2012-13 Lexus Lease Rates – July 2012

Published 2012/07/19 by G

Lexus lease rates changed mid-month, so here are the updated numbers. Notable changes are the drop in residual value and the subsequent drop in the money factor to keep payments within last month’s ballpark. Conquest, Military, Graduate and First Month payment incentives are also in effect for most models. Unfortunately, I didn’t see loyalty cash, but I would recommend asking about it anyway. Please check Edmund’s incentive page for more details. You can find the links above this post or on the right sidebar.

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.

2012 LEXUS IS250 AT SDN
MSRP – $35840
Sale Price – $32217 (invoice + $1000 graduate cash + $700 first month payment)
Monthly – $362+ tax
RWG Rating – 96.0

2012-13 Volvo Lease Rates – July 2012

Published 2012/07/18 by G

Numbers carry over from June (they were the same as May. That’s three months in a row!). There are a few changes to their incentives through.

Conquest, Loyalty and Dealer Cash are all still present
Dealer cash is now $2,000 on C70, $1,500 on 2012 and 2013 XC-90, $1,000 on S60 T-5, $1,500 on S60 T-6, $500 on S80, and $1,000 on XC-60
Volvo has also upped the 2 payment waiver program to 4 payments waived. That’s FOUR payments you don’t have to pay! YEY!

I may be speaking out of my “you know what”, but I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the dealer could potentially discount you up to $1800 (four payments, maxed at $450 per payment) in addition to the dealer cash and conquest/loyalty. See my “hypothetical” numbers below. Remember. this is an assumption, so you need to work these numbers out with your dealer. They have final say, I don’t. My job is to highlight what “may” be possible. Best of luck to you all! These numbers look sick (in a good way)!!!

Kudos to Rman for keeping the info coming by way!

2012-13 Audi Lease Rates – July 2012

Published 2012/07/152012/07/15 by G

Summer of Audi is looking better with some drops in money factor. Residual changed on some models, but for more mainstream ones like the A4, the residual remains the same. Looking over TrueCar sales data from last month, it looks like invoice + incentives ($1000 loyalty) is attainable. If you aren’t an existing Audi customer, hovering around invoice or slightly below that should be your max sale price.

2012-13 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates – July 2012

Published 2012/07/14 by G

Very minor changes this month. You probably won’t notice much. Slight bump in MF here and a reduction there, but that’s about it. With my C250 coupe calculation below, I am going to go with invoice. However, I do feel that going under it should not be terribly difficult. On a side note, the C sedan does get $1000 in loyalty cash, so that might be an incentive for those of you willing to go with a 4-door instead of two.

2012-13 BMW Lease Rates – July 2012

Published 2012/07/14 by G

Took me a while, but finally found the time to get some numbers posted. BMW dropped the residual and MF across the board. I think the residual drop was much more dramatic than I expected. I usually expect about 2-3%, but I’m seeing up to 5% on some models, YICKES! Anyway, in the calculation below, I am using the usual $500 over invoice sale price that’s been a common theme for BMWs in the past. I’m not seeing any incentives with 2012s on Edmunds, but that may be because 2013s are out (those have $750 loyalty and $1000 college grad). May be wise to check if there are any incentives on the 2012s because that should drop the payments a bit more.

2012-13 Nissan Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/21 by G

Sorry for the delay with the Nissan numbers. Cut my finger last weekend so typing was rather painful. Work was also a bit overwhelming this week so the blog sort of was left in the back burner. Anyway, you still have a solid week to cut deals on the Altima, which should still be getting a lot of discounts right now. 2013 model is officially out and it looks expensive. Residual is pretty nice though. Curious as to what the 2013 Altima leases for this month? TrueCar suggests that their dealers are offering the 2013 Altima S for about 4% off MSRP. Using that assumption, please see calculation below. If you are a recent college graduate, knock off another $500.

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.

2012 Honda Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/18 by G

Not a lot of changes with Honda lease rates this month. Everything look about the same as last month. The Accord is getting a refresh soon (Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan have already done so), so expect the current Accord to be the last of it’s generation. This typically means good deals can be had through the model year (i.e. $1250 dealer cash). Below, I did a very “conservative” estimate of Invoice – $1250 dealer cash. My recommendation is to make an initial offer that is lower than my estimate and go no further than invoice – dealer cash.

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.

2012-13 Hyundai Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/142012/06/18 by G

2012 model lease rates remain unchanged. 2013 don’t look half bad either. The numbers for the Azera are out and they look average. If you compared it to the Lexus ES350, they aren’t too far off from each other. A couple things to be aware of though; Hyundai has bumped the prices to many of their 2013 models significantly. Sure, they remain well equipped, but the price gap between comparable models seems to be dwindling. See stories below:

2013 Hyundai Equus Officially Hits $60,000 Mark, Thanks To Price Hike
2013 Hyundai Elantra Gets Price Hike
2013 Hyundai Accent Gets $2,000 Price Increase

So there you have it, expect to pay more for a Hyundai going forward.

I have mixed feelings because I feel it is a little too early in the game to be jacking up the prices by the thousands (about two years ago, I would have never considered leasing a Hyundai). Will I get another Hyundai after my Sonata? Probably, but the price advantage is slowly disappearing, which may dissuade me from getting another one down the road.
