DO NOT LEASE 09 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates for January 2009

MY TAKE: Here are the remaining Mercedes-Benz Lease Rates that I don’t recommend. Clearly, you can see why. The residual values are either terrible or the money factor is sky high. Then, you have a combination of both crap residuals and crap money factors. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you why I don’t recommended the following cars. Keep in mind that these recommendations do not reflect my personal feelings towards these rides. I won’t say no to a C63 AMG or a SLK55 AMG. All I am saying is that if you plan on getting into any of these rides, buy them, don’t lease them.

DO NOT LEASE – 09 Infiniti G37 Lease Rates for January 2009

MY TAKE: I started to find too many leases that got significantly worse so I felt that I probably needed to feature them individually since the “DO NOT LEASE” lease is getting WAY TOO LONG. As a result, I decided to start things off with the 09 Infiniti G37s. As much as I love these cars, I can’t find myself recommending them this month. The residual values are significantly lower than the 08 models, factor in the high money factors and you have a bad combination for a lease.

Quite hideous aren’t they? It is obvious that IFS is trying to steer us clear from the 24 month leases, but the 36 month leses aren’t look all that great either. I’m just glad I pulled the trigger when I did because last May/June’s rates were probably the lowest rates you will ever see for the G37s.

09 Acura TL Lease Rates for January 2009

My Take: In case you weren’t paying attention in the past couple of months, the 2009 TL now starts at a whopping $35.7k after delivery fees. That’s a markup of about $1300 from the outgoing model. Sick, isn’t it? Anyway, the residual are still strong on the TL, that’s the good news. The not so great news is that the money factor is still high, hitting you at around 6% APR. TMV suggest around $500 over invoice pricing, so thats not too bad. There’s also $500 dealer cash available, so be sure to have your dealer share that with you.

09 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates for January 2009

My Take: I thought I’d share a funny little thing I noticed while looking over the prices of the C300 Sport sedan. The 2008 C300 Sport’s base price starts at $31,600 while the 2009 C300 Sport’s base price starts at $32,900. From what I understand, nothing’s changed between the two model years, at least, nothing immediately noticeable. It just fascinates me how manufacturers keep bumping up the price tag every year (and I’m not even counting destination fees here). At this rate, the C-Class will cost about $40k base price by 2015. So much for “entry-level” luxury sedan. LOL. Anyway, the rates look slightly better than December 2008 thanks to a lower money factor and only a small 2% drop on residual. As for the rest of the Mercs, I’m very surprised to see the GL, ML, R and SLKs showing decent lease rates in January. Heck, I’m surprised to see any lease support at all coming from these guys.

09 Honda Pilot Lease Rates for January 2009

My Take: Edmund’s TMV suggests the Pilot can be had for around $776 under invoice price (on the EX AWD model), I am willing to bet that that number also applies to the other trims as well (there is around $1500 dealer cash available). This is probably the one and only reason why I didn’t put this SUV into the DO NOT LEASE list. The residual value is quite terrible, but the MF is decent, allowing this SUV to make the cut. Keep in mind I didn’t factor in the dealer cash on my calculations, which means you can probably go lower than my lower calculated price. If you don’t need 15k miles per year (I normally don’t), you can get a 2% residual increase, shaving off another $15-$20 off your monthly payment on your 36-month lease. Good stuff huh?

08/09 Lexus IS Lease Rates for January 2009

My Take: The IS is a very borderline “DO NOT LEASE” candidate right now. The residual values have tanked in the past 6 months, even on the 2009 models. It looks like LFS has tried to keep their residual values more realistic. This doesn’t bode well for us because cheap leases rely heavily on “inflated” residual values (more so than low money factors) to keep the payments low. I’m hoping Lexus keeps these residuals until February and drop the money factor significantly. That should save you a few grand in the long run. That 328i is looking mighty good right about now.

09 Honda Accord Lease Rates for January 2009

My Take: Doesn’t seem Honda is providing much support on the Accord this month. The positive news is that despite the high money factor, the residual value of the Accord is still high enough to make this lease relatively reasonable. There is also $1000 dealer cash available, so remember that during your negotiations. Lastly, Edmund’s TMV suggests a sale price of $364 below invoice on the EX V6, so keep that in mind as well. Remember, stick to the 36 month lease because Honda only offers bumper-to-bumper warranty for up to 3 years. I love Honda’s leasing program because it always includes GAP coverage, $1500 damage waiver and no disposition fees. Same goes with Acura leases.

January 2009 DO NOT LEASE List

UPDATED January 23rd, 2009 – Here’s January 2009’s DO NOT LEASE list. My initial observation for this January 09 is that most cars are leasing WORSE than last year. This is clearly directly affected by the credit crunch and the poor economic conditions the world is facing. It is likely that automakers may be cutting back on their lease promotions, so don’t be too surprised to see this list grow as the months progress. What qualifies a car on this list? Simple, the residual value needs to be dip well below 50% over 36 months, the money factor needs to be higher than .00200 or 4.8% APR and cash rebates are either nonexistant or only available to a select few. Check this list often because I will be adding more models as I encounter more and more crappy lease rates.

2009 Infiniti M35

2009 Infiniti M35
24 Month – Residual 48% of MSRP – .00325 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 46% of MSRP – .00053 Base Rate
