450 = 60% and .00221
550 = 53% and I forget the MF as I don't give a damn due to the residual.

Well.... "new" 450 is perfectly fine - around town "driver experience" is perfectly fine, and other than running about 200 rpm higher than the V8 - around town you will pick up 20%+ better fuel economy - the 7G+ tranny very evenly compensates out the V6-V8 difference/blab-blab-debate....and highway at 75 mph you pickup you don't notice the difference either unless you are towing a ton-and-a-half..
"Special rates" whether lease or purchase - by the manufacturer is determined by supply/demand/inventory for the model - and purchase finance by competitive lender - in leasing no 3rd party legtimate leases by-and-large anymore...
To continue accuracy - lease term also determines both MF and residual - but the "other" major factor is how your state of registration determines sales tax on leased vehicles - since let's say on a 36 month lease - $3000 on the front end - dealer contribution -or more cash in - are both pluses to bring lease payment down - but full purchase price sales tax for those/most states adds cost and moves the other way as compared to tax/payment-only states...

And you MOST definitely notice the pickup at 75 when you floor it. That's where you notice it the most.
