Lease Consultant Copyright 1995 Steven Hodorov All Rights Reserved Leasing a vehicle can be an attractive alternative to financing for many reasons. Yet anyone who has ever leased a vehicle knows that it is an ambiguous process full of illegible terms and threatening restrictions. Lease Consultant was created in order to help the consumer take the mystery out of leasing. It can help verify that the dealer isn't "taking you to the cleaners". Lease Consultant can help you check the dealer's lease offer in two ways: 1) It will calculate the monthly lease payment from the terms agreed upon, so you don't have to rely on the dealer's "honesty". or 2) It will calculate the car's sale price from the monthly lease payment. The car's sale price is a figure most dealers try to hide from the consumer in order to maximize their own profit. Armed with this feature you are able to check the dealers profit margin in order to avoid overpaying for the car. A leased car's sale price should not exceed a purchased car's sale price. The online help contains definitions of ambiguous terms, such as Capital Cost Reduction and Money Factor, favored by professional salespeople.
