2010-11 Acura Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/20 by G

So the 2011 TSX Sportwagon numbers are out and they are the same as the sedan!!! That’s refreshing! Glad they didn’t do what the Germans do with their wagons. The discounts could be better, but that should improve over time. For now, I’d rather drive a TL than a TSX Wagon. Anyway, remember that Acura lease rates are regional (with the Midwest usually getting screwed), so your MF will vary. I believe the MF for the TL in non-major markets is 0.00181. Ouch.

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 TL Base
MSRP – $36,165
Sale Price – $32,566
Monthly – $384+ tax
RWG Rating – 92.6

2011 TSX SportWagon
MSRP – $31,820
Sale Price – $30,532
Monthly – $387+ tax
RWG Rating – 84.2

2011 Jaguar Lease Rates – January 11

Published 2011/01/192012/01/10 by G

Yickes! How sad are these lease rates? Clearly Jags aren’t meant to be leased through their captive bank, as you can see in my calculations below. I can think of many cars at this price range that I’d much rather have too. However, if you absolutely must have a Jaguar XJ sedan, I would recommend buying it.

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 Jaguar XJ Sedan
MSRP – $73,575
Sale Price – $70,509
Monthly – $1093+ tax

2011 BMW Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/192011/03/29 by G

UPDATE: 1-series and 3-series lease rates have been added! Enjoy!

LeaseCompare didn’t post any info on the 1-series and 3-series on their Facebook page, so that’s what’s missing here. Nevertheless, there have been major changes to BMW lease rates (residuals AND money factors), so you should reconfirm these numbers with your dealer. The M3 convertible’s MF is so low (0.0009), it almost looks like a typo. While the M3 sedan’s 36-month residual jumped like 6% (but it’s MF went out as well). This is a bit unusual to see, but definitely not uncommon. BMWFS has been known to adjust residuals from time to time. Anyway, the M3 convertible looks like the winner in my eyes this month, so if you have been waiting for one, this seems like your lucky month.

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 M3 Convertible
MSRP – $69,625
Sale Price – $66,010

2011 Porsche Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/192012/01/10 by G

The Cayenne is probably not the most attractive lease out there right now, which explains the crummy RWG rating. The residual is okay, but the MF could use some dropping. In addition, a measly $1300 discount on a nearly $50,000 ride is just not enough to justify leasing one. I would recommend shopping for a more attractive lease loan or maybe using a brokers to see if they can beat the dealer price. Alternatively, you could always wait since it’s still early in the year.

On an unrelated note, how do you like the pic for this post? I believe it’s a pristine 1953 Porsche 356 Roadster. I’m not a huge classic cars guy, but I truly appreciate the uniqueness of something like this.

2011 Mercedes-Benz Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/192011/02/03 by G

Here’s a partial list of Mercedes-Benz lease rates. I’ll add more as they become available. Clearly last December was the better month to lease a C300. I believe the C300s are due for a mid-cycle refresh, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see prices drop as we approach summertime.

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 Mercedes C300 Sport
MSRP – $34,865

2011 Mazda Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/17 by G

Sorry gang, the Mazda forums have been a bit dry these past couple weeks so this is all I have managed to dig up. As a consolidation, I have sample payment calculations for both vehicles. The 3 and the CX9 look good this month. As long as your negotiated sale price is low, I think you should be able to manage a good deal.

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 Mazda3 i Sport
MSRP – $17,855
Sale Price – $16,576 (average paid assumed. Lowest price data not available)
Monthly – $181+ tax
RWG Rating – 95.67

2011 Ford Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/13 by G

My first impression on the Explorer’s numbers is that it isn’t half bad. I’ve seen much worse. However, getting a good deal here ultimately comes down to the final sale price, which is (at best) only a 4% discount from MSRP here in Southern California. Not very good if you ask me. I didn’t expect the Explorer to lease well since the Edge isn’t that much better. If Ford were to discount around 10% instead, I could see this being a better lease. Until that happens, I would recommend looking elsewhere for your next SUV.

2011 Hyundai Lease Rates – January 2011

Published 2011/01/112011/01/11 by G

I’m quite happy that Hyundai has actually been provided some great lease rates over the past year. I think its a smart move on their part since leasing is probably one of the quickest ways to get their cars out there on the road and get some of that coveted US market share. Over the nearly three years that I have been maintaining this blog, I have seen Hyundai go from a brand that folks didn’t trust (I’m was one of them) to a brand that people are actually looking to lease (I’m one of them as well). Quite the turn around if you ask me. There isn’t anything here I wouldn’t lease, so if you don’t mind getting into a Hyundai, any one of them will do. One thing that is disappointing is that according to TrueCar, sale prices have gone up about 3% lately. I was seeing 10% off MSRP in Nov/Dec. Now is around 6%-7%.
