Americas US Leasing Rates - Anyone Seen Details?

[YellowLab]

Has anyone talked to a dealer about leasing rates and have any of the information. I'm personally not looking to lease - but very interested to see what Ineos/leasing company views the depreciation value of the car over the term of the deal. Helps understand the value of the vehicle over time.

The Grenadier will lease very poorly of interest rate/money factor reasons alone. Depreciation estimates from a bank won't happen until 3yr/50k vehicles sold and ALG can get a sense of what is happening in the market.

This is based on my experiences negotiating whitelabel captive financing (ie. Santander bank will put on a hat that says "Ineos Finance NA") as a new OEM.

I believe the established partner is Santander, but your point is accurate nonetheless.

Santander as finance partner is correct per my conversation with Knauz (Chicagoland dealer)

The important thing to understand is if Ineos will give residual guarantees (I bet they will not). Without those, Santander will only write you a lease that sticks you with residual risk. Santander writes a lot of these for business owners who want to buy but need to lease for tax reasons. Santander will wait until ALG publishes residuals in 3-4 years otherwise.
