08/09 Mazda CX-9 Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/18 by G

My Take: If you are shopping for a 7-passenger SUV and you are considering the CX-9, be aware that the 08 model will actually cost you more than the 09 model eventhough the sell price is lower. That’s thanks to a 5% lower residual value on the 08 vs the 09, so keep that in mind when you email your dealer. Also, be aware of the $1000 loyalty cash available to you if you are a previous Mazda owner. If you are looking to buy, there is 0% financing for up to 60 months on the 08 CX-9 and 1.9% APR on the 09 model for up to 60 months (0% for up to 36 months).

09 Acura TL and TSX Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/172008/12/17 by G

My Take: Acura has improved their 2009 TL lease but that’s not the case on the TSX. You will see a significant drop on the monthly payments from Nov to Dec ($40-$50) due to the lower money factor. Is invoice price a reasonable sale price? I’m inclined to say yes on both the TL and the TSX. Personally, this is around what I feel the TL should lease for ($350-$400 range). As for the TSX? Nothing’s really changed other than the fact that you can negotiate a lower sale price. There is financing for 0% for up to 36 months and 2.9% for up to 60 months.

09 Mazda Mazda6 Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/17 by G

My Take: Mazda’s in general are not known for their high “residual values”. So don’t expect to see any more than high 40s to 50s for 36 month leases. Even their popular Mazda3 model seems to hover around the same range. What is important to note is that Mazda is known for cash rebates and low APR incentives. There is a special 2.9% for up to 60 months financing deal going on, $500 loyalty cash, and a lease deal that involves $850 lease cash and $750 dealer contribution on the i Sport model.

09 Lexus GS Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/162008/12/16 by G

My Take: The GS’s money factor isn’t too horrible this month, although I would have liked a higher residual value for a 2009 model. Nevertheless, if you can negotiate a lower sale price, you might be able to save yourself a good chunk of change. Just remember that for every $1000 you knock off the sale price, you save about $30 per month on a 36-month lease.

09 Volkswagen CC Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/162008/12/16 by G

My Take: In all honesty, I know nothing about the “new” CC other than the fact that it’s basically the new name for the Passat. I kind of fell off the VW wagon after my disappointment with their 1.8T engine. I was nearly stranded about 30 miles from home when one of their “coil packs” decided to “blow”. That effectively left my car with 3 cylinders…try driving THAT 25 miles on the freeway. Anyway, the 2.0T engines are far superior, but I am still a bit skeptical when it comes to anything with such small displacement. Lease-wise, there is a special going on right now at VW where the dealer pitches in $866.60 to lower the cap cost of the vehicle and you get to lease the car for around $359. The catch is that you gotta put down like $2700. Silly isn’t it? The better deal would be to ask the dealer to give you the car for invoice and just pay inceptions fees and 1st payment, which should run you about $1200 and $354 + tax per month (see below).

08/09 Infiniti G37 Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/152008/12/15 by G

My Take: The 09 G37 is still leasing for a good chunk of change, so you are actually better off leasing the 08 model instead. As for the sedan, I still think that waiting until January/February might be a good idea because their rates are still a bit on the high end. Infiniti is trying to discourage lesses from going with the 24-month lease on the sedan (there’s only a 1% drop from 24 to 36 monoth leases and a significant bump in money factor) so stay away from those. I always felt the 36-month leases were ideal anyway so you really shouldn’t consider 24-month unless they are cheaper or just as much as the 36-month leases.

UPDATE: Word is that the $395 disposition fee will return January 6th, 2009 on all Infiniti Leases. It is a somewhat of a big deal if you intend to keep the car for the entire length of your lease.

09 Lexus RX350 Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/122009/04/10 by G

My Take: RX350 is looks pretty good for a 08 model. The residual is still much higher than expected and the residual has dropped a bit (sitting at around 2% APR). Fairly competitive with financing deals going on right now. Leasing an SUV is not a bad idea if you consider the fact that the residual values are fixed for the duration of your lease. If gas prices go up, you don’t have to worry about your SUV losing its value because it you can just return it at the end of the lease! Isn’t that great? If gas prices stay low, then driving a SUV won’t hurt as much. Looks like a win-win situation to me. Another thing to note…even though the RX seems to be cheaper to lease than the RDX, the RDX has cash rebates (which will lower the price significantly) and it comes pretty well equipped as a base model. That’s not the case with the RX350. Of course, the RDX is a 4-cyl Turbo, while the RX350 is a V6. If you don’t like the raspy-ness of a 4cyl Turbo, then the RX is probably what you want.

09 Acura RDX Lease Rates for December 2008

Published 2008/12/102008/12/11 by G

My Take: RDX is looking the same as last month. There are some incentives available to sweeten the deal (HERE). A cool $1500 marketing cash and another $1500 mfg to dealer cash. That’s $3000 worth in discounts! Worth a look if you need a compact crossover with luxury features. Personally, I love how Honda/Acura keeps the car leasing/purchasing decision simple. They don’t overload you with options and features. You get the base model and one with Tech. Easy as pie.
