2013 Nissan Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

Not a lot in terms of change here. Expected residual losses and that’s about it. I haven’t been overly impressed with much of Nissan’s lineup this year. The Pathfinder was nice, but under-equipped and over priced. Any automaker that doesn’t give you Bluetooth standard should consider doing so sooner or later. Come on! Honda’s making backup cameras standard and you can’t even make BT standard? Nissan needs to bring it’s A-game if you ask me.

2013 Lexus Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

Lexus changed numbers this month. Residuals dropped for most vehicles, but the interesting thing is how LFS bumped the MFs on their IS line. It doesn’t make any sense because a newly redesign IS is in the horizon so don’t they want to move as many of these units as possible? Anyway, the one notable rate change is on the CT200h. The residual is still high, but the MF got dropped down to the cellar (0.00001). I wonder why? Is the CT just not moving at all? One has to wonder…

2013 Volkswagen Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

GTI and Touareg residuals dropped this month, the rest of the lineup looks the same as March. Surprisingly, the GTI and Touareg got a MF bump, so which I find a bit confusing because that pretty much makes it more expensive to lease than last month. My guess is that those two models are probably selling for less than before (in order to keep the payments around the same ballpark as before) because I am not seeing any lease cash according to Edmunds.

2013 Acura Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

YES! Acura rates look way better this month than they did last. Residuals stayed the same but MFs dropped across the board. Not a bad time to lease an Acura right now. I am almost tempted to kill off my Hyundai Sonata lease and get into something else this weekend, before paying my final DMV registration for that stupid car.

2013 Hyundai Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

April numbers have mainly improved for most Hyundai models. I’m seeing very significant residual value increases across the board. Some models did get a bump in money factor, but a big number of them actually got a mf reduction as well. That typically means lower monthly payments compared to last month.

2013 Audi Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

Nothing too crazy this month. Audi dropped residuals by about 1% to 2% for most models. Those getting a 2% drop get a more significant MF reduction than those with a 1% loss in residual.
Make sure to check Edmunds to see what incentives may apply to you this month.

2013 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates – April 2013

Published by G

One thing is certain, MB rates have changes from March to April. The tough part is trying to gauge whether this month is better than the last. If I had to summarize the month, I would have to say that it’s good for some but bad for others. I’m seeing RES increases for some models, but drops in others. The same goes for the MF. I guess a “good deal” will really depend on which model you are aiming for. The one clear winner I’m seeing so far is the 2013 Mercedes SLK250 Convertible. It gets a 2% residual bump and no MF increase from last month. Others have either stayed the same, dropped in RES or increased in MF.
