That seems like a really good price, makes me wonder how necessary leather is. Thanks for the post.

Hi there,
 
We are at the end of a long road of research and leaning toward the 09 Forester over the Rav4. Haven't test drove the Mitsubishi Outlander and the CRV appears to be too underpowered. Anyway, that's a topic for another forum.
 
Seem to have gotten a good lease offer today, but they didn't have a color we liked and tried to get us to walk out with a red one we didn't want. Here are the deets:
 
XT Limited w/ Nav
 
- $28,995 estimated total cost
- 39 months
- 12,000 miles
- residual value and MF - unknown - we didn't get that far
- $1,000 prepayment (not sure of breakdown of that cost)
- total payments with tax $379
 
negotiated them from $2650 inital payment down to 1,000, and from 10k miles to 12k.
 
Edmunds calculator pegs this at $447 - looks like we had a good offer?
 
Thanks,
Eric

Forester XT Limited by edgrimley

...update to my previous post with more data.
 
XT Limited w/ Leather and no Nav. Includes autodim mirror, cargo cover.
 
Pricing at/near invoice - 27,700
MF - .00175
Residual around 61% - 17k
 
36 months
Either -
 
No cash down, $716 incl. DMV and first month
$372 + tax = 403
 
2,000 down (aprox.1200 cash + DMV and first month)
$364 incl. tax
 
includes gap insurance
 
Both of these look like good deals to me for the XT Limited. The starting price is below Edmunds TMV, good residual.
 
Does the gap insurance cover the money down, if something happens to the car?
 
Make sense to get a Lojack (we are in a high theft area) if you have gap insurance and a lease?
 
Thanks,
Eric

Hi f8u1e. Subaru does offer two year leases, but it is not currently providing support on them. As a result, you will be much better off going with a three year lease. If you were to lease a 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5X Premium for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00175 and 60%, respectively.

Hi milzo. Subaru is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of the 2009 Forester. As a result, dealer invoice is a very attractive selling price on a leased Forester right now. I highly doubt that you will be able to get one for $1,000 under invoice.
 
I would be happy to work up a lease payment on this vehicle for you to double check the dealer's calculations, however I cannot do so without knowing its full MSRP. Let me know what this number is and I'll run a payment for you.

Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your lease, Mplsman. Make sure to stop back and let us know how you like your new Forester. I'm thinking about getting one for my next ride myself. It is a great value. Where else can one get a useful, AWD vehicle for less than $300 per month?
 
If you'd like after you take delivery you can stop by the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of Edmunds.com to share your thoughts on the experience with others.
 
Enjoy your new ride !

Hi Eric. Do you know this vehicle's MSRP or dealer invoice price? I ask because comparing the selling price that you were quoted to either of those numbers is the best way to see if there is any room left to negotiate on this deal. You can look these prices for this exact model as you want it equipped over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com. Let us know what they are and I'm sure that either myself or another helpful community member will gladly give you their opinion.

Hey Eric. I should have scrolled down before replying to your previous post. Dealer invoice is about as good as it is going to get on a leased 2009 Forester right now. The money factor that you were quoted looks great, too. If you like the vehicle, I personally don't see any reason not to pull the trigger on this deal.
 
You definitely should not make a down payment on your lease. Gap insurance only covers the difference between what your insurance company is willing to pay for your vehicle if it is totaled and what you owe the bank that you are leasing it through. Consumers who make large cap cost reductions when leasing risk losing them if their vehicle is totaled.
 
It definitely does not make sense to get LoJack on a leased vehicle, unless your insurance company provides you enough of a discount on your premium to pay for it. I personally would rather not get my car back if it is stolen. If your stolen vehicle is recovered, it likely will be pretty messed up. I would rather let the insurance company chalk my ride up as a loss and get something new than have to deal with repairing my old car.
