What is a money factor?
Car leasing companies are in the business to make money and this “money factor” is where they make their profit. Here’s how it figured. Let’s say you negotiate the price of the car down $1,500 from the sticker price. To that you add the acquisition fee, sales tax, license, disposition fee, and any other transactional fees. You’re basically borrowing all that money from the leasing company and paying it off in monthly installments, so you have to pay interest on that money. The leasing company isn’t lending you that money or leasing the car out of the goodness of their heart, so they add an amount on top of the interest. That amount used to be called a leasing fee. Now it’s just called the money factor.
Adjust the money factor by a multiplier
The money factor isn’t your interest rate. To arrive at the real rate, 
multiply the factor by 2,400 (or 2.4). Let’s say you’re quoted a factor of 3.1. Multiply that by 2.3 and the annual percentage rate comes out to 7.44%. The final number will always be higher than the going rate for car loan because it includes the leasing company’s profit. You should shop for the lowest factor. Every leasing company charges a different amount based on your credit rating and the market conditions.

Which one should YOU choose?
If you’re tracking down a wiring issue, Eautorepair.net is the better choice. Eautorepair.net redraws factory wiring diagrams in color and includes the component, splice and ground locations right in their diagrams. That saves a lot of time because you don’t have to refer back to the component locator or circuit locations. Alldatadiy.com, on the other hand, uses the factory diagrams. So you have to refer to the factory legends to learn the identification symbols and then refer back to circuit diagrams to find the splice and ground locations.
However, Alldatadiy.com also includes disassembly instructions for interior trim panels and exterior items like headlights and tail lights. If you need to dig into your doors, dash or console, Alldatadiy.com is the better choice because Eautorepair.net doesn’t any interior or exterior trim or body part removal.
