The residual can usually go down 1% every couple of months but it depends on supply and demand. My local dealers have a ton of Legacy's and Imprezas. I don't see either model depreciating more than 2% by August.

You have been a great help chuck...thank you.
 
How are you figuring out your numbers? I am using a lease calculator online and i ran the scenario of $25042 (MSRP +$1700 SE discount) - Negotiated price at Edmunds invoice of $21921 (including destination) + $595 acquisition fee -$1500 rebate, 0 down (net cap cost of 21016) 57% residual ($13305) and money factor of 0.00170 for 36 months and I came up with $272.54 + tax. Am I missing something.
 
I usually don't lease so I am trying to wrap my head around all the numbers that can be played with before I make a deal.
 
Thanks again!

I just use a calculator and/or some scrap paper to calculate my leases. Simple math is all you need. 99% of the online lease calculators don't give you an accurate payment, especially the Edmunds's lease calculator.
 
Your adjusted MSRP is $23,342. Add the Special Edition Discount of $1750 back onto that, $23,342 + $1750 = $25,092. Residual is 57% of that = $14,302.44. If your sale price is INVOICE it's kind of high but using the net cap cost of $21,016 minus the residual of $14,302.44 = $6,713.56 divinded by term of 36 months = $186.49. Next, take residual, $14,302.44 plus net cap cost of $21,016 = $35,318.44 multiply by MF of .00170 = $60.04. Add $186.49 plus 60.04 = your pre-tax payment of $246.53.
 
As I said, if you are going with invoice, you are doing yourself a disservice. You should easily be able to negotiate to well below invoice. I'm at $19,072 sale price on an MSRP of almost $500 more than the one you are looking at.so you should be at $18,500 at least.
 
As far as finding a better deal goes, you can do everything by email and even have a delaer FedEx you the paperwork. Don't just settle with what you can get locally. Check all the high volume dealers in your area. Worst case scenario, you fly from Kentucky to Denver, CO for less than $220. The dealer can/will pick you up from the airport even. I'd do it to save myself over $2,000 in higher payments.

Thanks again Chuck. That was a huge help. I will keep shopping the price. Now that I have a more solid calculation....that will help.

I sent a couple emails for you. Joseph Subaru in Florence just sent me a quote, $19,434 sale price on an MSRP $23,276.
 
Options Include:
•All Weather Floor Mats
•Auto-Dimming Mirror w/Compass
•Convenience Group 1
•Off Black Center Armrest Extension
•Rear Dome/Reading Light
 
As you can see, if one dealer can sell a car for $19,072 probably ALL dealers can do so. This price quote was after one email. I've been back and forth with my dealer several times to reach their final "BEST" offer. Keep after them. You can now tell your dealer that Joseph Subaru is at $19,434 and "CAN YOU AT LEAST MATCH THAT PRICE?" Pit them against one another.

I called Joseph when shopping for my Subaru.. They didn't have the unit I was interested in (manual Impreza sedan), but they were very upfront with pricing... got a really good vibe from them..
 
Just my $0.02...

I agree, they are very honest and upfront. The salesman said that was his absolute lowest price he could offer until they earn their Subaru sales volume discount perhaps at the end of the month maybe sooner. Sounds legit.

2.5i SE Rebates/Dealer Cash by deege

Can anyone confirm if there are any rebates (cash to customer/dealer) that would apply in the New York state/northeast region? I am looking into a lease and want to know what other incentives or rebates are out there that I can incorporate in to my negotiations. Thanks in advance.

Every trim of the Legacy has $1,500 lease cash.
