more questions. by jad376

The dealer replied via email that "gap insurance is included". Do I absolutely need this? Which situation would I not need gap insurance? What hidden costs would be in the lease that I can try to eliminate in addition to getting the selling price down further below what he's offering?
 
Again, the offer from the dealer:
 
'07 Subaru Legacy Limited (last one left): MSRP: 26,140
"$300 under invoice" price offered: $24,379
 
$339/month, $1100 down, 15k/year, 39 months
 
$369/month with $0 down
 
Res: 52%, MF: .00235
 
I believe the MF could be slightly lower. What do you think?
 
Thanks all!

Most leases these days include GAP protection w/o optout option. And to be honest, GAP is what you absolutely DO NEED when leasing with no/little down (which is the way to go in a lease). It protects you from bank demanding money in case of a total.
 
I would never buy GAP for a loan, but I would never lease (I mean "normal" lease, not one of those exotic put 10 grand down or so) without GAP.

OK, thanks for all your advices. The dealer just came back with $22,238 - $3,902 off the MSRP. Lease payment of $369/month folding all taxes and fees into the monthly payment with absolutely nothing down! Anything else I should know whatsoever? I'm going to get the car tomorrow.

I just plugged in the numbers to a lease calculator just to be sure - if this one is based on 12,000 miles a year, it's just a few dollars more than right-on-target. If the lease calculator is based on 10,000, I guess I've got a good deal on my hands.
 
MSRP: $26140.
 
Negotiated lease price: $22238 ($1000 lease cash included)
 
Tax, title, license, fees, etc.: $1100
 
Cap: $23,338
 
52% residual: $13,593
 
Money Factor: .00235
 
39 months
 
6% PA sales tax
 
$356.86 per month. If this is based on 12,000 miles per year (1000 miles per month), and the 250 extra miles needed to bring it up to 15,000 would be 0.15 per mile - that would, in theory, bring it up to $394 and change...so it looks like a pretty good deal after all.
 
I sent out some dealer inquiries to Volvo dealers about the V50, too - they come close ($431 for a $37,000 car?), but I'd rather save $3,588 in lease costs. Ciao!

Don't forget to see if the cap includes inception fee ($595-$695) and the dealers "documentation" fee ($200-300).

Saturday morning, I took delivery of my brand-new '07 Leggy, Diamond Grey Metallic w/black leather. $339/month, 39 months, 15k/year. That's it. Thanks to you all - I couldn't have done it without reading this forum all this year!
 
Although my car is a bit hard to get used to after seven years of PT Cruisers, the Leggy is winning me over slowly. It's much, much quieter than our Audi. I plan to get a Tornado for the naturally aspirated four-banger (although I did average 27 mpg on the way from Morristown, NJ to Bethlehem PA, not bad for day one), and next up will be a portable, dockable aftermarket nav system. I'm thinking of rigging a removable holder in the space between the air vents - you Subaru owners sure like to write about your cars on the discussion forums, so I won't have a problem finding advice in that area. Next up will probably be a bike rack for the low-profile roof rails. Again, thanks a ton and eventually come and Google over to the other Legacy forums (probably in the "Diamond Grey Thread"?) for pictures.
 
Ciao!
