Re: 09 Forester XT - Residual/Money Factor? [Car_man] by windowsill

Car Man - thank you very much!
 
I have a question for you - we got our lease a few days before you responded. Our lease is 36 month, 12,000 miles for a Forester XT. the dealer gave us the 62% residual, however, our money factor is .002XX (i don't have my numbers in front of me, but it was something like .00246 or something like that)
 
We SPECIFICALLY asked about the money factor and the salesman and the finance guy said that they don't control the money factor. That it could only go up, it could not go down.
 
Was this a lie? Do I have any recourse? And if I went back to the dealership and called them on this, what kind of support could I use? (not sure, "the car man from the internet said so" , would work
 
thanks for all your help! we do love our car! but it really makes me upset if they sat there and lied to my face!

Those were out of my shopping radius. Check Irvine's inventory... it's huge. Might be worth the drive. I'd assume you should expect similar pricing to what they quoted me which was very close to what I paid in San Berdoo. I used the contact button right from their webpage.

Seems like a good deal. Does anyone know the specifics of the college grad discount? Can it be applied to the lease?

Congratulations on getting your new Forester, weswaz. Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your lease with anyone. If you'd like, you can stop by the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of Edmunds.com to share your thoughts on your recent dealer experience as well. Enjoy your new ride !

You're very welcome, windowsill. The finance guy who told you that dealers don't control money factors wasn't completely telling the truth. It is true that dealers cannot lower banks' published buy rate lease money factors, dealers are often allowed to mark them up to add additional, hidden profit to deals. I am not sure if Subaru Finance allows dealers to mark its money factors up, but I would not be surprised if it did. Unfortunately, once you have signed your lease and physically taken delivery of your vehicle there really isn't anything that you can do to change your deal.

Hi sub4543. Subaru's current lease program is scheduled to run through September 30th. It is difficult to say what its October program will be like for the Forester. It would be difficult normally, but further complicating matters are the fact that it is the beginning of a new quarter and the fact that so many manufacturers have made dramatic changes to their lease programs lately. Sorry that I could not be of more help. Feel free to check back with me later this week and I will fill you in on the details of the new program.
