Dealers quote lease interest using a 'money factor' that sounds tiny — 0.003 — but that number hides a 7.2% APR. The conversion is simple: multiply the money factor by 2,400. Without knowing this, a dealer could quote 0.007 and you'd never realize you're being charged 16.8% APR. Walking in knowing the formula turns a confusing negotiation into a transparent one.
