Hi dosa. If you were to lease a 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Wagon through its captive finance company right now for 2 years with 15,000 miles per, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00130 and 54%, respectively. Vehicles' residual values are always based upon a percentage of their full MSRPs, including destination charges. If you choose to lease this vehicle, at lease signing you will have to pay your first month's payment, a security deposit equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment, Subaru's $595 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees.

#23 of 561 Best lease on a Matrix , Mazda 3 - Hatchback, Impreza, or Versa by richardi1

Jul 17, 2006 (3:45 am)

Hi,
 
I need a car for 2 years. I am looking to lease a Matrix, Mazda 3 hatchback, or Versa.
 
I would appreciate information on a lease for that period of time and knowing what the monthly cost will be, the amount down, and what the early return penalty will be after one year.

Hi richar. I would be happy to give you an idea of how much it would cost to lease the cars that you are interested in right now. However, in order for me to do so it would be a big help if you would provide me with the MSRPs and approximate selling prices of the exact cars that you are interested in. Let me know and I'll do some calculations for you.

#26 of 561 Leased Impreza with low mileage by dmitmf

Jul 28, 2006 (6:31 pm)

Hi, Car_man,
 
My lease on '03 Impreza Wagon expires in some 6 months. The lease term is for 60K miles, but I will be returning the vehicle with no more then 45K. Does that affect the residual value of the car? And does it give me any bargaining power when I return the vehicle? I have couple small dents and scratches, that they'll probably want to charge me for.
 
Thanks.
DF

I don't think so, it's usually "up to" the number of miles.
 
You may want to buy it, though, since that value is already set and it's low mileage.

Here you go, lsp. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2006 Impreza 2.5i Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00255 and 67%, respectively. This car's 36 month numbers are .00125 and 55%. Its 39 month numbers are .00120 and 53%. Last but not least, its 48 month numbers are .00080 and 46%.

Hi dmitmf. The mileage that you have on your car at the end of your lease has no impact upon its residual value. If its lease-end purchase option price is low enough, you may want to consider buying your car though. You may even want to place a call to the bank that you are leasing it through to see if they would be willing to negotiate its purchase price with you. There's no guarantee that they will, more likely then not the won't, but it's worth a shot. Don't mention your vehicle's mileage though. The fact that it is so low makes your car a desirable one for the bank to get back. If you can get a low enough price for your car its low mileage may make it worth it to buy it. Even if you don't want to keep it, if its purchase price is well below its real-world value you can make money on it by selling it yourself or trading it in on your next car or truck. You need to be absolutely positive that you can get it for less than its current market value before you buy it though. While the bank will appreciate the fact that you are so under your mileage allowance when you turn your car in, I doubt that it will waive your excess wear and tear charges because of the low mileage.
