I would love to pull off a lease similar to this. However, my motivation is to get out of negative equity on my vehicle. Our local Suburu dealer is also our Mercedes/Volvo Dealer. I currently drive a Mercedes C230 that I purchased CPO from the dealer. Hoping they will give me best price for my car and help roll it into the lease so I can start fresh. Based on the numbers I see, affodability should be cheaper than my current payment even with the negative rolled in. Is this realistic to hope for?

I went to 2 Subaru dealers and both told me that there will be an upcoming shortage of new cars due to the Japanese earthquake and they are selling more pre-owned cars and giving better trade-in values. This may help you get a higher trade-in for your existing car. Always get the best sales price possible for the new car and then talk trade-in. Good Luck!

Hi jimvt. I believe that Subaru's residual values for leases with 12,000 miles per year are 1% higher than its 15,000 mile per year residuals.

Dear Car Man,
 
Can you please provide me with Subaru's residual rates and money factor for the month of June on a 2011 Legacy 2.5i Limited for 12,000 36 months?
 
Please also provide the rates and factors for the 2.5i Premium, and 3.6R. Thanks so much.

Greetings am7843a. Subaru's June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Legacy 2.5i Limited with 12,000 miles per year are .00080 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '11 2.5i Premium are .00050 and 60%.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '11 3.6R are .00085 and 58%.

Thanks Car_man,
 
I was able to pull the trigger on a 2011 Suabaru Legacy Automatic CVT Transmission 2.5i Premium with the All-Weather Package for 12,000 miles/year for 36 months with no money down. The All Weather package gave me, Heated Front Seats, Winshield Wiper De-Icer, Heated Side Mirrors.
 
They gave me a 59% Residual Rate, and a .00065 Money Factor.
 
Please let me know if I made a good deal. Here are the lease deals:
 
$23,900 MSRP
 
$23,000 selling price
$695.00 Acquisition fee
----------------------
 $23,695.00- adjusted total
-$14,101.00- 59% residual
----------------------
$9,594.00- figure used to calculate part one of the lease
+ $75.00- Dlr. reg fee
+ $75.00- to transfer plates
+ $10.00- inspection fee
+ $12.50- NYS tire tax
-----------------------
  $9,766.50-- Total
 - $0.00-- cap reduction
-----------------------
  $9,766.50 divided by 36 = $271.29 Principle part of lease
  $23,695 + $14,101= $37,796
                                       
$37,796- # used to calculate interest charge
* .00065 Money Factor
--------------
     $24.57- interest factor
+ $271.29 - Principal
+ $21.30 - Tax 7.2%
-----------------
  $ 317.16- monthly payment for 35 months
 
Plus they are getting me out of my current Subaru lease, which had three monthly payments left, waived the disposition fee of $500, and waived my first monthly payment of $317.16 since I am a Subaru Motor Finance loyal customer. Is this deal fair?

#520 of 598 Can I do better? by pokermunkee

This is a quote from a Denver Subaru dealer. I'm looking at leasing a new 11 CVT Legacy 2.5i Premium AWP/Moonroof for 36/15k.
 
"Thank you for your inquiry into our Subaru Legacy. Please find attached a copy of the Invoice to our Azurite Blue Legacy CVT Premium with AWP & Moonroof as my example. MSRP is $24,915 but the selling price is $22,284 plus our $499.95 dealer fee.
 
To lease for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year and no money down, just first payment, you are looking at $286 plus tax per month. If your tax rate is 4.9% then thats $14.01 extra."
 
So lease is coming in at $300/month with $0 down. They have 2.9%/72 financing, which would make my payment around $360-370/month with $0 down.
 
HELP! I would really like to get the payment around $250/month, is that asking way way too much ($1800 in price difference)??
