October 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Infiniti EX35

My Take: Couple of months ago, IFS was pushing their 24 month leases at rockbottom money factors. 60 days later and a financial meltdown later, you’re looking at more attractive 36month and 48month leases for the EX35. How things change! Its not a bad idea to lease for 48 months as long as the warranty runs that long. Premium cars typically include a 48-month warranty, while the rest usually offer a 36-month warranty. As for the EX35, most people will have a hard time finding a base 2WD or 4WD model on the lots. They were rare over the summer, so chances are they will be practically non-existant now. Too bad, because they seem to lease cheaper than the Journey. As far as pricing is concerned, $1500 under wasn’t unheard of back in July, certainly not impossible now. There is $500 dealer cash so factor that into your calculations. Just for reference, the 48mo lease should be about $6 or so less per month than the 36mo.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Audi TT

My Take: The TT leases look good enough to look into this month. Unfortunately, there isn’t any dealer or manufacturer cash floating around, so you will need to put on your negotiator hat for this one. Just keep in mind that this is a buyers market, so if you have any reservations about the deal, walk away from it. As for me, I doubt this car will ever see the comforts of my garage. The bargain hunter in me cannot justify a 4cyl two-seater that costs well over $40k equipped the way I like it.

October 2008 Lease Rates for 09 Audi A5/S5 and A8/S8

My Take: Nothing to sing about here. The A5/S5 still has pretty high money factors, granted they have dropped some since it’s introduction. The A8/S8 suffers from poor residual values, otherwise, the money factors look pretty good. Unfortunately, we need both numbers to be good in order to have a decent deal on our hands, so my suggestion is to skip them both this month.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Audi A3

My Take: Yickes, the A3 isn’t exactly a deal right now with those high money factors. I wouldn’t recommend leasing this car this month unless you like paying high interest rates. It seems the 2nd half of the year is truly not as good as the 1st half of the year when it comes to leasing.

October 2008 Lease Rates for 08/09 FX50, IS350, Odyssey, Impreza WRX and ML350

My Take: One word sums this bunch…UNINSPIRING. Residuals are mediocre to pathetic, while the money factor is WAY too high. I’m just bundling these lease rates together since it’s pointless to analyze the numbers. After looking at lease rates monthly for six months (yes folks! RIDE with G is six months old!!! WOOT!) I can pretty much tell whats worth the time and what’s not. It’s a shame too since I really like the FX50 and the IS350.

October 2008 Lease Rates for 08/09 Nissan Altima

My Take: There are two 09 models of the Nissan Altima that have decent rates while three of the 08s look like they are being clearanced. The sweet spot on the 08s and 09s seem to be the 36mo lease, but the 08s 24-month lease also looks very good. Don’t forget to factor in the $500 customer cash on the 2009 models, and if you are a recent or soon to be graduate, you get another $500. The $500 guaduate cash is also available on the 2008 models, but the best part seems to be the $1250 customer cash that’s also there for the taking.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 08/09 MINI Cooper

My Take: The MINI Coopers are looking quite good this month with the 09 models out, you can take advantange of the super high residual values. The money factors are less than desirable, but the residual does help offset the high interest. Word of caution, this car has boat load of options, the more you add, the more expensive it gets. There aren’t any major inceptives here, but you can probably get the lowest rate without a security deposit. Expect payments in the mid-$300 to high-$300 range for a well-equipped model of the Cooper S and high-$200, low-$300 for the base Cooper.

October 2008 Lease Rate for 08/09 Infiniti M35, FX35, QX56

My Take: A lot going on at Infiniti this month…there’s about $4000 loyalty cash and $2000 lease cash for the FX35. While the M35 has $6000 dealer and $1500 sell down cash available. Edmunds suggest that the TMV price is a whopping $10k below MSRP. That’s freaking cheap! Unfortunately, I don’t think you can get that much off MSRP if you finance or lease, so take my lowest estimate with “a grain of salt”. However, invoice + $1500 cash shouldn’t be too outrageous of an asking price. Speaking of financing, 0.9% APR is available for up to 72 months in case you want to buy this car. Couple things to note, the M35 & F35 lease best at 36 months and possibly 39 months (I don’t know the rates for that term unfortunately) It is a good time to buy or lease Infiniti folks, no question about it.
