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

...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

Replying to: milzo (Dec 13, 2008 5:38 am) 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. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: edgrimley (Dec 14, 2008 3:10 pm) 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. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: Car_man (Dec 30, 2008 2:43 am) Thanks for the reply, I ended up buying the forester with the options i have listed instead of lease. I sent an e-mail to 5 dealers with the exact options and color i wanted (what I listed eariler) and told them getting the best price was my hot button. I ended up getting it for about $600 under invoice. With the 4.99% financing the payment was only $120/mo more than the best lease price I could get and at the end of 3 years I will owe $12k versus the $16 buy-out on the lease. I posted the details of my purchase in the prices paid forum on here if anyone wants to see the details.
