#492 of 561 Leasing Impreza 2.0i Automatic by carcurious18

May 22, 2012 (4:15 pm)

Hi Car Man,
 
I'm looking to lease a Subaru Impreza 2.0i Automatic sedan for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year and was wondering if you could give me the MF and residual value for May. I got quoted for the following lease and wanted to know if its a good deal:
 
2012 Subaru Impreza standard sedan -
 
MSRP: $19,214
Net Sale Price: $18,301
Sales Tax: $720.71
Acquisition fee: $595
Doc fee: $250
Registration fee:$18.50
License fee: $44.75
Title fee: $15
Cap Reduction Tax: $19.38
Gross Cap Cost: $20,243
 
I was quoted for MF of 0.00085 and a residual value of 58% or $11,162.10, this comes out to $278.95 for my monthly payments. I'm just concerned since you quoted the April MF as .00035 for the same car with 15k miles per year. In this case, would I be able to negotiate the MF?
 
Thanks!

Hi. With these numbers, do you think a person is better off leasing or
buying an Impreza? Thanks.

Hi carcurious18. The .00035 money factor is still valid for a 36-month lease of a Impreza 4-dr 2.0i. If your credit is in good shape then the dealer is marking your car's factor up to add additional profit to your deal. I personally wouldn't let them do this. I'd lease at a good selling price with the buy rate or I'd get something else.

Hi ezm1. Given how attractive the Impreza's lease program is right now I personally would lease. If you really don't want to lease you can always finance this car at 2.9% for 60 months, but again I think that the lease is the better deal right now if it works for your planned use.

#496 of 561 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback 2.0i Sport Premium Lease by browntye

Jun 12, 2012 (8:44 am)

Hello Car Man,
 
I wanted to see if you could help me understand what I can expect for a lease payment for the following:
 
Model: 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback 2.0i Sport Premium w/ Popular Package #1
MSRP: $22847
Invoice: $21570
Purchase Price: $21320
 
Was told that the only fees the dealer has to include are doc fee ($250) and title fee ($35)
Our county sales tax is 7.75% (which sounds like that would equate to $1674)
Delivery would be made in August but purchase would be made this week (mid June)
 
I am looking for a 36 month or 42 month lease with mileage of 15K/yr. You can assume the top tier credit for the purchase.
 
Your help is greatly appreciated!
 
Best,
Tye

Hi Tye. Let's crunch some numbers and see what we come up with.
 
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2012 Impreza Hatchback 2.0i Sport Premium that has an MSRP of $22,847 and a selling price of $21,320 through Chase right now for 36-months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $265.
 
The payment for an otherwise identical 42-month lease would be around $253.

#499 of 561 June 2012 Impreza WRX Lease by chrispy73

Jun 13, 2012 (11:43 am)

Hi Car Man,
Can you please give me the MF and residual rates for a 2012 WRX Premium lease for 36 months/10k miles (I would prefer 12k). Dealer is quoting a MF rate of .00225 and .57 residual. Dealer is using MSRP of $29423, $27500 price with my trade in for a $336.25 monthly payment with taxes. Any help would be appreciated.

Car Man,
 
Can you share the money factor and residual for the 2012 Impreza Sport Premium, 36 months and 15K miles per year that you used in your calculation?
 
And is it possible that the dealer would be using something different to calculate lease payments? I was quoted at $283 / month, which was slightly higher than I expected but this was for 42 months.

Looking to see if anyone has the June lease numbers for the impreza sport limited with 12k/year for 36 months. Also what fees are usually involved in these leases?
