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.
