Leasing Questions by msbob

My questions are:
1. Can you trade/use your current vehicle as the "down"?
2. Can you use a personalize license plate on a leased car?
3. Can you tint the windows? And would the dealership do that,adding the cost to the price?
4. What's the additonal cost should go over the 15,000 miles allowed?
5. Are my payments higher if I want to lease for 24 months? If so, would there be some type of "advantage" for if I continue to lease but a newer model? Thanks in advance, I want to be on the same page when I do meet w/ someone. Regards, Ms Bob

1. Yes, assuming you have equity (trade-in value > any loans remaining).
 
2. Yes. That's just the registration part. You can even transfer tags to another car if you want to keep 'em.
 
3. Probably, it may depend on the dealer. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to arrange it, but don't count on it increasing resale value so you'll probably pay for it all yourself.
 
4. Depends, that can be negotiated I believe.
 
5. Shorter term leases probably do cost more, because initial deprecition is the steepest.

Checking on a deal by cfilkins

I'm trying to help out my inlaws as they look to lease a new outback. They have one that is off lease on October, but the dealership is pushing them to get a new one now, telling them that their current one is worth more than they owe. The sales people are reluctant to cough up the numbers in any way that is readable by me, so I was hoping that y'all could help out...
 
2006 Outback 2.5i automatic
MSRP 27,376
Cap 24,890
acquisition 595
 
Residual 11,771.68
$339.99/month, 48 months, 12k
due on signing - 1st + reg ($339.99 + $117.56)
 
They pay 8.5% sales tax where they live, which they were told was all rolled in. Following what I read, I managed to work up a money factor of 0.00073 and a residual of 43%. Any info that y'all would be willing to share would be awesome!

Hi Chris. The selling price that your in-laws were quoted for the Outback that they are interested in looks good to me. Let's calculate what its lease payment should be using Subaru's current lease program and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if your in-laws were to lease a 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5i Wagon with an MSRP of $27,376 and a selling price of $24,890 through its captive finance company right now for 48 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $347. I used a money factor of .00170 and a residual value of 41% to arrive at this payment. So if they were quoted $339 a month for this car, this deal looks good to me.

Current Subaru Numbers? by ajfitzer

Hey Carman! I used your insight a few years back with my Subaru Legacy L 2003 sedan, and got a tremendous deal. Now that lease is ending in 2 months, and I am anxious to lean on you once again. Subaru is offering me PREFERRED LEASE LOYALTY, thus waiving my first monthly lease payment, as well as a waiver of the security deposit requirment if I lease another car through them. The only model my wife and I are interested in is the Outback. I would NOT be willing to settle on the 2.5 UNLESS it has the turbo, as the engine (the same 4 I have in my current Legacy) just does not have enough pep.
 
I'm thinking of leasing a 2006 Outback 2.5xt Limited with automatic or PERHAPS the 3.0 LL Bean Wagon ($$ and inventory will decide it for me). Apparently they did not make many 2.5xt's so my negotiating power might be limited on that model. Have you heard the same on this? However, the MSRP on the 3.0 Outback is over 30K, and might be out of my reach. We are looking for 12,000 miles per year, 36 to 42 months, 0 down.
 
What would the residual and money factor be? Any Subaru incentives this month? What should I expect to pay? Does it make sense to TRY and get a good deal now with 2 months left on my current lease (I am not over on miles or anything)?

Carman, I have decided on the 3.0R wagon, as it is more in my price range, and has the extra power. The lease invoice i saw from a dealer was $26,911 with a .00150 MF and 49% residual for 42 months. Subaru is NOT offering any incentives or lease cash on this model! It is a shame, as I might decide to look at the Tribeca now. See my posting in the Tribeca Lease area. I have gotten some amazing offers.

Hey ajfitzer. I'm glad to hear that you got such a good deal on your Legacy. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited through Subaru Auto Finance right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00150 and 53%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 42 month lease should be .00150 and 50%. The numbers for a 36 month / 12k lease of an '06 Subaru Outback 3.0 LL Bean Edition Wagon are currently .00150 and 56%. This model's 42 month / 12k numbers should be .00150 / 52%. Subaru is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of these models. I am not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for this vehicle right now, but you may be able to get an idea of how much you should pay by visiting the following discussion: "Subaru Outback: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". If I was in your situation, I personally would wait until the scheduled end of my current lease to get a new vehicle.

Thanks for the reply Car-Man! I had received a TREMENDOUS offer on a TRIBECA Limited lease, that was too good to pass up, so I went that direction.

Thanks again for all your wisdom. It allowed my family to have a suitable truck with more bells and whistles then we otherwise could have afforded.

Subaru Outback 2.5XT Ltd Lease by modo4128

We just leased a new 4door automatic with subwoofer, autodimming mirror & compass, and all weather floor mats. Financing was done via Subaru in California with a residual factor of 51% and money factor of .00165.
  
MSRP was $33,345, we paid invoice of $30,842. With $1420 downpayment, we are paying $504/month for 36 months. Sound like a reasonable deal? Never sure about these things...how does dealer make money if we pay invoice?
