Update: I just came across a news paper advertisement stating that “no security deposit” is needed to lease a 3-series. That is great news because more often than not, you need a security deposit to secure the base rate. This is a good month for a 3-series! the offer expires August 31st! So don’t sleep on this if you are in the market for a 3-series.
My Take: Some of the 3-series money factors droppped this month, making the lease significantly cheaper. Not too much of a surprise there since the 3-series is their top selling model, so discounts usually happen on that lineup. The rest of the BMW line up’s lease rates have remained the same. If you need help with payment estimates, be sure to provide the necessary information in your comments (i.e. MSRP, Sale price, sales tax and any fees your dealer is charging). This information is crucial in order to get an accurate estimate so be sure to get that from your dealer.

2010/2011 BMW Incentives
Lease rates provided by LeaseCompare.com
My Take: As I was saying earlier on the Honda post, this month’s numbers should be the same as last months. As we near the end of the 2010 model year now, you will start having difficulty finding the car you want because production has already ended. You may be forced to take on a 2011 model, which will more than likely be more expensive to lease in it’s first few months of introduction. I recommend shopping a few months before the end of your lease or finding a way to weather the “mark-up” months when new models first arrive in showrooms.
My Take: Wow, yet another lease rate that hasn’t changed in August! This is awesome. The Maxima was a great deal last month and it looks like it will continue being a good deal this month. Rebates should still be in full-effect, so take advantage of them!!
Update: Like many manufacturers, Honda numbers don’t seem to have changed from July. I am also suspecting that their Acura cousins’ rates are probably the same as last month as well. That’s good news for me because it saves me a lot of work. Haahaa. That’s also good news for you since the numbers aren’t half back. Availability of the 2010 models might be a bit scarce, but if you get lucky, I think you can swing a good deal. Last month, the Accord made Top Ten on the Round-Up so expect more of the same this month.
My Take: I’ve had a tough time confirming some of the Lexus numbers so I will go out on a limb here and assume they are the same as last month. The first three listed here are confirmed and it looks like LFS didn’t change the August numbers from July, so I think it’s safe to say that you can plug in July’s numbers and run with it. As usual, drop me a line if you need help calculating payments.
My Take: Looks like the July numbers have carried over into August, so don’t expect to pay anymore than you did last month. The loyalty and conquest cash is still there to be had until 9/30/2010. It’s looking like the G37 Sport (manual transmission) models are going to top this month’s 
My Take: Looks like the numbers from July carried over to August. This is good news because last month, the Sonata was one of the Top Ten leases on my Monthly Round-Up. Which means that this month, it should be on the list too. On a personal note, I would personally hold out a bit longer until the Turbo 4 and Hybrid trims roll out. However, if you can live with a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder, this isn’t a bad car to get into if your budget is small.
My Take: Looks like MB decided to drop their money factors on some of the 2011 Cs this month. That’s great news for those who stuck it out until this month. I think the rates could use some more dropping before taking the plunge though. I know you always run the runs of losing residual value, but I think the MF could use some dropping. MBZ is also known to throw cash rebates at their cars during holiday seasons, so I think we might see something sweet this coming Winter. Of course, this is all speculation, so don’t flame me if I am wrong. But do praise me if I am right!!
