Hi on_the_cheap. Here's the info that you're looking for. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Forester XT with 15,000 miles per year are .00110 and 57%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Forester XT Limited without navigation are .00110 and 55%.

Hi cawins. The best way to evaluate this deal is to look at this vehicle's selling price in relation to its MSRP or dealer invoice price. Is the $25,379 price that you mentioned this vehicle's MSRP or selling price? Let us know what both are and I'm sure that either myself or another knowledgeable community member will give you their opinion on it.

Question(s) on leasing by yomama
May 12, 2009 (3:57 am)

Hi! Wife and I were wondering if a lease makes sense for us. We can not afford payment to purchase so we thought we would lease and purchase after lease is up.
Does this make sense or am I throwing money away?

09 forester premium lease prices by yomama

Anyone have a round about idea of what would be a good deal for a 09 forester x premium lease? Looking for 3year, 10000mile/year.
Also, should I be able to get a deal set-up over e-mail or do I need to visit dealer few times to "play" the games?
Thanks for all of the advice!

You're throwing money away to purchase at lease end. (Purchasing period). As long as you negotiate a great lease and go with a manufacturer that has high residual value such as Subaru, you can't go wrong leasing. I just leased an 09 Tribeca for $363 including sales tax with nothing down. If I would have bought it I'd be looking at a payment of $200 more per month even at 4.9%. Take that $200 and multiply it by 36 payments = $7200. Show me ANY way that it makes more sense to BUY when you can save $7200 in the first 3 years of a lease.
 
Purchasing at lease end doesn't make any sense to me either though. You still have to pay the disposition fee and sales tax on the end value. It will be way more than buying one at market value. Lease, then lease and new one, repeat.

I was around $330 including tax. I didn't like that deal at all though. $330 and no leather? The interior seemed way too generic and plastic to me also. I went with the Tribeca for $33 more a month. Leather, better designed interior, bigger, better. If you can get a Forester Limited for $330 go for it. Otherwise I wouldn't advise. You'll be sick of that plastic interior and ratcheting the seats manually in about 2 weeks.

limited lease payment by gogomez

I'm thinking about a Forester 2.5 X Limited, maybe with nav. What is a reasonable Lease payment to expect on these? Would a $330 be in the right ballpark?

fotboat,
 
That looks like a great deal. Where in the US are you? Dealer name?
I've been quoted $336, and know that that is too expensive.
My sister just got the 2.5XT Ltd. 36 mo., $371/month with $1,600 up front for all fees and taxes (CT state). She has 10k miles I believe.
