Hi rudi2. Let's work up a lease payment on this car and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Sedan that has an MSRP of $23,000 and a selling price of $20,000 through Subaru Finance right now for 48 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $222.

Hello everyone!
 
First let me say what a great resource this board and site are! I'm looking to lease my first car and this site has been invaluable in teaching me the benefits of leasing a Legacy.
 
I'm currently looking at a:
2008 Subaru Legacy GT
-Auto Trans
-Spoiler
-XM Radio
-Armrest extenders
-Splash Guards, etc (Only thing the dealership has so I'll deal with it)
 
I was quoted a "sticker price" of ~$31k from Doug Smith Subaru in American Fork, UT from Dempfey Bowling.
 
For a 36month/15k lease the numbers were:
Residual: 54%
Money Factor: .00260
 
For a 36month/12k lease:
Residual: 55%
Money Factor: .00260
 
We've got about 10k to throw down, but ideally we want to throw down 4k at signing and then try to keep the monthly payments including tax below $400 (allowing our first 15 months to be "paid for" with the remaining 6k, while building up for the remaining 21 months)
 
Is this a good deal? I don't really have my heart set on this car, really I'd be happy with a 2.5i Limited Edition as the major factors in getting a car are that it have: AWD, Leather, and be Automatic Transmission. For me a lease is ideal just because I live in Hawaii but will be attending school on the mainland for at least the next 3 years, but I have no idea if Ill be returning to the island or sticking on the mainland (and shipping a car here is a pain!)
 
Thanks for your time!

Aloha scoobysubi. I'm glad that you enjoy these discussions so much. I see that you are considering making a very large down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers not to make any sort of capitalized cost reduction on leased vehicles. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.
 
In your post you mentioned that this car has a sticker price of around $31,000, but you never mentioned its selling price. Remember that the selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash or financing. Make sure that you are being given a discount on this car. You should stop by the "Subaru Legacy Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar vehicles lately.
 
Subaru's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Legacy GT Sedan Limited with 12,000 miles per year are .00240 and 54%, respectively.
 
Let me know if you have any other questions.
