If you're stubborn enough about it, they can, sort of. Assuming they want your business. They may not remove the fee itself, but I've seen dealers reduce the sale price at the last moment because the customer refused to pay for some fees.

 

What you guys think of the residual given the mileage? Penfed has a 3 year residual running in the mid 50's with standard mileage.

 

for which model? I know that the V8 R has lower residuals than the V6S. FWIW, I think my residual was 52% for an R

 

This should be rates for a 2015 F-Type Coupe S, per the deal sheet anyway.

As of today, residuals on the 2015 Coupe S are quoted at 60% for 24-mo and 53% for 36-mo. PenFed is a bit more aggressive, currently sitting at 50% for 36-mo. So that is a pretty good residual for a 33-mo lease. Heck, that would even be good if they were quoting the base Coupe lease rates (which are 68% for 24-mo and 61% for 36-mo right now.)

Either way its in your best interests for them to quote a higher residual, since it saves you money and you can always walk away at the end if they're wrong.

 

Agree that the residual looks very good, even for 33 months. My mid-50's Penfed was for a 2015 R for 36 months on payment saver.

 

Keep in mind on the penfed, the residual is just a target to ensure you don't go under water. If they underestimated the true residual value, you are left with a bag of cash.
