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.

Car Man,
 
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.

CAR MAN,
 
You quoted the last guy on a 2009 Forester 2.5X Premium, 36 month, 15,000 miles per year as 0.00175 and 60%.
 
What is the residual on a 10,000 mile per year lease of this same vehicle? Also, what is the Subaru acquisition fee?
 
Thanks.

Car_Man,
 
I would also like the current lease numbers for the 2009 Forester 2.5X on a 36 month, 10,000 miles per year lease. Also, are the numbers different per trim level on the Forester. Base, Premium, Limited? Thanks.

Hi chuck68516. For 36 month leases, Subaru's 10,000 mile per year residual value is 2% higher than its 15k residual.
 
Subaru actually runs its lease program through Chase right now. I believe that Chase's current base acquisition fee is $595.

Here's the information that you're looking for, djhalptert. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Forester 2.5X with 10,000 miles per year are .00150 and 60%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Forester 2.5X Limited are .00160 and 60%. The numbers for an '09 2.5X Premium are .00160 and 61%.
