2011-12 BMW Lease Rates – September 2011

Published by G

In case you were wondering, BMW has not extended their 24mo Z4 lease. That’s a big disappointment since that was one of the best leases around for a 2-seat convertible. Fortunately, not all hope is lost! The M3 coupe and the 328 Wagon aren’t half bad. They have very good residual values and decent money factor. The discounts aren’t spectacular, but it’s good enough to make the lease reasonable. If you qualify for the loyalty reduction, you’d be looking at a very good deal.

There are drops in residual on many models which is disappointing. Money factors have really dropped much (if any), so that makes deals a bit more expensive. Remember the Team USA credit should still be in play (if you did the test drive) and if you are returning BMW customer, you should still qualify for the loyalty MF reduction or $1000 credit.


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.

2011 BMW 328i Wagon
MSRP – $38,025

2011 Lexus Lease Rates – September 2011

Published by G

Lexus lease numbers still don’t look great, because esiduals have tanked and the MF has only dropped slightly. However, since we are nearing the end of the 2011 model year, you should expect sizable discounts. Take the IS250 for example, TrueCar indicates that So.Cal. prices are about 11% off MSRP. That’s VERY good because the residual is still good an the MF is reasonable.
If you are in the military, you should qualify for the $750 incentive that’s available through March 31st, 2012. Yes, that’s next year.


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.

2011 Lexus IS250 AT Sedan

2011 Land Rover Lease Rates – September 2011

Published by G

The Land Rover lease rates leave a lot to be desired this month. The discounts are simply not there for a vehicle in this price range. The MF is nice on the LR4, but the residual is a deal-killer. Unless you can get 10% off the MSRP. I really don’t think leasing a LR makes sense. The only bright spot here that I can see is the Range Rover Sport HSE. It has high residual that helps offset the MF. There’s also lease cash on it, which helps keep the sale price down. However, I still don’t think it’s worth leasing unless you can get closer to 10% off MSRP. In So. Cal. TrueCar is indicating about 5% off MSRP with the lease cash. That’s not a lot for a ride at this price.


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.

2011 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT HSE

2011-12 Volkswagen Lease Rates – September 2011

Published by G

Of all 2012 VW lease rates this month. Only the Passat shows a lot of promise ($1000 lease cash available and a good MF/RV). The CC isn’t half bad either because of the $1250 lease cash that’s available, but it’s RV and MF aren’t as good. Some good deals to be head, however, I should warn you…More and more people are reporting that VW will charge “market value” on payoffs if you try to trade-in the car before lease end. With that in mind, you better be willing to keep the car for the entire term of your lease or you will end up paying a pretty penny trying to get off your lease.

2012 Audi Lease Rates – September 2011

Published by G

No good deals can be had on the 2012 Audis this month. If you are looking to lease one, expect to have a subpar deal. As I have pointed out in the past. The only way to get a good deal is to have a low sale price, high residual and low money factor. Sometimes, if the sale price is low enough, it can offset poor residual values or high money factors.

If you don’t see what you are looking for, contact your local dealer for more information.

2011-12 Mercedes-Benz Lease Rates – August 2011

Published by G


Few highlights for the month of August…MB lease rates are not too different from last month. A few drops in residuals, but money factors remain steady. 33-month leases, which are not listed on the site which I do not have, carry a significantly higher residual value compared to the 36-month terms. In my opinion, MBs lease best at 48-months, so typically do not recommend anything shorter than that. However, from time to time, there will be some exceptions.

For those seeking a C300, it looks like MB has dropped the sale price of these cars significantly. SoCal market is showing 11% off MSRP on the C300 Sport. New C-Class models are set to be introduced for MY 2012 so this could be a move to clear some inventory.

2011-12 Hyundai Lease Rates – August 2011

Published by G


As the 2012 models start rolling out, I am thinking the 2011 are probably better deals. Just look at the 2012 residuals and money factors! Not very good. The Genesis is looking rather expensive. The 2012 Sonatas don’t look that great either (disappointing). The Elantra is okay, but not a lot of discounts to be had. It can be leased, but just barely (see below for sample calculation). It’s starting to look like the recent company success got to their heads and they are trying to capitalize on it. Can’t blame them, but I think the deals were better earlier in the year.


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 Elantra GLS AT
MSRP – $18,205
Sale Price – $17,909
Monthly – $213+ tax
RWG Rating – 86.4

2012 Sonata Limited
MSRP – $29,545
Sale Price – $27,358
Monthly – $369+ tax
RWG Rating – 82.8
