2012-13 Acura Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/12 by G

ILX Premium lease numbers are out and it boasts a nice 60% residual. TrueCar market data indicates that most ILXs are selling for about MSRP…some slightly over. Not too surprised there. Either way, I’d wait it out a bit until prices drop a notch. The TSX and the TL should still lease fairly well this month so not all is lost. Remember that new model usually come at a premium so if you want to have the newest and shiniest toy in your block, expect to pay for it.

Below I have a sample calculation on the TL. The assumption is that you are getting the car at around dealer cost. There is $2000 in dealer cash and you may also qualify for either the $1000 conquest or loyalty cash. They look like they can be combined so I recommend tapping into that. If you can swing this, you could end up with a pretty nice ride for a reasonable payment.

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

2012-13 Volvo Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/12 by G

Same as last month, but incentives are sweeter. Volvo will pay your first two payments (up to $450) in addition to all incentives that carry over from last month (see below). From what I am being told, some dealers will apply the two payments as a $900 deduction off the sale price of the car, so you can get either loyalty or conquest plus an additional $900. Not too shabby considering how good the lease rates look.

$1000 Loyalty on all Volvos
$1000 Conquest on S60 and XC-60
$500 Dealer Cash on C70 and S80
All compatible with leases

Things just got way nicer for the S60 this month. If you were waiting to lease a S60, your wait is over.

Thanks Rman for forwarding this info my way.

2012-13 Infiniti Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/11 by G

FX models have a MF reduction this month. EX models nearing end of model year so expect the 2013 model to arrive soon (EX will be upped from 35 to 37. Same goes for the G37, as a matter of fact, you might be looking at another two or three months before the 2013s come out. The 2013 G37 model will be the last of this design cycle, since a brand new design will be out for the 2014 model year. The rates look fantastic right now so if you like how the G looks like, its time to lease one. The G25 is being phased out for 2013.

In my estimate below, I would recommend settling at around 13-14% off MSRP but pushing for more initially. The interest charge on this car is so low, it really is a great time lease a G37.

2012-13 Audi Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/112012/06/11 by G

Got RS5 numbers this month. 2013 A4/A5/S5 numbers replace 2012 A4 numbers. Surprisingly enough, both 2012 and 2013 models are getting loyalty cash rebates this month. Not a lot of sales data available on the 2013 models since they just came out, so I was very tempted to go with factory invoice minus loyalty cash. However, this may be unrealistic since this is a 2013, so I decided to go with $500 over invoice (ala BMW) minus loyalty cash. Not pretty, but I think the attractiveness (or lack thereof) of this deal is mainly due to the weak residual (for a 2013 model) and somewhat higher MF. Of course, the sale price could use some discounting too, but it’s brand spanking new so don’t expect too much in of a break there.

2012 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/102012/06/10 by G

At quick glance, I am not seeing any changes from last month’s numbers. Looking at the C250 couple, it seems sale prices have come down a tad. I’m not seeing any incentives on the coupe, but the sedan has some loyalty cash. The GL seems to be getting some nice discounts too if you are in the market for something that size. I recommend flipping back to May’s comments and read through what others have gotten last month. Chances are, they still apply this month.

2012 BMW Lease Rates – June 2012

Published 2012/06/102012/06/10 by G

I am not seeing any noteworthy changes this month. If you were using last month’s numbers to estimate your payments, congratulations, you weren’t far off. Incentives from last month should remain for most models as well.

On the 328i, TrueCar indicates that most people are playing no more than $500 over invoice. That would be the target price I would recommend. Ideally, I’d shoot for lower and go no higher than $500 over invoice.

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.
