See if there is a penalty for waiving security deposit. Honda charges you a slightly higher money factor if you waive. Ford/GM do not. If you are going to take reasonable care of the vehicle, I would waive it.

I still have to get the cap, net cap, and money factor costs.
 
I am more interested in the XT model. The price give to me for that model was based on an MSRP of 28,115
 
With leather the monthly costs for the 09 xt was $394 per month with 1285 out of pocket which includes Bank fee, 1st payment, and plates. No sec deposit.
 
Nias thanks for the formula. I am a newbie to leasing. I have always owned cars.

$394 seems high to me. If it was 62% residual and MF was 0.00175 and you got a cap cost of $25,000 your payment would be sub $300 including sales tax.

I sure do, arvan. you never mentioned how long you want to lease this vehicle for or what mileage allowance you need, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Forester 2.5 X Premium with 15,000 miles per year are .00160 and 58%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Forester X Limited are .00175 and 58%.

Here you go, btmatx. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 1009 Forester X with 15,000 miles per year are .00160 and 57%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Legacy 2.5i Sedan are .00230 and 58%. If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, these cars' residual values would be 1% higher.

Hey nias. Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. They will answer any questions that you have about how leasing works.
 
Check them out and let us know if you have any specific questions that they spark or don't understand something.

CAR MAN,
 
Are the lease numbers on the 2009 Forester 2.5X Limited, 10,000 miles per year different than the 2.5X Premium? I think the low mileage gives +1% residual but is the money factor different on the Limited vs Premium?

The MF for the Limited would be 0.00175 vs the Premium's 0.00160.

lease vs. purchase by r_berg_us

We are considering a lease option vs. purchase. We are new to the option. We have been doing some research and the question is on a 20,000 mile per year for three years lease vs a purchase on a outback or forester. Both vehicles are around $24,000. Both vehicles are 2009. Location is the St.Paul/Minneapolis MN area.
It appears as though the residual on a outback is 55% and the forester is 61%.
We have a VIP option on a purchase through ASHA. We are meeting the dealer this saturday the 8th and would like to have more information in our tool belt so that we can make the best decision. With the technology changes we really think the lease is a good option, but we really do not know how it will be presented.
Help!
We have also looked at the Saturn Aura approx same price but not AWD.
