2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – October 2012

Published by G

Don’t bother asking me about the 2012 G37 numbers because I don’t have them. 2013s are out so that is all I got at the moment. They do not look bad at all, but keep in mind that 2013s are still pretty new so the sale prices may not be as low as you’d like. If you can hold out for the holidays, I suggest you do.


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.

2013 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates – October 2012

Last month’s numbers were VERY good. This month, MBFS brought down the MF on some of their cars yet again!!! That means payments should drop even further on cars such as the C-Class! If you have been waiting for a C-Class, go visit your local dealer for a test drive.

2013 Volvo Lease Rates – September 2012

Published by G

Looks like the awesome Volvo deals have come to an end. No more lease support on the 2012s. Dealer cash is mainly available on the 2012s, not the 2013s. The deals are nowhere near as good as they where a last month with the FOUR payment waiver. However, considering these are 2013s, they rate pretty good (See S60 sample calculation below).

Yes, these numbers came in late. Fortunately, they aren’t expected to change next month so you can continue to use them until November.

Lease rates was made available by the good folks at North Point Volvo. If you are in or near the Alpharetta, GA area and looking for a Volvo, please give them a call.

2012 Honda Lease Rates – September 2012

Published by G

Numbers don’t look as obvious as some of the other brands. Residuals, for most cars, dropped. However, Honda didn’t drop the MFs to compensate, they bumped it up a bit. So what’s the deal? Well, it looks like here is marketing (dealer) cash available on practically every single 2012 left in stock. This is probably the last month I will be posting 2012 numbers so expect 2013s to pop up next month. Taking a look at the Accord, there is $1750 in dealer marketing cash available. I have taken the lowest sold price on the LX Accord, but I am willing to bet there’s a little extra wiggle room due to the dealer cash. Be sure to take advantage of it.

On a more personal note, wife and I took a spin on the 2012 Honda Pilot Touring. We are looking closely at the EX 4WD, which we will more than likely pick up in the Bay Area since So Cal is devoid of 4WD Pilots. However, it looks like the 2013 will have Bluetooth and backup camera as standard equipment (even on the lowly LX), so there is a possibility we hold out for the 2013…Which brings me to our dilemma…what to do with the 2010 Jetta Wolfsburg? Do we buy it and drop the Sonata when the 2013 gets cheap next Fall? Do we go with go all out with the 2012 Touring 4WD? Decisions, decisions…

2012-13 Nissan Lease Rates – September 2012

Published by G

Yup, you guessed it! There was a drop in Residual and MF. How did you know??? There are some things that stayed the same though, such as the Maxima. There was also a bump on the Leaf and Altima coupe. Nothing major though. Look at the 2013 Altima, it seems waiting it out has paid off. Nissan dropped the residual a little, but the MF was dropped fairy significantly. I like it!

2012-13 Hyundai Lease Rates – September 2012

Published by G

Pretty much usual residual and MF drop I expected. For those of you who are new, expect most lease rates to change every other month. Typically, Sept/Oct remain the same and Nov/Dec is when the special Holiday promos go into effect. Leasing used to be much better during the Spring/Summer time some years ago. Now, the deals are typically found during the Fall/Winter season. I expect the residuals/mfs to drop one more time before we close out the season.
