#27 of 249 Re: prepay lease: no money factor / interest [soukouslover] by kyfdx HOST Jun 27, 2006 (8:00 am)
Replying to: soukouslover (Jun 27, 2006 7:19 am) That isn't exactly the way it works... Actually, you are financing the entire car... The lease calculation averages the CAP cost (selling price) and the residual amount, and you pay finance charges on the average of those two figures...   So, even if you pay the entire depreciation portion upfront, you are still financing the residual amount over the duration of the lease...   However, you can pre-pay the entire lease, and it does reduce the finance charges, but it doesn't do away with them completely..   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: mtho (Jun 26, 2006 12:55 pm) Here you go, Mike. If you were to lease a 2006 Subaru Outback Limited Wagon through its captive finance company right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00200 and 52%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '06 Outback LL Bean Wagon should be .00200 and 52% as well. When negotiating your lease on these cars, keep in mind that Subaru is providing its dealers with up to $1,000 dealer cash on '06 Outback models this month. The exact amount that dealers receive depends upon how many units they sell.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
#29 of 249 06 Outback 2.5i Lease by melissag Jul 25, 2006 (5:53 pm)
I'm planning on leasing an automatic 2.5i (probably 48 mos/15K miles). I'm looking at one with a $26K sticker price. What's a reasonable target number to negotiate down to? (no trade in) Replies to this message: Car_man (Aug 06, 2006 6:08 am)

Replying to: melissag (Jul 25, 2006 5:53 pm) Hi melissag. You may be able to get an idea of how much you will have to pay for the Outback that you are interested in by visiting the following discussion: "Subaru Outback: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Once you have an idea of the selling price of the Outback that you want (and its full MSRP) let me know and I would be happy to estimate what its lease payment should be for you.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
#31 of 249 2.5i Wagon by richw4 Aug 30, 2006 (12:15 pm)
I'm considering leasing a Subaru 2.5i Wagon (MSRP was approx. $27,000). Salesman in Riverhead, Long Island quoted me $376 per month, 48 months, $0 down. Could you please let me know if this is a good price, and if not, what should I be trying to negotiate down to?   Thanks. Replies to this message: Car_man (Sep 28, 2006 3:59 am)

Replying to: richw4 (Aug 30, 2006 12:19 pm) Rich--I ended up leasing through Manchester Subaru (New Hampshire) for $299 per month; 48 months; 15K per year; no trade in or $$ down, and the cash to close was one payment plus a relatively nominal (less than 200) charge. Good luck.

Replying to: richw4 (Aug 30, 2006 12:15 pm) Hi richw4. You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what this vehicle's selling price is.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: Car_man (Aug 31, 2005 4:21 pm) I just completed a deal on a demo Outback 3.0R. Love the car; hated the experience. Interested in knowing how I did. This is in Canadian dollars.   Demo had 12500kms. (MSRP in Canada for the car is $38995)My deal had a final cost of $36 000 (no other fees). 2.8% financing (non-negotiable) over 4 years with a $14 530 residual ($1007 off normal residual due to kms on car). Total tax rate here is 14%. My monthly payments are $577 all-in. Also got them to install an automatic car starter at no charge. Thanks.
#36 of 249 2.5i Outback Limited Wagon Lease by drewcar Oct 26, 2006 (2:12 pm)
Hello, Mr. Car Man. Thank you for being you.   A few important questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with when you have a moment:   1. Can you tell me the lease money factor and residual value percentage for a 2007 Subaru 2.5i Outback Limited Wagon?   2. I am using lease calculators to learn about this whole craziness....and I am a bit confused by the residual value computation. Is the residual value based on the Cap Cost or the Adjusted Cap Cost? It seems to me that, regardless of what one pays for a car, it is worth the same at the end of, say, 4 years and with 40,000 miles on it, no? Therefore, it would seem that the residual value is based on the Cap Cost NOT the adjusted cap. Please confirm or clarify if you would.   3. Finally, it seems that depreciation values set by leasing companies are rather high. If I return a leased car after four years with 40K miles, how am I to believe that the car is, say, 48% depreciated (52% residual value) when the private sale value after four years is more like a 65% residual value? Is this a profit angle or a cover-our-butts strategy to protect the leasing companies from value gaps?   Thanks for the help.   And again, thanks for being there.
