hello, I've been looking at the GT Special Editions (Chroma Blue) and have gotten to the point of almost pulling the trigger on a lease/buyout deal, and then when the dealer gets my zip code, all of a sudden there's a new line item on their lease calculation worksheet (see attached screenshot). It's a $692 Cap Cost Reduction tax, that's based on the current lease incentive of $7100 plus $4393 dealer discount. Basically the cap cost reduction tax is being added to the cap cost is the lease calc- like a dog chasing it's tail. Never hear of this tax before, but even if they're going to charge it, why should I be taxed on what Kia is willing to give me as an incentive and also what the dealer discounts the car for?! To me, a cap cost reduction should be based on what I myself decide to put down to reduce the cap cost. I hadn't seen any threads speaking to this, so wondered if anyone might know. I'm in TN and our state tax rate is 6%. Thanks for any help!
