STi

2010 Subaru Outback, Impreza, Legacy Lease Rates – October 2009

Published by G

logo_subbyUpdate: Updated some of the lease rates for the Outback and Impreza. My Take: Since I didn’t feel like splitting the different Subaru models, I’m decided to cram them all into one post. Anyway, I’m loving the residuals here. The MF is a bit weak though, but certainly not a deal-breaker. I think the price tags of these vehicles are low enough to keep the payments reasonable for most folks (That excludes the STi). As you probably noticed in my OC Auto Show pics, the STi looks pimp in the pearlescent white. Overall, my recommendation is to be aggressive with the sale price, bring it down the payments. Lease rates are usually what they are. Residual are set by the bank, so are the money factors. Sometimes you will find a dealer or two that will bump the MF to make extra money, but you can usually fix that by arguing for it OR putting a security deposit.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Subaru WRX STi

Published by G

My Take: There is about $500 worth of dealer contribution available for the STi. Whether the dealer wants to contribute is a whole other story. I’m willing to bet that as we approach the end of the month, they will be motivated to do so.
Rates are pretty mediocre right now, so you will have to rely heavily on your negotiating skills to get yourself a decent deal out of this. I wouldn’t exactly hold my breath thought. Don’t forget about MSDs, they can really help lower the monthly payments. It beats using your money as cap cost reduction.

My Take: I’m not too fond of the WRX’s hatchback styling, but there is no denying it’s abilities. The residual value is good on the Wagon and STi, however, the STi’s money factor could use some help. Unfortunately, the payments will still hang around the $400+ range with my recommended drive-off (1st month payment + fees) for the higher-end models.
