We are looking at leasing a Subaru Forester. Is there a standard residual value we should be looking for? or a standard money factor? Does it depend on the state we buy it in? We are looking at leasing a 09 XT. What residual should we aim for? money factor? Do we have the ability to call this? Or is every dealer different? Also, can we negotiate below the dealer base price? or is that the final cost? we're total novices!!

Car_man, What is the Residual percentage and money factor on a Subaru Forester X Limited with Nav with lease terms of 36 months  15K miles/yr? 12K miles/yr? If the residual/money factor changes without Nav, please send that as well. Thanks!

Replying to: windowsill (Aug 15, 2008 3:36 pm) Its 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 .00160 and 61%, respectively. These numbers should be consistent, regardless of what dealer you go to. You definitely should be able to negotiate a discount on the Forester that you are interested in leasing, just as if you were paying cash for or financing it. I am not all that familiar with what the market is like for this vehicle right now, but given the current state of the auto industry I would not be surprised if you were able to get one for fairly close to dealer invoice. You can look up the invoice price of the exact model that you want over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com. You also should stop by the "Subaru Forester Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |

Wanted to share the results from the lease we ended up with over the weekend in So. Cal. Subaru Forester 2.5X Premium w/ All Weather Package, aero cross bar, rear bumper cover, splash guard, ipod interface... 36 Month Lease; 10K miles per year MSRP: 25388 Base Cap: 23083 (about $700 under invoice) Money Factor: .00175 Residual: 62% I thought I could get better on the money factor w/ 740+ FICO score and a percentage better on the residual for lower miles... but the three lowest bidders wouldn't budge. $600 out of pocket, $322 a month (includes 7.75% tax). I'm not complaining! Worth noting for those in the So Cal market... of the 10 dealers in the OC, IE, and SD I sent email requests to, three were very competitive.and under invoice. Those dealerships were San Bernardino (where I bought mine... in and out in about an hour including a test drive), Irvine, and Puente Hills. The others quoted out of pocket fees of $700-100 and monthly payments of $340-366, or otherwise chose not to quote and instead insisted that I needed to come to their dealership. Something I found very effective... when emailing my request for a price, money factor, residual values I included the VIN # of the vehicle I was most likely to buy from the inventory listed on the dealers website.

Replying to: weswaz (Aug 25, 2008 2:19 pm) Did you contact Thousand Oaks or Sherman Oaks dealerships? I've been looking at their inventories, both have a fairly decent number of Foresters sitting on the lots.. thx
