ie.. if you're financing $70K and you negotiate 5K off by a cost cap reduction, they'll finance you that 70K and automaticlly apply 5K worth of downpayments.

instead of say, financing you for 65K. It's a very round-about way of charging you a slightly higher interest rate because you're financing more money essentially


-----I guess I can't do that bc I already agreeed on an Msrp from which my upcoming lease payments will be calculated------

the full retail cost to repair any items that exceed their damage thresholds essentially, as well as typically a small admin fee.
-----so basically whatever the dealer would normally charge to fix my dent (getting a new fender and painting it and installing it) they will charge me for? I might as well go to maaco, finding their cheapest option and doing that since I'm giving the car away. No?------
