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.

Hunter Lease estimate from our deal experience, not a precise calculation. 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 the estimate: we show the better of the two, on your own credit or with the co-signer.
What moves the estimate in these rows: a co-signer (on a lease, 75% instead of 70% with credit tier 3 · 680-719 and 1 to 3 years of history, 75% instead of 38% with credit tier 5 · 620-659 and 6 months to 1 year of history, 75% instead of under 10% with under 6 months of history), a first car loan or lease (91% instead of 94% with credit tier 1 · 740+, 70% instead of 79% with credit tier 3 · 680-719) and the type of deal (on a loan the estimate is 1-2 points lower than on a lease, or the same).
