There have been a lot of changes across the board with IFS lease rates. 2% to 3% drops in residual, but money factors were adjusted, so expect numbers to be comparable to last month or better. More 2012 models will be rolling out in the coming months so negotiate accordingly.

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

Some big changes over at IFS this month. Residual values have gone up on all 2011 models. Unusual, but not unheard of. With that move, IFS has also bumped the money factors in order to keep the payments around the same ballpark as previous months. The good news here is that the increase of residual values seems to have more than offset the increase of the money factors.

Below, I have a quick sample calculation of July vs August rates using the same sale price. As you can see, the August lease rates are about $7 lower per month on the G37 Journey Sedan. The bad news is that returning IFS customers won’t have lease cash available to drop payments further. At least for now. According to Shappy, the loyalty cash is still going strong, hurray! See comments below. As I mentioned in this month’s VW post, lease rates and promotions CAN change mid-month, so check back often.
