You Know More Than the Average Buyer.
The Dealer Still Has the Advantage.

Even experienced shoppers get hit. Here's exactly where the money goes.

The MF Spread

You pulled the buy rate on Edmunds. You know they marked it up. But can you prove it in real numbers, fast enough to matter at the table?

Buy Rate: 0.00150 · Dealer Quote: 0.00185 · +$52/mo

Cap Cost Additions

$895 acquisition fee. $1,295 protection package. Rolled into cap cost, they disappear in the payment math until you run an audit.

Hidden in cap cost · Never disclosed · Pure margin

Efficiency vs. Payment

A high residual doesn't always mean a good deal. Lease efficiency, meaning payment as a percentage of MSRP, separates unicorn deals from average ones.

0.85% payment/MSRP = Unicorn · 1.2% = Overpaying

Scan. Score. Share.

Three steps. Works at the dealership, at home, or with a client on the line.

Forget The 1% Rule.
Meet The Unicorn Score.

A score of 90+ means the deal clears every threshold: efficient payment, strong residual, fair MF, available incentives. Only 1 in 12 deals qualifies. This is how you find it without guessing.
