Free dealer-prep tool
Get the written numbers before you compare.
What it covers
One lease page. One purchase page.
This is a quote-collection checklist, not another calculator. It gives you a clean place to capture the dealership’s written figures before you work through the deal.
Lease page
Record the selling price, residual, money factor, payment, cash due, incentives, trade, and key contract fees.
Purchase page
Record the selling price, rebates, taxes, fees, out-the-door price, trade, APR, amount financed, and disclosures.
1
Download or print
Open the Excel version on your phone or laptop, or print the two-page PDF. Page one is for a lease quote, page two for a purchase.
2
Complete it at the dealership
Ask for an itemized written quote on the exact vehicle and fill in every line before you leave. A monthly payment by itself is not a quote.
3
Run the numbers at home
Away from the showroom, enter the figures into the matching free calculator and see what the deal actually costs before you decide.
Next step
Use the quote, not a guess.
Once you have the written figures, choose the calculator that matches the decision in front of you.
Free, personalized guidance
Make the next car decision with the full picture.
Bring the offer, the question, or the decision you're weighing. We'll help you understand the tradeoffs; the final choice remains yours.
