November 2008 Lease Rats for 08 Infiniti M35 and 09 Infiniti FX

Published by G

My Take: The M35 seems to have a lot of rebates available so you can probably a get a hefty discount. One thing keep in mind is that the M35 leases better at the 36 month and 48 month terms due to a discount on the money factor. There is also 0.9% financing for up to 72 months so that is also a good alternative to leasing. The FX isn’t seeing much of a discount or any lease support at the moment. Still a relatively new SUV, so I’m not very surprised. I would recommend holding out until next year, to see if the numbers improve.

November 2008 Lease Rates for 09 VW Routan and Tiguan

Published by G

My Take: VW’s brand new Minivan (Routan) has a fairly attractive leasing offer right now. There aren’t any cash rebates, but the residual and money factor is fairly attractive. Remember that you can save yourself anywhere from $20-$30 per month if you opt for the 12k mile term instead of the 15k mile term. That will boost your residual value about 2%. The Tiguan continues to have fairly low money factors and high residual value this month so it is a good alternative if you are looking to lease something with decent cargo room. There is “special” financing available starting at 3.9% for 36 months and so on. The longer the term, the higher the percentage.

November 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Acura TSX and TL

Published by G

My Take: The residual values are strong on the 09 TSX and TL, but the money factor is still the deal-killer here. Way too high in my opinion. I can’t justify leasing a sub-$30k car for $400+ per month after taxes. That’s just too much. I won’t even get into the payments on the TL, ridiculous. I think something has got to give between now and sometime early next year. The money factors should drop more. I think the base TSX leasing around $350 after taxes (with inception due at signing) is reasonable, while the TL base should be somewhere in the low $400s with tax and inception fees due at signing. That would ideal.

November 2008 Lease Rates for 08/09 Lexus ES and IS models

Published by G

My Take: The rates for the 09 Lexus ES and IS look promising this month. I get the feeling that the days of leasing a $30k+ luxury car for $300s a month with just inception fees and taxes are over. After looking at Infiniti’s 09 G37s, I’m starting to think that the banks have decided not to inflate residual values too much. Good for them, bad for us. In any case, Lexus residual values could use a boost, but the money factors are pretty good. There is a $1000 cash rebate for current/former ES owners, so be sure to take advantage of that if you have/had an ES. FYI…invoice data isn’t available on the 09 IS and ES on Edmunds so you’ll have to guess as to what it is. I suspect it should be around $2000 or so under MSRP.

Novermber 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Infiniti G37

Published by G

My Take: Wow, 09 G37s (sedan and coupe) rates really suck this month. My advice is to hold out til next year and see how the numbers look. The residual value is higher than most cars on the road, but not as high as the 08s used to be so it won’t be cheap.

UPDATE: I added the 08 G37 Journey rates.

November 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mazda6

Published by G

My Take: The 09 Mazda6 is a pretty sweet ride in my opinion. The lease its not too bad this month, expect to pay in the vicinity of low $400s for a well-equipped 6s Touring after taxes with inception fees upfront. I went ahead calculated the payments on a version of the 6s Touring with the following options: Moonroof/Bose Pkg, Convenience Pkg, Auto-Dim Mirrors, CD/MP3. MSRP runs for about $30,090 with destination charges with an invoice of around $27,315. If I pushed the dealer to sell it at invoice, I would be looking at about $398 (with 8.25% CA tax) per month with roughly about $1200-1300 due at signing (36/12k lease). Now there isn’t any mfg cash rebate available, but maybe the dealer would be willing to go below invoice to make a sale? Worth asking.

November 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Mecedes Benz C, SLK, ML, GL, CLK, E and R-Class

Published by G

My Take: Despite the fact that MB’s generally don’t lease all that well, there are a few “promising” deal worth looking into. I’ve filtered out the crummy leases and listed the “better” ones below. By Mercedes Benz standards, these numbers look pretty decent, but they do fall a bit short compared to BMW, Lexus and Infiniti leases. Of course, MB fans will be quick to point out that nothing else gives you as sense of prestige than having a 3-pointed star on your hood/grill. That is true if you have a very high option of MB. I personally look at cars on a “case-by-case” scenario and my wallet pretty much dictates what I drive. Of course, if money isn’t much of an issue, I wouldn’t mind having a MB in my garage…specially the C63 AMG…*DROOL*. By the way, there shouldn’t really be any reason to pay anywhere close to MSRP for any MB right now. Invoice should be attainable in most markets, heck, I would even shoot for a few thousand under. Doesn’t hurt to ask! By the way, there is some lease cash available on the ML350, so look into that if you are shopping for that SUV.

November 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedes Benz Models To Avoid

Published by G

My Take: Here’s a list of the “bad” 09 Mercedes Benz leases. If you are looking to lease any of the following cars, you may want to rethink that if you are shopping for a deal. Poor residual value and/or high money factors are never a good combination, even if you manage to get the dealer to lease the car at below invoice price. There’s just way too much interest and/or too much depreciation that even cash discounts can’t overcome, so try to avoid the following cars.
