How leasing works in St. Louis
Missouri taxes monthly lease payments at the state plus local rate. That tax structure is the biggest variable in St. Louis lease pricing — every other element of a lease (residual value, money factor, manufacturer incentives) is set nationally by the captive lender.

- Request the dealer's lease worksheet and verify residual % and money factor against published programs
- End-of-quarter (March, June, September, December) typically yields the deepest dealer discounts
