Very High Lease Quote?


Recommended Posts

I was just quoted 479/month for a auto (5eat) 2008 legacy gt with no options.

 

down payment was included in lease price, but tax still extra

 

10,000 miles/year ... 36 month lease

 

This is interesting, considering i was quoted 388/month for the same vehicle a few months back, except this was 12,000/year...42 months or $412 /month for 36 month, 12,000 miles.

 

Its very interesting that prices would go up on a vehicle as it gets older, especially as the '09 models are to be released within about a month.

 

That said, i am wondering if other people could possibly check in and post about what they paid (lease) for their '08 lgt's. I am wondering if it is worth it to go to another, further dealer for my vehicle, as i sort of feel like i may be getting ripped off here. (I'm paying 505/month for my 06 3 series, and considering the lgt may almost reach that once tax is included, i may second guess my purchase)

 

p.s. has anybody dealt with prestige imports in pleasentville, NY?? If not, has anybody had a good experience with any westchester NY subaru dealers?

 

thanks ..

That definitely sounds too high. Maybe it's because they're figuring higher depreciation since as soon as the '09's come out your car is technically a year old but regardless that's a little silly.

I had a very good experience a while back buying a used Legacy from Ruge's in Rhinebeck. You could see if they give you a better deal.

Just a point in fact:

 

$28.5k loan @ 5.9%, no down payment for 60 months = 553.11, $500 with $2500 down (neither with tax included)

 

You should be looking for low to mid 300s for a lease at this level. Not even close to 400s.

 

Leases are icky, way too many places for dealers to hide crap.

 

IMO, negotiate a lower ACTUAL sales price and worry about payments later. If you can make payment on the 'best' price you are ready to roll.

 

Being a 'payment buyer' gets you hosed.

 

 

EDIT: At current rates of 4.9 you'd be at $536 with 0 down, $489 with $2500 down.

 

So, if you can get a sales prince of $28.5k ± (which you should with current incentives: see invoice princes at cars101.com or edmunds.com) and put $2500 down you can OWN the car for $10 bucks more than the dealer is quoting on a lease… :eek:
