Hi peteyboy30. 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.
 
Subaru's current lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2010 Outback 2.5i with 15,000 miles per year are .00120 and 52%, respectively.
 
Subaru does not have any 2011 models out yet, but I suspect that the '11s will begin to arrive at dealers fairly soon. I believe that it has officially announced pricing for the '11 Outback, which is almost identical to the '10 model.
 
Given the fact that Subaru has virtually no incentives on the 2010 Outback right now, it couldn't hurt to wait and see if it introduces any offers to help clear out old inventory when the 2011 models begin to arrive at dealers.

Thanks Car_man! Do you know how much of a difference it makes to opt for the manual transmission instead of automatic?
 
Thanks again!

Hi,
 
I'm considering leasing and am not sure how to tell if it's a good deal. I initially negotiated a 2.5 ltd with a few extras for $27200 including destination not including 6% sales tax (Sticker price $29154 based on truecar.com). I inquired about lease options and was told the following:
 
42 month 12k miles a year $1500.00 total out of pocket $425.00 a month.
  
42 month 10k miles a year $1500.00 total out of pocket $418.00 a month.
 
Are these good deals considering the sales price I negotiated? Do I need additional information to make that assessment?
 
Thanks for helping a newbie.

I think thats a terrible deal. You can get a much more expensive car with that kind of money.
 
I am no expert but I have found that its best not to absolutely have your mind on 1 car to buy. Look around for deals you can find. Subarus are fantastic and I love them but I went to lease a V6 Limted and it was more expensive to lease than a BMW (3 series). Subaru sometimes takes advantage of our loyalty.
 
I ended up with a fully loaded Maxima (many more features than the outback) for about $70 less than the outback.
 
Look around, outbacks are fantastic but the 2011s are coming out in July so they should give you better deals.

I had a feeling that this wasn't a good lease deal but do you think it's because the negotiated sale price was simply too high?

Foresters have the best residuals among Subarus (up to 62%) if you feel like getting a quote for one of those.

No problem chavera2010. Subaru's June lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Outback Premium with a manual transmission with 15,000 miles per year are .00135 and 52%.

You're right about that, ateixeira. I was just looking at the resids for the 2011 Forester and I was amazed.

#340 of 538 2010 Subaru 2.5i manual - 10K/year - 36m lease, $0 down? by thedork

Jun 23, 2010 (1:14 pm)

Replying to: Car_man (May 25, 2010 3:00 am)
Could you please advise what price of that model I should negotiate? How low below the invoice I can go?
 
I am currently leasing the same one 2007 model - my deal was - $0 down, 36m, 12k miles for $281/month - would I be able to get the same deal?
 
Thank you!
