My Take: My wife decided that her favorite MB is the CL. She bounced around between the CLS and the CL, but in the end, she thought the styling of the CL was more appealing to her. That’s rather strange considering she doesn’t like 2-door vehicles. LOL. Anyway, some minor changes on the lease rates here, but for the most part, the same. The CLS550 gets s drop in money factor and that’s about it. Word of advice, anything that has a 0.00200 MF or higher and low residual should be avoided.

My Take: A bit low on the Genesis numbers, so I will update as I find them. Overall, you can get a pretty good feel for where the rates stand. I think there’s still a $1000 rebate on the coupes out there, so take advantage of that. I’m starting to see a lot of coupes out there so people must like them. I know my wife likes it better than my G37, grrr… LOL.
My Take: Here’s a little flood of Honda lease rates. Couple of things stand out here for me; The low MF and high RV of the Accord and Insight. Back up a few months ago, the Insight’s MF where in the 0.00200+ range or 4.8% APR and up. Not so this month. The Insight is a poor-man’s(or woman’s) Prius, in my opinion. That’s not to say its bad, it’s just less techy that the Prius. From a financing perspective, I think this is a really cheap car. Based on my estimates, if you can get invoice on it (doubtful but always worth a try), you can get a EX with Navi for 36m/12k for around $260 per month, with your inception fees due at signing. Tack on taxes and roll in the bank fee and you are looking at low $300s. You know, I am tempted to just get one and let the wife go crazy with it. She’ll probably appreciate not having to pay $40+ per week on gas.
My Take: Same as last month. Nothing much to say other than make sure to not negotiate a low sale price. Audi is currently waiving security deposits, so that should save some money upfront. Oh, don’t forget the AudiCare!
My Take: Ditto, ditto, ditto. Just trying to plow through all the BMW lease rates, so here they are. Just a small FYI regarding rebates. The higher the price tag of the car, the less of a deal the rebates provide. A lower MF is ALWAYS preferable when you are talking about cars north of $40,000. I personally think the rebates work best on the 1-series and 3-series.
