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.
