Replying to: denver5357 (Jan 29, 2007 8:18 am) Hi denver5357. All leases provide lessees with the option to purchase their vehicles for a predetermined price at lease-end. Vehicles' end of term purchase option prices are stated right on their lease contracts. There's nothing wrong with leasing an Outback and then purchasing it at the end of your lease if you decide that you like it. Doing so won't cost you a lot more than just financing the Outback that you want. Subaru's 42 month lease money factors for the 2007 Outback are between .00200 and .00250, which is equivalent to interest rates of around 4.8% to 6.0%. So it's lease program isn't amazing, but it isn't terrible either. There actually is an advantage to leasing. If you decide that you don't like your Outback, or if it has a ton of mechanical problems, or if it is involved in an accident that would diminish its future resale value you will be able to just walk away from it at the end of your lease. If it has been good to you and you decide that you like it then you can pay cash for or finance its purchase option price.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: 232499 (Feb 13, 2007 10:07 pm) Hi 232499. It sounds like you are new to leasing. If so, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.   I would be happy to estimate what this car's lease payment should be like right now for you, but in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with its selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. You may be able to get an idea of how much you should pay for this vehicle right now by visiting the following discussion: "Subaru Outback: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Let me know what selling price you come up with and I'll crunch some numbers for you.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Car Man,   What Lease Payment do you get with the following terms: MSRP: 28,346 Sales Price: 25,453 (already includes incentives) Residual: 15,590.30 (55%) Money factor: .0026 Acquisition Fee: 595 First mos and security deposit waived 42 mos. 10,000 per year. New Jersey   Option A We were going to strip out the tax and title and pay that outright (1782 for tax and 371 for title and registration) plus zero additional down.   Option B TTR + 1,000 down   Are these good deals? Am I missing something?   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: Car_man (Mar 21, 2007 3:07 am)

Replying to: bajafresh (Mar 06, 2007 8:54 am) Hi bajafresh. The money factors and residual values that you were quoted are right in line with Subaru Finance's current program for the model that you are interested in. This is a good thing. You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing though. 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 on this deal if you let me know what the selling price is.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: penpalev (Mar 09, 2007 10:16 am) Hi penpalev. The money factor and residual value that you were quoted are right in line with Subaru Finance's program for this vehicle. That's a good thing. Using them, an MSRP of $28,346, and a selling price of $25,453 I estimate that the 42 month, 10,000 mile per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment for the 2007 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Wagon that you are interested in should be around $342.   The base version of this vehicle has a spread of around $1,700 between its MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Add the $750 cash incentive to that and we have a total of around $2,450 to play with. You were quoted nearly a $2,900 discount on this vehicle, which looks like a very good deal to me. If you like it, I personally don't see any reason not to do this deal.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

#61 of 248 2007 Outback 2.5i AT by boblenon May 09, 2007 (8:59 am)
So I am looking at leasing a new Outback 07 2.5i AT - I have been driving a 2000 outback legacy for the past few years. I'm in upstate NY.   The terms for a lease I'm looking at are:   Term: 42 mo MF: .0025 Residual: 51% (13029) 15K miles/yr Selling Price: $23640 MSRP: $25549   I'm looking at a $265/mo (or $298/mo with taxes ect rolled in). This includes a trade-in of $2100. Price includes incentives.   From what I have read, this sounds a like good deal? Any comments?   Thanks. Replies to this message: Car_man (May 21, 2007 2:46 am)

Replying to: boblenon (May 09, 2007 8:59 am) Hi boblenon. The lease program that you were quoted for the Outback that you are interested in looks about right to me. However, I suspect that you will be able to negotiate a more attractive selling price on this car by shopping around. Subaru is currently providing $1,000 to $1,500 lease cash on the Outback right now plus there is around a $1,500 spread between the Outback's full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. Try stopping by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar models recently: "Subaru Outback: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
