I'm the builder. The motivation: lease math is technically disclosed on every
dealer document — MF is on page 3, fee breakdown is itemized — but it's not
in a format where you can act on it at signing.
A few things from these three deals that surprised me:
1. The Georgia TAVT has a feedback loop: each $1 of cash down reduces the
taxable depreciation base, which reduces the tax, which reduces NCC by ~$1.077,
not $1.00. Most calculators don't handle this.
2. The Louisiana dealer was $11 over the statutory doc fee cap. It's small
but it's illegal — and it's the kind of thing buried in a wall of line items.
3. The EV9 deal (Oregon) was actually clean — dealer at buy rate, $0 doc fee,
$0 add-ons. I wanted to include a "good deal" in the verification set because
if the tool only ever finds problems, that's its own bias.
The tool is at quotedefender.com — upload a screenshot of your lease quote and
it runs the same analysis. Happy to answer questions about the lease math or
any of the three specific deals.
