We must be really stupid
Just replaced my NYC commuter car today. Leased a Toyota Camry. The money factor was .001. I was never able to obtain better than .0020 from PFS. It seems to me that they not only markup options insanely, but also leasing financing.

Money factor is an alt way to present APR:
MF * 2400 = APR, so above 0.001 * 2400 = 2.40%
PFS 0.002 * 2400 = 4.80%

I still don't understand why a lease (long term rental) would have any sort of interest rate.

As for the OP's comment, Toyota sells zillions of Camrys, so they're always offering deals to move them. One of my friends just leased a Hyundai Sonata for about a tenth of what I pay for my C4S monthly. Porsches are expensive. That's just the way it is.

You are correct, NYC is the worst place on earth to live, the theater, museums, nightlife and culture are just terrible. I won't even speak about how our city came together on September 11, 2001. Colorado would not even know it was attacked because the population would be too stoned to know the difference. Stay on your side of the Rockies and I will be very happy. Also, I respectfully ask you to respond to the post with a contribution to the subject matter, not just your juvenile comments. You attack NYC and you attack me. If you own or lease a P-car you should be smarter than that, unless you are a trust fund baby.

You are correct, they can because we allow it - Hence, we must be stupid. I don't mind paying $600+ for a sport mirror that does not do what a standard mirror does, but that is an artistic or aesthetic choice. The use of money, is not in the same category IMHO.

We can run around in circles all day about this subject. Porsche charges what demand will bear. Judging by their record breaking sales over the last couple years, they have it figured out. Just like any free enterprise company would.
We can complain all we want. I say focus on what you can control and choices you make that are right for yourself.
Me personally, I have a better chance working harder and making more money than convincing Porsche they're charging too much.
