2010 BMW 1-Series Lease Rates – December 2009

Published 2009/12/072009/12/07 by G

logo_bmw My Take: Same lease rates as November, no surprise there. Rebates are still in effect until 1/4/2010 so be sure to take advantage of them. Lastly, just a reminder…the best deals are usually cut during the last week of the month. Hopefully you can wait it out.

logo_bmw My Take: More of the same from last month. The $2500 holiday lease cash is still around through January 4th, 2010. Again, if you can wait until the latter part of the month, you may have better luck with your negotiations.

2010 BMW 3-Series Lease Rates – December 2009

Published 2009/12/042009/12/07 by G

logo_bmw My Take: December numbers are pretty much the same as November, so nothing too exciting to report. $1500 or $2500 are also still available (thru January 4th, 2010) depending which trim you select. During our recent test drive, the wife really enjoyed the performance and handling of the 328i. No doubt, BMW makes excellent driving machines.

A “little bird” told me that BMW sometimes will introduce last minute cash towards the latter part of this month. This is generally to spur some last minute sales during the Holiday Season. The key word here is SOMETIMES. Just an FYI in case you are shopping for a BMW this winter.

2009 BMW 3-Series

2010 Acura TSX, TL Lease Rates – December 2009

Published 2009/12/032009/12/04 by G

logo_acura My Take: ~~For those who missed out on the TSX V6’s $1500, I’m sorry to say, it’s gone. Expect the payments to jump over $40 per month at this point.~~ The $1500 rebate for the V6 has been extended until January 4th!!!! Get on it!!!! This is probably one of the best deals around. I have driven the V6 and I have to say, it is far superior to the 4cyl. The lease rates for the TL and TSX remain unchanged from November and will run through the remainder of the year (and probably a few days into the New Year). Word of caution, Acura money factors do vary from region to region, so if you are getting the crappy 0.00201 MF, that’s pretty much all you are going to get. When in doubt, always crosscheck with other dealers to make sure you are getting the right MF.

One last note I’d like to point out for those who wonder why cars with Tech packages have a lower residual value. Based on my conversation with my Acura dealer, cars with Navi/Tech packages do not hold value well in the long run. The Navi, for example, costs about $2000 in a new car, but it’s only worth no more $300 after three years when appraised as a trade-in or in auction. Tech, Navi, RES packages are really meant for folks who keep their cars and don’t mind the depreciation because they don’t plan to sell the car or return it. General rule of thumb, if you want to save money, lease base models and get a portable Navi. They are dirt cheap anyway and some, like the Garmin Nuvi 755 (referral), come with FREE lifetime traffic subscription. I think Costco has the 755 for $199 (plus tax) right now, which is slightly cheaper than from Amazon.

2010 Acura RDX, TL, TSX Lease Rates – November 2009

Published 2009/11/212009/11/21 by G

logo_acura UPDATE: There is the $1500 cash rebate for the Base TSX V6 and $2000 TSX V6 with Tech that’s expiring 11/30/2009. I just got a quote today from my dealer Jerry (In Torrance, CA) for the 2010 TSX V6 Base for $1100 due at signing and $409 per month. That includes 9.75% sales tax for LA county. Smoking hot deal if you ask me. $1800 below invoice with the rebate. 2010 V6s are built in VERY limited quantity, so don’t bother asking me if the deal is going to be better in Dec or not; If you like it now, and can do it now, DO IT!

My Take: No cash on the RDX and TL, but the TSX V6 is getting $1500 cash for the base and $2000 for the Tech. The residuals dropped 1% on the 4 cyl model, while the V6 took a 2% hit. The good news is that the money factors dropped too, so it should keep the monthly payments around the same ballpark as last month. I personally like the older TSX, so I think the new one is probably just as good. I haven’t driven the new ones yet, but the V6 looks real tempting.

2010 Mazda CX-7, CX-9 Lease Rates – November 2009

Published 2009/11/18 by G

logo_mazda My Take: Wow, the residual values are SO ugly on the CX-7, its really a good thing the MF are low. The CX-9 is a bit better, but not by too much. Overall, I think this is one of those “Lease to Buy” candidates since the MF hovers around 1% APR. The best you can do financing a purchase is 0% for 36 months, which most people can’t afford to do. For the longer 60 month term, the interest rate jumps to 2.9%.

Mazda is also offering loyalty cash, here are the details:

$1,000 Owner Loyalty Cash toward 2009 MAZDA6 or CX-9
$500 Owner Loyalty Cash toward 2010 MAZDA3, MAZDA6, or CX-9

More fine print…

Mazda Owner Loyalty Cash Program $1,000 is good toward a new 2009 MAZDA6 or 2009 CX-9. Mazda Owner Loyalty Cash Program $500 is good toward a new 2010 MAZDA3, 2010 MAZDA6 or 2010 CX-9. Excludes MAZDASPEED3. The Mazda Owner Loyalty Cash Program CANNOT be combined with other private offers but CAN be combined with other public purchase incentives including but not limited to customer cash back, lease and APR incentives/offers. The offer is transferable within household, must live at the same address. Present dealer with proof of ownership (copy of vehicle registration or title) at time of purchase. Offer expires January 04, 2010.

2009/2010 Lexus RX, IS Lease Rates – November 2009

Published 2009/11/172009/11/17 by G

logo_lexus My Take: A bit low on the IS numbers this month, but this should give you an idea of what Lexus’ “December to Remember” promo looks like. Not exactly memorable, but then again, they could be providing some rebates that I am not fully aware of. I say this because I’m not seeing anything official on Edmunds other than the 2.9% financing for 60 months. Expect lease rates to carry over through early January. This is probably going to be the case for most automakers.
