Replying to: pilot1226 (Aug 14, 2008 7:29 am) It doesn't work for anyone who wants to buy the car when it goes off lease. Then the purchase price is way to high because of the high residual. I'm planning on doing the lease because it's just a great deal. But obviously it will force me back into the car market in two years. The dealer also offered me an even better deal that I may consider. Prepay the lease in total up front and the cost of the lease is even lower. Probably a savings of $500-600 over making the payments. Since I have an equity of about $4000 in my trade that would mean I have a paid up 2 year lease with about $2900 out of pocket plus my trade. Not bad especially for this well equipped car. One issue that has to be checked out is what would happen in a prepaid lease if the car got totaled or stolen prior to lease end. Do you get back the pro rata portion of your money attributed to the unused lease period or are you up the creek for those funds. The salesperson is checking into that. I think I'd want something specific in the lease contract or something in your insurance policy that deals with that issue.

Replying to: chambers134 (Aug 19, 2008 4:36 pm) However, the SE model has such a great lease deal you might want to consider it. I was quoted 320/mo.(inc tax) on a two year,15000 mi lease with nothing out of pocket. The price would have been $50/mo. lower but I added aftermarket leather, XM radio and 15000 mi up from 12000 on the standard lease. The limited has some extras but if you can save 50-100/mo. and a 1500 downpayment I would think that would be a great alternative.

Replying to: altimate (Aug 19, 2008 6:28 pm) This is a two-year, 12K miles per year, sign-and-drive lease. I only had to pay the first month's payment, title/license/registration/etc., and the $99 service fee. (It came out to about $520 up front.) My Legacy stickered at $22,943, and aside from the $300 Special Edition package (power moonroof, power driver's seat, and Harman Kardon audio system), the only other options that my car has are the automatic transmission ($1000) and auto-dimming rearview mirror ($183). BTW my car is Seacrest Green with the cream-colored interior.
