TEAM 3 MEMBERS: Adrian Escalera Andrew Robertson James Snell Purchase Vs Lease DecisionLexus LS460L
Our Scenario The Car: Lexus LS460L • Beautiful, fun to drive car • High Price Value • Manufacturer Free Maintenance
Assumptions • Purchase Price: $70,544 • Event Horizon: 5 years (60 months) • Purchased Car will be sold after 5 years • 12,000 Miles Driven per year • Maintenance, Gasoline, and Insurance Costs equal Decision Rule: Lowest EUMC
The Dilemma • $70,544 cost of car • 5 years (60 months) • Down Payment: $10,000 • Salvage value: $23,115.86 • 6.89% APR • Monthly Payment: $1,335 • Cost per mile over 12,000: $0.00 • $70,544 cost of car • 5 years (60 months) • Down Payment: $10,000 • Salvage Value: $0.00 • 6.89% APR • Monthly Payment:$758.39 • Cost per mile over 12,000: $0.10 Option 1: Buy Option 2: Lease
Cash Flow Diagrams Salvage Value: $23,115.86 Salvage Value: $0.00 i= 6.89% N = 60 months i= 6.89% N = 60 months A = $1,335.22 A = $758.39 Scenario 1: Buy Scenario 2: Lease Down Payment: $10,000 Down Payment: $10,000
EUMC Diagram EUMC = $1,202.01 EUMC = $996.10 Under Initial Assumptions: Leasing is Better Option Scenario 1: Buy Scenario 2: Lease
Sensitivity Analysis: Event Horizon • Longer Lease = More Interest Paid = Increased EUMC • With Purchase: EUMC decreases steadily after 5 years
Sensitivity Analysis: Down Payment • Lease: Lower Down Payment Has Lower EUMC • Purchase: Higher Payment Lowers EUMC Considerably
Sensitivity Analysis: Reinvested Savings • i = 6.89% • Leasing + Investing Always Produces Savings
Our Decision: Under initial assumptions, Leasing is the Best Option Purchasing The Better Option When: • Keeping the car for more than 8 years • Cannot Invest Lease Money • Cost Per Mile Over 12,000 is at least $0.15 Lease Is The Preferred Option When: • Event Horizon under 8 Years • Can Invest Unused Funds at (or near) APR of Lease • Cost Per Mile Over 12,000 is less than $0.15
