#288 of 382 Re: 09 Legacy 2.5 SE [chuck68516] by Car_man HOST Jan 25, 2009 (8:14 am)
Replying to: chuck68516 (Jan 13, 2009 9:02 pm) Hi chuck68516. Good point about the residual values for two year leases. The money factors are much worse, but the residual values are solid. Subaru's current residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2009 Legacy Special Edition Sedan is 70% with 15,000 miles per year and 1% higher with 12k.   The difference between the 2 and 3 year money factors for the Special Edition model is less than it is for other Legacy models though. On the SE, you're talking about .00250 versus .00170 and on say a base Legacy the difference is .00280 versus .00165.   Looking at the program for the Legacy SE, I get a rough estimate in my head of $30 to $40 more per month for a 36 month leases versus a 24 month lease.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: stevern (Jan 24, 2009 2:22 pm) Here you go, Steve. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Legacy 2.5i Limited Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are .00140 and 56%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this car, don't forget about the $500 cash incentive.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
#290 of 382 duration of great 2.5i se lease by skiphreak Feb 13, 2009 (5:44 pm)
does anyone how long this has been going on and when it will end? Just wondering if they will raise or end incentives. And does anyone know if the residuals and money factor change resulting in great lease ending? So i know to run out and get one before this happens. thanks Replies to this message: Car_man (Mar 19, 2009 2:17 am)
#291 of 382 Suburu disclosure questions by lucy17 Feb 23, 2009 (4:54 pm)
Hi Car Man, Can you tell me the money factor, residual and downpayment that should be available for a 2009 Legacy Special Edition automatic with a MSRP of $22,700?   I've had trouble finding details about Subaru lease offers online (compared to Honda and Nissan and other manufacturers). Subaru finally posted information but it specifies "For OREGON residents only". Does that mean the deal is only offered in Oregon? Or is Subaru complying with Oregon law? I assumed it was the latter and expected a similar offer. However, the dealer quoted me $281 a month instead of $215 -- even though the MSRP of the car in question was just $800 more than the MSRP in the Subaru Web example. I was told this was because the Web deal only applied to manual cars. Is that typical to have a lease offer that is limited to a manual car only -- even with the prices are just hundreds apart?   Thank you.

Replying to: lucy17 (Feb 23, 2009 4:54 pm) The residual and money factor are numbers you should ask for. Not the down payment. ??? You need to ask your dealer to let you know what your sale price is on the car (cap cost) then ask what the fees are. There will be a residual and probably a document fee. When added to the sale price (cap cost) it makes the NET CAP COST. If you have this and the MSRP and the residual and money factor you can calculate the lease payment. Don't put money down on a lease. If the car is totalled or stolen you would be out the down payment. Sign and drive is the only way to go. Also, don't read too much into the advertised leases. They are just bait tactics. Concentrate ONLY on the sale price, fees and residual, money factor. That is what will get your payment to $215 with ZERO down.
#293 of 382 2009 2.5i Limited by jamabbo Mar 12, 2009 (3:45 pm)
Hello all. First of all god bless the internet.   I have never leased a car before and I know Subaru is offering the SE for 225 a month. I am more interested in the limited for the fact it has leather and heated seats for the cold weather here in South Bend Indiana.   My question is what should I be looking for in a good lease, and how I should go about making a deal with the dealership. I really hate to go into this not knowing anything about leases so any help would be great.   Also could you explain what the residual and money factor numbers are and how I should go about calculating that.   Thanks again for your time and I look forward to some great new information.   James Replies to this message: Car_man (Mar 19, 2009 2:27 am)

Replying to: skiphreak (Feb 13, 2009 5:44 pm) Hi skiphreak. Subaru's incentives are usually only scheduled to run for a month at a time. That does not necessarily mean that the following month's program will be different, just that it has the option to change it if it wants to. Subaru's February and March lease programs for the '09 Legacy are very similar. It is difficult to say what its April program will be like at this point.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: lucy17 (Feb 23, 2009 4:54 pm) Hi lucy17. Here's the information that you're looking for. Subaru's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Legacy 2.5 Sedan Special Edition with 15,000 miles per year are .00180 and 56%, respectively.   You never mentioned how long you want to lease for or what mileage allowance you need, so I had to make some assumptions. Let me know if you want something different.   I'm not sure what the whole "Oregon residents only" disclaimer that you saw is all about. The above lease program is national. It should be the same regardless of what state you are in.   Manufacturers often advertise lease payments on stripped vehicles. The lower the MSRP and selling price of a vehicle are, the lower and in turn more attractive its monthly payment will look. Consumers who add the equipment that they want frequently find that their vehicle is more expensive to lease than the one that is being touted in ads.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: jamabbo (Mar 12, 2009 3:45 pm) Welcome James. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.   In short, the best way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around and negotiate the lowest possible selling price on the model that you want. Once you have arrived at a selling price that you are comfortable with, have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using that vehicle's buy rate lease money factor.   Check out the articles that I linked above and let us know if you have any other questions.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
