09 VW Tiguan Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/132009/02/20 by G

My Take: The “special” financing rates for the Tiguan aren’t really that special to be honest with you (5.9% for 60 months). Leasing might be the better alternative for this month since the money factor (3.1%) is lower than the lowest loan APR available (3.9%). There is a $1000 rebate from the mfg direct to the customers and another $500 in loyalty cash. Both of them available for leasing, so be sure to take that into consideration when you do your negotiations. The residual value is a bit low, but I think the cash does a good job offsetting that. Remember that non-luxury brand’s warranties usually go up to 36 months (with a few exceptions of course), so don’t lease past that term.

DO NOT LEASE

Nothing here. Although I’m very tempted to move the Tiguan into the “do not lease” list just because of the lame residual values.

MY TAKE: Don’t lease, buy…if you can afford it. Seriously, what CAN I SAY? These numbers are as bad as most leases financed through Ford Credit’s.

DO NOT LEASE 09 Nissan 370Z Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/122009/03/17 by G

MY TAKE: As much as I love this car, I can’t find myself recommending it as a lease. Just look at the money factor! Insane! I consider money factors above .00250 to be really high as is, but 0.00335??? No Way, Jose! Leasecompare’s lowest money factor this month is .00301, which is slight lower than Nissan’s. I’m not too sure what their residual value is since they don’t post them anymore. I took the liberty to take out lease rates that go beyond 36 months on this post. Nissan’s warranty only covers you for up to 36-months, so I don’t recommend leasing a car past it’s warranty period. I did it once, never again. One of the scariest leasing experiences ever!!!

09 Infiniti FX/EX Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/122009/02/12 by G

My Take: There is $3000 Marketing Cash available for the FX and another $2000 loyalty cash. Of course, you can’t combine that with the special financing that’s available (1.9% 36 months, 2.9% 48 months, 3.9% 60 months). Remember the amount of marketing cash you get is usually distributed at dealer’s discretion, but you can qualify for the entire loyalty cash if you qualify. Generally, most dealers will not give you the entire $3000 unless you are paying cash for the car. Just imagine if you qualify for both and are paying cash! You are guarantee at least $5000 off just from the manufacturer alone! The EX is still on the 2008 model year, so you can see why the residuals are so low. The money factor is practically nonexistant so I would certainly jump on this lease. Heck, you might even consider leasing this car even if you plan on buying the car. There is $5000 marketing cash here and another $500 sell down cash (compatible with special financing, 0.9% for 72 months) for both purchases and leases. Another thing you may want to consider is leasing for 48 months. The payments on some of the models are lower than the 36-month and your car will still be under warranty. The only thing you need to watch out for are the wear-n-tear costs. Because your lease runs longer, more stuff may need to be replaced.

DO NOT LEASE

Some of these leases are “border-line” DO NOT LEASE due to the low residual. But I think that in general, you’ll do fine leasing any of these models.

09 Lexus IS Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/11 by G

My Take: Question for the masses…Would you rather have an IS350 for $557 (assuming a $1000 under invoice sale price) a month for 48 months? OR would you rather have a C350 for $462 per month (assuming a $1000 under invoice sale price), also for 48 months? If your answer is C350, click here. Otherwise, if you want to go with the lower end IS250, this is not a bad car to lease right now. $400-ish will get you a IS250 that’s well equipped, just pay your inception fees upfront and you got it. OR you can always go with the Acura TSX which will probably come better equipped, for less.

			At Invoice		At MSRP

09 MINI Cooper Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/11 by G

My Take: MINI Cooper, how I love thee! This is one ride I hope keeps leasing well forever. This is probably the one and only ride that keeps its value so well, any money factor still makes this ride a good deal. The residual dropped .0001 from last month. Not astronomical, but it only makes the lease cheaper. So if you leased the MINI last month, don’t feel bad, it isn’t that much different this month, just about 20 bucks on a 36-month lease. Remember to watch out for your addon options. Get too carried away and you’ll be paying more than $400 a month for one these puppies.

			At Invoice		At MSRP
Make/Model	Invoice	MSRP	24-month	36-month	24-month	36-month

Nope, none here, I can’t recommend this ride enough if it fits your needs. The only thing you should watch out for is the “padded” money factors the dealers like to quote.

09 Acura TSX Lease Rates for February 2009

Published 2009/02/112009/09/04 by G

My Take: I would really like to see the TSX’s money factor drop some more in March, maybe below .00200. The TSX I leased in May 2007 went for under $300 before taxes with just $750 due at signing, so I think the TSX can do much better as the year progresses. The question is, will it? Not too sure since in January the TSX actually posted a gain in sales, shockingly enough. In any case, you can either sit tight or jump into it right now. Either way, the TSX is still a pretty good lease due to it’s high residual value. TMV suggest almost $3000 off MSRP, that means this car is probably going for invoice or a bit below it. Edmunds didn’t publish the invoice price on the 09 TSX, so I just had to use th TMV, which is not a bad price if you ask me. Can you go lower? Its very possible.

			At Invoice		At MSRP
Make/Model	Invoice	MSRP	24-month	36-month	24-month	36-month
09 Acura TSX Base	$27,091**	$29,920	$411	$358	$536	$444

** Edmund’s TMV Suggested Price

NOTE: Estimates assuming the following conditions:

Nothing here, the money factors are bit high, but I think the residual values more than make up for it.

MY TAKE: Need I say anything? Really? If you’ve been following my site or leasing in general, you know this is a bad deal. Please give leasecompare.com a try if you REALLY want the XC70/XC90. You will more than likely find better rates from their affiliated banks.
