Cap Cost (Capitalized Cost)

The negotiated price of a leased vehicle — the lease equivalent of the purchase price.

Cap cost is the figure on which your lease payment is calculated. You can — and should — negotiate cap cost just like you would a purchase price. Lower cap cost = lower monthly payment.
