2011 Hyundai Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/182011/02/18 by G

Elantra lease rates added!

Word is that Hyundai kept their lease program the same for February. So you get another do-over in case you missed out last month. The Sonata is a very good deal right now. In some markets, you can get upwards of 10% off MSRP. I’m showing about 6% on the Sonata SE Turbo in my neck of the woods (7% on the Limited Turbo). Out East last month, Joe02 managed to get a better discount on the Limited Turbo. Lucky!

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 Sonata SE Turbo
MSRP – $25,095
Sale Price – $23,652
Monthly – $264+ tax

2011 Ford Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/182011/02/18 by G

Looks like Ford’s Explorer has decent lease rates this month. The residual is fair and so is the money factor (on the XLT model). The challenge would be getting dealers to discount the car enough so that the payments fall within a reasonable range. A few things to note on the Explorer. There are a lot of cash rebates available, but not all will qualify. The $1000 cash incentive being promoted right now is not applicable to lessees. However, if you currently own or lease a 1995 or newer Explorer, Sport Trac, Freestyle, Taurus X or Mountaineer, you get a whopping $1500 bucks toward the lease of a new Explorer. There are other rebates that can be found by going to Edmunds.com.

As you can see in my calculations, the Explorer still needs a little work. The rates are okay, but the discounts are still lacking. I think the deal would be much better if you qualify for any of Ford’s rebates.

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 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD
MSRP – $33,995
Sale Price – $32,213 ($1000 rebate not applicable to leases)
Monthly – $409+ tax
RWG Rating – 85.7

2011-12 Volvo Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/17 by G

There has been a slight improvement with Volvos this month! Here’s the skinny…The 2011 S60s have $2000 dealer cash, and the 2011 S80s have $1000 dealer cash. There is also $1000 loyalty cash available on all vehicles towards leases. The Volvo base acquisition fee is $695.

The 2011 S60 looks like a winner this month. It has a solid residual and an acceptable money factor. The discounts are deep since the 2012 model is already out. Without factoring the loyalty cash, I am already getting a 91.4 rating. This would make the S60 the first Volvo to get an honorable mention on this month’s Round Up. Talk about historic! See sample calculation below.

2011 Audi Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/142011/02/23 by G

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Audi hasn’t changed their lease rates either, so if you were using last months numbers to calculate your payments, your estimates should still be the same.
Like I said last month, I’m still liking the A3. The money factor is just so low, it’s almost an interest-free loan. The sale prices have come down in my area (9% off MSRP), so even though the lease rates remain the same, the deal has improved compared to January. LeaseCompare is still providing a lost of fleet discounts, so if you can’t find a good deal on an Audi, you might want to give them a shot.

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 Audi A3 S-tronic Frontrak Premium
MSRP – $28,145
Sale Price – $25,721
Monthly – $307+ tax

2011 BMW Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/102011/02/10 by G

For the most part, BMW’s February lease rates remain unchanged. The biggest change only applies to lease terms longer than 48-months. Those terms get a healthy .00030 money factor reduction, but I still don’t recommend leasing a BMW longer than 3 years. Other than, lease rates are the same. I’ve been noticing a slight up-tick on the sale prices recently, but the month is still young, so I would recommend holding out until month-end to see if discounts become more aggressive. Expect lease rates to change next month.

2011 Nissan Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/09 by G

Wow! check out how crummy the Leaf’s residual value is! That’s a shocker. The MF isn’t exactly what I call desirable either. However, if you live in a state where you get some big fat rebates (like we do in CA), you could get a pretty sweet deal on this car…if you can find one.

Overall, there are some good deals to be had here. The Sentra, as usual, is a great lease. The Rogue shows potential due to the high residual. The Altimate sedan is also a solid choice for those who need the extra room.

Nissan has done a great job positioning themselves as a lease-friendly brand by introduction great lease rates in the past couple years. Let’s hope they keep things up in the coming 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 Acura Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/09 by G

My apologies for lagging behind on the posts recently. I came down with a bad cold this past weekend so I’m still in recovery mode. I’ll try to get lease rates up ASAP since this is a short month. By the way, I would like to remind you that what you see posted is what I got, so if you are looking for other trims that aren’t listed, you probably should consult with your dealer.

Acura rates are pretty much the same as last month. If you are seeing different numbers posted, you probably are in the region where Acura uses a different money factor. I don’t know the exact breakdown of the regions, but I hear folks near the Great Lakes have a higher money factor than those living in the West/East Coasts. Please note that the money factor is based on your billing address, so buying a car out of state will not help you get a lower money factor.

In any case, I am still liking the TL this month, slightly more due to a higher sale price, but still a decent deal. There may be some lease support on remaining 2010 models, so be sure to inquire about those. Please note that once 2011s roll out, I don’t generally find 2010 numbers, so the only source to find that would be your local dealer.

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 Honda Lease Rates – February 2011

Published 2011/02/08 by G

Not too much to say here. Lease rates for Hondas remain unchanged from January. So Cal sale prices have gone up a bit, but nothing too significant that would make it a bad deal. The Civic, Accord, CR-V and CrossTour remain strong leases this month. The Odyssey isn’t half bad, but I think the MF is a tad high in my opinion. Expect rates to change next month.
