Can that be applied to MSDs so that I can get that money back at the end of the lease? Or does it only go into cap cost reduction?
Traditionally a dealer will apply any trade in value as a cap cost reduction (mostly because that's what people assume you do on a lease to lower the monthly payments). You could ask for the equity to be applied in MSD's, but the dealer may balk and want to lower the trade in value.
