A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

Can a dealer mark up the money factor?

Yes. Manufacturers set a base (or "buy") money factor through their finance arms. Dealers are allowed to mark this up by a certain amount and keep the difference as additional profit. The markup is not disclosed unless you ask. Two customers leasing the same car at the same dealer can have different money factors. Always ask the dealer what money factor they are using and compare it to the manufacturer's base rate.

We just bought our 3rd car from Dave and his group. They make it so easy not having to go to a dealer, I wouldn't do it any other way. You tell them exactly what you want, they find it, get you a great deal and deliver it.....need I say more!!! Dave is a true professional.

Sean and the team are fantastic, and make a complicated process really easy. Not to mention they got us a lease deal on our new jeep at a better price than what we’ve been paying the last 4 years… can’t thank them enough!
