Residual

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Infiniti QX56

Published by G

My Take: Found something interesting on the QX56. Infiniti’s rates are actually higher than those of third party banks. I won’t bother to calculate the payments since I think this SUV is way too expensive to actually lease, but I will post the numbers. You can do some comparison yourself by visiting Leasecompare.com.

Lease Rates through third party

2008 Infiniti QX56 AWD
36 Month – Residual 38% of MSRP – .00261 Base Rate

FINAL THOUGHTS: The 36-month lease hits the sweet spot, with the same residual as IFS, but a lower money factor. So what are the disadvantages of leasing through a third party bank? Possible disposition fee and lack of GAP coverage (in most cases). You can compensate for the lack of GAP coverage by purchasing it through your insurance company.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Toyota Highlander & 4Runner

Published by G

My Take: There is some cash rebates available for the 4Runner and the Highlander. With the 4Runner getting a $2500 rebate and the Highlander $1000. Low MF and the rebates help offset the uninspiring residual values. The 4Runner seems to be looking better than the highlander. Without options, you’re looking at mid-$300s after taxes for 36mo/15k. Add a few options and drop to 12k per year and you should be a well equipped 4Runner at around high-$300s after tax.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Audi Q7

Published by G

My Take: To be honest, now is not the time to lease an Audi SUV. Knowing how much these SUV’s go for, they certainly won’t be good leases unless lower MF is introduced and cash rebates are given to compensate for the poor residual values. No cash is available on this model, however, you can get 4.9% financing for up to 60 months. Whether you lease or buy, there’s not much of a “deal” here.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Honda CR-V

Published by G

My Take: The numbers aren’t looking very good on the Honda CR-V this month, so I’m not going to bother estimating payments, unless it’s requested. The residual is strong, but the MF is Honda’s standard rate, which means no lease support. Can’t blame them, the CR-V is a solid crossover SUV that’s fair efficient with gas and has pretty good cargo space. It’s not bad to look at either. I think the sweet spot (if you can call it that) would be the 36 and 48 months since the residual values drop “only” about 8%.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Lexus IS-F

Published by G

My Take: Bad residual (54%) and bad MF (.00255), factor in the high price tag of the IS-F and things start to go downhill from there. Since this is a rather “low-volume” car, I highly doubt it will ever be a good lease. So here are the numbers in case you got the cash to burn.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Infiniti FX

My Take: There rates on the FX this month are not exactly great, but there is $4000 in loyalty cash available to current Infiniti customers. That should make a pretty big difference in payments. Cash expires 9/30/2008.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Honda Pilot

Published by G

My Take: The rates for the 09 Pilot are so-so. Not much you can do about the residual, but the MF could be better. It is certainly better than Honda’s standard .00270 rate. Watch out for the higher end models. The residuals drop very quickly when you opt for a model with RES. My advice? Get a portal entertainment system for the kids. It’ll be cheaper.
