I haven't figured many leases out lately but the purchase option price appears to be that of a 36 month lease and not a 27 month lease. Your purchase option is 65% and for 27 months it used to be around 70%. Your payment would like $109.00 cheaper using the 70% number, I would check and make sure the dealer gave you correct numbers. The MF is a really good number.

After looking around the forum, it looks like your residual is correct for the months leased, but I can't make heads or tails of the inception fee, rebate as cost reduction and the rebate as drive off. Are any of those being added to your cap cost? If you deduct all those costs from cap cost then I come up with a payment of around $512.00 not including any taxes.

Thanks for this link! If I filled in the form properly, the "deal rating" produces a good result. Another data point that says "go for it".
