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

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.

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

Hi i leased a automatic legacy SE sedan today the Current Money Factor is now 0.0013 and the residual is 57% for a 36 month 12k and 56% for a 15k lease there is $1000 lease cash available the acquisition fee is $595 The way the residual is calculated is as follows for example the MSRP is listed at 22990 (Pez low emmissions) the SE model has a $2000 plus package less $1750 package discount (crazy). the residual is being calculated at 56% of the inflated MSRP ie 24,740 MY residual was 13854.40 ( 15 k miles) total lease payments of 249.77 month( this payment includes 9% sales tax that is charge by the state i live in PA) I paid $457 up front ( 1st payment plus licence fees tags doc fee etc) total cap cost 20496 ( 595 acquisition rolled in )

Replying to: lucy17 (Feb 23, 2009 4:54 pm) 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.

Replying to: jamabbo (Mar 12, 2009 3:45 pm) 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 |

Hey carman, do you have the MF and residual values for an 09 Legacy GT, 5spd with no other options, 36mo, 12k mi/yr? Thanks!

I got quotes on two legacy models last night and figured I'd share the numbers Both are 36mo 12k mi/year Legacy GT: 0.00200 MF, 49% residual Legacy 2.5 SE: 0.00180 MF, 56% residual. $1800 at signing (all taxes and fees included) $220/mo. this was before any negotiations what so ever, their first offer follow test drive. MSRP $23540, Buy price $20790. The deal factors in a $1500 rebate from Subaru. I will post another update once April numbers are out and I bargain it down a bit. Too bad the LGT has an MSRP of $30k, they need to make a non-limited Legacy GT available! |
