Residual

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mazda 6

Published by G

My Take: The 09 Mazda6 i Touring’s numbers look pretty decent this month. Could be lower on the MF department, but I can’t complain. Add a couple grand in options and you are still looking at sub-$400 payments with just inception fees. You can further cut back the monthly payments by opting for the 12k mile per year allowance. Avoid the 48 month lease, not only does the residual drop like 13%, but you are going to get hammered on the money factor.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Audi A3

Published by G

My Take: I think that Audi can do better on the A3, personally. This is their “cheapest” car on their line up, yet it costs more to lease than a base Lincoln MKS and a base BMW 335i. Geez! I wonder which one I’m gonna pick, huh? Oh well, that’s Audi for ya.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Acura MDX

Published by G

My Take: The bad news is that the MDX doesn’t have any lease support this month. The good news is that there is $4000 of factory to dealer cash available. It doesn’t mean you will get all that cash for sure, but it doesn’t hurt to ask for it. Keep in midn that’s manufacturer to dealer cash, so I would mention that AFTER you negotiate a sale price from the dealer. I know, I’m sneaky like that, but hey, its your money, I’m just trying to save you some. Another option would be to take advantage of the 0.9% for up to 36 months and 2.9% for up to 60 months. Not too bad if you ask me.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Audi A5/S5

Published by G

My Take: Hats off to you if you are able to get the A5 at invoice. I must say the MF and residual are quite horrible for this model, as a matter of fact, it is probably the worse lease I have analyzed this month. I would recommend staying clear from the A5 until probably next year.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08 Mazda CX-9

Published by G

My Take: I think the residual value on the CX9 has dropped to the point where not even the low MF can save it. If you check out The List, you’ll see how the CX9 Touring AWD comes in at just a tad above the IS350 in terms of monthly payments. Which would you rather have?

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Lincoln MKS

Published by G

My Take: I did this more out of curiosity more than anything else. The MF is fairly low here and the residual is “so-so”. So what’s the problem? This car is way overpriced. Can you imagine a Lincoln MKS, STOCK, going for $40k? Yeah, I can’t either.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mercedez Benz C-Class

Published by G

My Take: I have yet to see a “solid” deal on a C-Class since I started this blog. Bone stock, the C300 Sport 4matic already costs nearly $500 a month + inception fees. Better deals can be had elsewhere right now if you ask me. Other sedans to consider are of course the A4, 328i, IS250 or the G35 sedan, soon to be G37 sedan.

September 2008 Lease Rate for 08/09 Honda Accord and 08 Civic Si

Published by G

My Take: It doesn’t look like Honda is providing any lease support at the moment. You can also see how Honda is discouraging 08 leases by bumping the MF to .00370 on the 24-month leases and using their standard .00270 lease rate for their 36-month leases. If you need me to work up a scenerio here, leave a comment with the terms you are interested in.
