Greetings carnutz3. If you actually can make $3,000 by getting out of your current lease, this is an unusual situation, you are in a good position and absolutely should have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for your vehicle rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment on your new lease. I always advise consumers not to make any sort of capitalized cost reduction when leasing. Those who do risk losing them if their leased vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.
I would be happy to give you my opinion on the lease that you were quoted. However, in order for me to do so I need to know its full MSRP and selling price. You already mentioned one of these numbers, I believe that it is the selling price. I just need the other. Having both numbers will show me how much of a discount you are being given and it will enable me to use Subaru's current lease program to estimate your vehicle's monthly payment. Let me know and I'll tell you what I think.

Welcome jwill008. I would be happy to give you an idea of how much the WRX that you are interested in will cost to lease. In order for me to do so, I need you to provide me with its full MSRP (including the destination charge) and its approximate selling price. Make sure to tell me how long you want to lease it for and what mileage allowance you need as well.

Thanks for the additional information, jwill008. OK, so you are interested in leasing a base 2007 Subaru WRX Sedan with an MSRP of $25,620 and a selling price of $21,999 through Subaru Finance right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $293. The payment for an otherwise identical 48 month lease would be $288. If you were to roll half of the negative equity that you have in your current car, $3,000, into this car's capitalized cost, its 36 month payment would increase to around $384. Its 48 month payment would increase to around $358.
Are you sure that you really want to lease your new vehicle with only 12,000 miles per year. I believe that you mentioned in a previous post that the reason you are so upside down on your current vehicle is because of the high mileage that you put on it. Rather than having a repeat of this problem with your next vehicle, you would be better off leasing with 15,000 miles per year. Increasing to 15k won't make that much of a difference in your car's payment.

You're welcome, carnutz3. A base 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi has a spread of $1,877 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price. You were quoted a discount of $2,100 on this car. This is probably right around dealer invoice once the optional equipment is taken into account, which is a good deal. Using the prices that you mentioned, I estimate that this car's zero down, pre-tax, 42 month, 12,000 mile per year monthly payment would be around $428. As you can see, even if it includes tax the payment that you were quoted for this car is a little on the high side. Make sure that the dealer you are working with uses Subaru Finance's current 24 month, 12,000 mile per year lease money factor and residual value of .00255 and 58% to calculate your car's monthly payment.

Hi sidz. At first glance, the monthly payment that you mentioned looks attractive. However, I will be able to give you a much more detailed analysis of this deal if you provide me with this car's MSRP, selling price, and mileage allowance and tell me exactly what version of the Impreza you want. Let me know and I will tell you what I think.

Hi--
I need some good advice. I'm a long-time Impreza driver and about to sign my 1st lease for an '07.
Specs:
$18,620 MSRP (VT dealer)
Trade-in on '05 Impreza RS (30K miles): $11,900.
'05 Payoff quote: $9400
Lease: $288 down, $215 a month, 36 month, 45,000 miles.
Includes a sunroof (to be installed by dealer).
Residual: $10K
Can I negotiate this down any further?
If you can get back to me by tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
