Range Rover Sport Leasing
Nassau County lessees pay 8.625% sales tax on the total of their lease payments, up front. That's one of several details that make a Range Rover Sport lease cost more, or less, than the advertised payment suggests. This page explains how the numbers are built, what to ask, and where to find this month's offers at Land Rover Freeport.

A Range Rover Sport lease payment depends on four things: the vehicle's negotiated price (capitalized cost), its projected value at lease end (residual), the lease rate (money factor), and the term and annual mileage you choose. Current manufacturer-backed offers are published on our new vehicle specials page and change monthly. In Nassau County, New York sales tax of 8.625% applies to the total of your lease payments and is due at signing, or can be rolled into the payment. Starting MSRP for the Range Rover Sport SE is $83,700, and that figure anchors every lease calculation.
Every lease quote, from any dealer, is built from the same parts. Knowing them lets you compare offers properly.
| Component | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Capitalized cost | The price of the vehicle for lease purposes. A lower cap cost means a lower payment, just as with a purchase price. |
| Residual value | The lender's projection of what the vehicle will be worth at lease end, as a percentage of MSRP. You pay for the difference between cap cost and residual, so a higher residual means a lower payment. |
| Money factor | The lease's finance rate, written as a small decimal. Multiply it by 2,400 for a rough APR equivalent. |
| Term | Usually 24 to 39 months. Advertised offers are tied to a specific term. |
| Annual mileage | The allowance you commit to. Exceeding it means a per-mile charge at lease end. |
| Due at signing | Typically first payment, acquisition fee, registration and fees, plus any down payment you choose. |
New York handles lease tax differently from most states, and it surprises people moving here from elsewhere. Sales tax on a lease of a year or more is calculated on the total of all your lease payments and is due at lease inception, not month by month. In Nassau County the combined rate is 8.625%.
You can pay that tax up front at signing or have it capitalized into the lease, which spreads it across your monthly payments. Capitalizing it is convenient, but you then pay the lease's finance charge on the tax as well. Whichever you choose, compare offers on the same basis. A Nassau County quote that includes tax will look higher than an out-of-state advertisement that doesn't.
On a hypothetical lease with $1,000 monthly payments over 36 months, total payments are $36,000, and Nassau County sales tax at 8.625% on that total is $3,105. That amount is due at signing or capitalized into the lease. This is an arithmetic example only, not an offer. Your figures depend on the vehicle, the term and current program rates.
Advertised lease offers usually feature a specific trim and engine, most often an entry or high-volume configuration, because manufacturer support goes to the vehicles built in the largest numbers. A few general patterns hold:
SE and Dynamic SE
Plug-in hybrids
Autobiography and V8
SV
For the full trim and engine breakdown behind these patterns, see our Range Rover Sport complete guide.
Mileage allowance is where Long Island drivers most often misjudge a lease. A daily round trip from Freeport to Midtown, or regular summer weekends in the Hamptons, can add up faster than people expect. Before you pick an allowance, check your current vehicle's odometer against its age and build in a margin. Buying extra miles at signing is almost always cheaper than paying the excess-mileage charge at lease end.
Is the advertised offer tied to a specific VIN, trim or package? What money factor and residual does the quote use? Is New York sales tax included in the monthly figure or due at signing? What exactly is in the amount due at signing? What are the per-mile and disposition charges at lease end? A good finance manager will answer all of these plainly. Our Freeport finance team does this every day.

Yes. Plug-in hybrid versions can be leased like any other trim. Ask whether any current program support applies to them.
You pay a per-mile charge on the excess at lease end. The rate is set in your lease contract, so buying additional miles at signing is usually the cheaper route if you expect to exceed the allowance.
