Hey Travis. Here' you go. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Forester 2.5X LL Bean without navigation with 15,000 miles per year are .00175 and 58%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00175 and 56%. If you were to lease this vehicle with only 12,000 miles per year, its residual values would be 1% higher. I am sure that either myself or some other helpful community member would be happy to estimate what this vehicle's lease payment is for you if you provide us with its full MSRP and selling price. You also can use the formula that is outlined in the following article to do the calculations yourself: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

08 Forester XT Lease? 09? by mojo6666

A local dealer has a left over 08 Forester XT that lists at $29171 and is offering me a "deal". Is a 24 month lease, 15000mi/yr, for $420 a month with only the first months lease payment down a good deal? What is the residual and buy factor for a 2009 Premium that lists for around $25000?

The local dealership told me that the buy rate for a 09 Forester, 24mo 15000/yr lease was .0027 not the .0023,The 71% residual was the same. Is this correct? I live near Buffalo NY , do these rates change in different areas of the country? What would the buy rate and residual be on a 09 XT Forester , same term? Do you have a chart or that you could post with different terms , mileage etc.?

When I leased my 09 Limited 3 weeks ago, the money factor was .0016 and the residual was 57% for 12k miles per year. For 15k, I would guess that the residual would be 1% lower. The dealer charged me about $300 over invoice for a car that was very hard to get. I waited about 11 weeks and mine was the one of the first Limiteds he was able to deliver.
 
From what has been written in the papers, leasing is going to be much more expensive in the future due to declining residuals. The good thing is that Chase (who is Subaru's leasing company) is going to continue to lease Subarus. They are discontinuing leasing for all Chrysler products as of Friday, the same day that Chrysler is getting out of the leasing business.

I think Chrysler got hit with losses because they gambled on artificially high residuals.
 
Subarus generally have better resale so hopefully we don't see the same problem, though I agree that it's likely we'll see fewer lease offers gambling on such high residuals in the future.
