Money Factor

2011-12 Audi Lease Rates – June 2011

Published by G


Tarry of LeaseCompare has been MIA this month, so I have been scouring through Edmund’s forums to see if Audi numbers have changes this month or not. I am happy to report that it doesn’t look like Audi made changes to their lease rates this month. I would recommend double checking Edmund’s incentives page to see if there is any cash or special financing available. The only Audi I would recommend leasing at the moment would be the A3. This has been the case for the better part of this year (although it was much better earlier in the year) because the residual values are reasonable and the money factor is still VERY low. TrueCar also indicates sale prices of nearly 9% off MSRP on the Premium model, which is actually a very good deal.

As usual, if anything changes, I will update this post.


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.

2011 Audi A3 S-tronic Frontrak Premium
MSRP – $28,145
Sale Price – $25,721
Monthly – $320+ tax
RWG Rating – 88.2

2011-12 Volkswagen Lease Rates – June 2011

Published by G


VW numbers are practically the same as May’s. VW Credit seems to be providing support on the 39-month leases right now, which I do not recommend for California residents (an other residents who pay yearly dmv registration fees). Our registration fees are high (my 3-year old G37 was $325 and my Sonata was $425), so it doesn’t make sense to pay it twice in one year. Plus VW has a $350 disposition fee, so you will get reamed for nearly $600 at lease end. That doesn’t include going over your miles, wear-n-tear and tires (should you need it). With that in mind, if a 39-month lease works for you, the CC is a very solid deal at the moment. See calculation below.

For those who are interested, I wanted to share with you my experience dealing with a couple of So Cal VW dealers. During the research process for my last lease, I contacted three dealerships in LA/OC (McKenna, Timmons, Garden Grove) and here are the results:

Garden Grove never called me back.

Timmons called me a few days after I submitted an inventory request (their online inventory was terrible out-of-date). They told me they would get me a “no-haggle” quote on a Tiguan S and never got back to me.

The most interaction I had was with McKenna, which is same dealer my wife leased her Jetta from (although they have since relocated from Norwalk to Cerritos). These are the numbers I got from Luis Romero, the ISM at McKenna (yes, I mention his name on purpose. Think of this as a “bad” review).

For a GTI with Sunroof, they wanted $437 with tax per month and $850 at signing. Jetta TDI, $428 with tax per month and $850 at signing. These were basically off MSRP, with the $850 paying for your inception fees (bank fee rolled into lease). I was a bit pissed off at him for quoting a returning customer MSRP, so I moved on. Fast forward 30 days and I get an email asking if I was still on the market. So I tell him how “insulted” I felt that he would quote a returning customer such as a crappy price and here is his response…

“I apologize if you feel that way, the cars you are looking for are in high demand, and they are specialty items, and we have higher bids on the cars specially the TDI, but ultimately we are a business, and as such we are entitled to try to make a buck or two. I hope you find what you are looking, and what is more important at the price you are looking for. If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to contact me.”

Yes, they are a business, and they are entitled to make money. Just as much as I am entitled to feel slighted and take my business elsewhere. If I get a VW again, I will more than likely use a broker, tired of dealing with local VW dealers.

On the other hand, the Harbor Hyundai was a breeze to deal with. Online inventory was accurate and pricing was below TrueCar right off the bat. Customer service was outstanding for a non-luxury brand. Highly recommend them. If you would like the contact info of the sales guy I dealt with, drop me line below.

2011 Nissan Lease Rates – June 2011

Published by G


With the exception of the Altima, most other Nissan models got a nice drop in money factor. Residuals remain steady (same as last month). I think sale prices have probably inched up a bit, but the drop in money factor should help keep payments reasonable. As for the Altima, it looks like sale prices dropped a tiny bit, but the bump in MF bumped the payments a few bucks north. Overall, I was expecting higher increases than what I am currently seen. By no means is this going to stay the same through out the month. Dealers can (and sometimes will) adjust sale prices mid-month to compensate for any changes in delivery and/or market trends.


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.

2011 NISSAN ALTIMA SEDAN S CVT

2011 Lexus Lease Rates – June 2011

Published by G


Lexus has not changed the residual value of their IS250 since March! The money factor has also gone down a little bit. Normally, this is a good thing. However, the sale prices for all things Lexus have shot up significantly, making the lease more expensive. Based on the calculation below, the price difference between a March lease of the IS250 vs the June lease is about $45 or $1620. Pretty hefty huh?

My wife has recently made her desire for a IS250 (as her next lease) known, so I am really hoping numbers start improving over the next year or so. Lucky for us, her lease does not end until Feb 2013, which gives us a year and a half to see how Toyota handles their recovery process. At the moment, I am suspecting that her Jetta’s payoff is probably around the same as it’s wholesale value since her Jetta is pretty rare. I’m hoping there is at least $1000 worth of positive equity by the time she decides to trade it in.


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.

March Calculation

2011 Lexus IS250 AT Sedan
MSRP – $34,690
Sale Price – $30,265

2011-12 BMW Lease Rates – June 2011

Published by G


LeaseCompare has not officially released June’s BMW numbers on their Facebook page yet. But I managed to confirm the 3-series numbers and they remain the same as May’s. I think it should be safe to assume that June numbers remain unchanged for the rest of the line up. If anything changes, I will let you know.

Based on Angel Romero’s deal on a Z4, it looks like BMW is providing a FANTASTIC 24-month lease on these convertibles. If you are in the market for one, how is a good time. 24-month leases may feel a little bit short, but the one thing I do love about them is the fact that you can avoid a lot of the wear-n-tear costs that creep up on 36-month leases. Existing BMWFS customers should enjoy a 0.0003 discount on the money factor, making this lease an even SWEETER deal. You can make this even more appealing by adding some MSDs to drive the money factor down for more savings!


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.

2011 BMW Z4 sDrive30i

2011-12 Acura Lease Rates – June 2011

Published by G


TL and TSX money factors dropped since May. Other than that, everything else stays the same. As good as Acura programs are, I still find it difficult to see how their leases are financially attractive. Money factors were more than likely dropped in response to price hikes due to production shortages. I was really hoping that this year would be the year where we would see great leases like we did three or four years ago. It’s not looking like that’s going to be the case.

Published by G


Numbers remain the same as May. Sale price has shot up quite due to Japan’s production woes. Expect to pay a lot more this month compared to last month. Check out the CrossTour’s calculations this month compared to last month. Ouch! It went from a great lease to a crappy one in a matter of a few months. Expect the same thing to happen for other Honda models.


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.

2011-12 Infiniti Lease Rates – June 2011

Published by G


If you have been using May numbers to calculate your lease estimates, your estimates should still work this month. These aren’t the best numbers of the year, but that’s mainly due to lower residuals and the residual effect of the tsunami/earthquake in Japan. I do not expect availability to improve until at least September. To be honest, I think it might be more like Dec 2011/Jan 2012. Nevertheless, Infiniti is still one of the best luxury brands to lease from right now because their payments are very affordable (for a luxury brand).

If you notice below, sale prices have gone up a bit (due to limited availability) compared to last month. The longer you wait, the more expensive it’s probably going to get.


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.

May Estimate
2011 Infiniti G37 Sedan Journey
MSRP – $36,695
Sale Price – $32,070
Monthly – $350+ tax
RWG Rating – 100.1

June Estimate
2011 Infiniti G37 Sedan Journey
MSRP – $36,695
Sale Price – $32,320
Monthly – $357+ tax
RWG Rating – 98.6
