September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Lexus IS-F

Published by G

My Take: Bad residual (54%) and bad MF (.00255), factor in the high price tag of the IS-F and things start to go downhill from there. Since this is a rather “low-volume” car, I highly doubt it will ever be a good lease. So here are the numbers in case you got the cash to burn.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Infiniti FX

Published by G

My Take: There rates on the FX this month are not exactly great, but there is $4000 in loyalty cash available to current Infiniti customers. That should make a pretty big difference in payments. Cash expires 9/30/2008.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Honda Pilot

Published by G

My Take: The rates for the 09 Pilot are so-so. Not much you can do about the residual, but the MF could be better. It is certainly better than Honda’s standard .00270 rate. Watch out for the higher end models. The residuals drop very quickly when you opt for a model with RES. My advice? Get a portal entertainment system for the kids. It’ll be cheaper.

September 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Mercedes Benz CL, CLK, CLS, G, R, S and SL-Class

Published by G

My Take: Rest of the MB line-up looks pretty bad. There is some lease support on the CLK350, but that’s about it. The rest of lineup boasts really low residual values and higher than average money factors.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08/09 Nissan Rogue

Published by G

My Take: Residual values are quite high for the 24 month leases this month. Unfortunately, the MF is a bit on the “high” side. There isn’t much of a MSRP/Invoice price window (about $1000, should be a bit more on a higher end model with options) so if you want big discounts, you will have to dip below invoice to get it. The 09 model leases for a bit more than the 08 model, so I would recommend getting the 08 at this point.

My Take: The CX-7’s rates are looking very promising this month. Be sure to inquire about possible MAC rebates that may be available to you. Invoice price should be attainable on this 08 model as well. TMV states otherwise, but I don’t put too much stock on TMV most of the time.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedes Benz SLK-Class

Published by G

My Take: The SLK is not terribly expensive for a $45k car (at base price). Compared to the 09 Audi A5, it is certainly cheaper. You can probably dip a bit below invoice considering the current economic situation. Drop the mileage to 10k or 12k and you will easily drop below $600 per month with your standard inception fees.
