Hi Lou. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Forester 2.5X Limited with 10,000 miles per year are .00120 and 55%, respectively. A money factor of .00120 is indeed equivalent to an interest rate of around 2.9% (2.88%).
 
It is difficult for me to tell how good the selling price that you were quoted for this is without knowing what either its MSRP or dealer invoice price are. You can look those numbers up over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of this site. Let me know what one, or better yet both of them are and I will gladly give you my opinion on the price that you were quoted.

Congratulations on getting your new Forester, thenagual. Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your lease with everyone. Real world examples like yours are always tremendously helpful for others who are in the market for similar vehicles.
 
It sounds like you had a pleasant dealer experience. If you'd like, you can tell everyone more about it over in the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of Edmunds.com.
 
Thanks again and enjoy your new ride !

Hi lasher30. The vehicle that you described probably has a spread of around $2,000 to $2,100 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $2,092 selling price that you were quoted looks very reasonable to me. It's probably right around dealer invoice, or slightly over.
 
The money factor that you were quoted is right in line with Subaru's current buy rate for this model. If you like the vehicle, I personally don't see any reason not to pull the trigger on this deal.

Hi Car_man
I'm new to leasing and was just quoted on a 09 forester XT Limited with the following information:
 
MSRP $29,278
Selling price $27,000
Monthly payments: $339.06
Term: 36 months
Miles: 15K miles/yr
out of pocket $2,500 (includes all fees and 1st payment)
Buy-out price: $16,981.24
 
It sounds like a good deal, but i can't be certain. Any suggestions?

MF and residual ? by lgtwrx

Hi Car_man -
 
My wife and I are shopping for the Forester - we're in the Midwest market (I think? - Cleveland, Ohio).
 
Would you be so kind as to update the MF and residual for the following:
-Forester X Premium with weather package, automatic transmission
-Forester 2.5XT
 
36 month lease, 10K miles per year.
 
The last figures you posted, if my reading-comprehension isn't as bad as my wife makes it out to be , was in February. We plan to finalize the lease before month's end.
 
Thank you!
 
-Allen

Car_man: Chase Lease - Buyout Negotiation?? by brookotter
Mar 29, 2009 (8:54 am)

Hi Car_man and friends...
 
I have a 2005 Forester XT Premium (top of the trim level, leather, sunroof, etc.), 63K miles in good condition (just got an a-ok on the 60K service, minor front bumper ding, but otherwise excellent).
 
I love the car, and am seriously over my 48K mi on my 4-year lease (Subaru/Chase), so have decided I'd rather do the buyout, which is listed $13,200, plus disposition fee.
 
Question is this: Can I get Chase to negotiate on any of the terms? I'm thinking this would be a cash sale to them (have some home equity, and would do it through that at 2.9%, rather than separate financing). Can I get them to at least waive the dispo fee, and is there room to negotiate the price? How does this conversation happen?
 
I've been hearing that Turbos are a drag on the market (even though I love mine, I can understand the gas mileage concerns) and am wondering if there's any motivation on Chase's end not to see the car come back to them, and where/how to get some traction.
 
SInce the lease ends on 4/16, I'm assuming this is the time to act.
 
Thanks!!!!
