Can you tell me the lease numbers for the 09 WRX? What's the residual and money factor (10 or 12k lease), 3 years. Edmunds lists a plethora of deals and the Subaru site mentions 339 a month. By my best guess, it's 0.0023 MF and 61% residual for 10k. Thanks!

I'm in Western NY and looking at a 2.5i base, 36 month lease. I'm wondering what the difference in MF and residual is between the 4-door and 5-door for both 12k and 15k per year terms. Also, is there a difference between manual and auto? Thank you!

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Feb 17, 2009 8:32 am) My reply about 2.5i base numbers was not directed to you. That's why it says "Replying to: r129" not "Replying to: blueguydotcom." I don't have any idea what the WRX numbers are. I didn't have any idea what the 2.5i base numbers were either. The only reason I RE-POSTED the 2.5i base numbers was because they were in plain sight 2 posts above.

I understand to find out EXACTLY how good a deal you are getting, you need to have the MSRP, Sales Price, Residual and Money Factor. However, when I shop leases I just divide the MSRP by the monthly payment to get a “Lease Factor.” The higher the better. If I find one 90-100 without anything down, it’s usually a good deal. I use it to compare the leases on similar cars before even checking the other details. It’s good as a quick check. If you have to put some money down, subtract that amount from the MSRP first. Lease rates are before taxes. Anyway, my local Subaru dealer had a 2.5i with an MSRP of $19,323 and a lease of $216/month for 36 months, 10K miles ($5 more for 12K; $10 more for 15K) with $999 down. That gives me a lease factor of 85. The Outback Sport I wanted had an MSRP of $21,045. Using the same Lease Factor, I get a monthly rate of $236, but the dealer quoted me $292. That’s 35% more for a car that costs only 9% more. I recognize that the residuals and money factors might change from model to model, but I didn’t expect them to be so different. When I asked, she quoted 63% and .00190 for the 2.5i and .00220 and 58% for the Outback Sport. I also see that Mazda is promoting a $179/moth lease on the base car. Again, I wouldn’t think that the Sport should be $100 more per month. Car Man, what are the factors for the Outback Sport for 36 months with 10, 12, & 15K miles and how much is the current rebate? |
