Yes Agreed! He just shuffled the lease rebate into a downpayment. Presumably to make a more attractive payment (which he doesnt understand, is not important to us).
I'm just wondering if I get the down payment subtracted from the final payoff amount at the time that I buy out the lease. If so, it doesnt matter where he puts the rebate. But if it is NOT and I lose part or all of that rebate money, then I have to insist that he take the rebate off the adjusted cap cost. Is that clear as mud? I hope I have made some sense at least lol
you should be ok so long as they add the rebate/down payment to the cap cost reduction section. I know you mentioned your adjusted cap cost went up though which makes me think something is off. Do you have a worksheet you can share?
