booking. It is not part of the monthly payment or the due at signing amount.
- Hunter Lease is California’s platform for pre-negotiated new-car deals. You sign directly with the authorized dealer and the lender.

Based on statistical data from Hunter Lease users. This is not a pre-approval. The bank makes the decision.
The estimates are for $3,000 down on a lease and $5,000 down on a loan.
Negative items: repossession, 60+ days late, bankruptcy, fraud. A co-signer never lowers your odds: we show the better of the two, yours alone or with the co-signer.
What moves the estimate in these rows: a co-signer (on a lease 76% instead of 73% with a 680-719 score and 1 to 3 years of history, 76% instead of 37% with a 620-659 score and 6 months to 1 year of history, 76% instead of under 10% with under 6 months of history), a first car loan or lease (92% instead of 95% with a 740+ score, 73% instead of 80% with a 680-719 score) and the type of deal (on a loan the estimate is 1-2 points lower than on a lease, or the same).
