Loan Scams
Definition:
Before you sign on the dotted line, get all of the loan terms in writing, including the payment schedule and interest rate. If the lender isn't familiar to you, contact your state banking department and ask how to confirm that it's licensed and operating properly.
Residual Value
Definition:
The end-of-term value of the item established at the beginning of the lease and used in calculating your base monthly payment. The residual value is deducted from the adjusted capitalized cost to determine the depreciation and any amortized amounts. It is an estimate that may be determined in part by using residual value guidebooks. The residual value may be higher or lower than the realized value at the scheduled end of the lease.
