Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Help! Leasing a 2018 Crosstrek Premium

I'm looking to lease a 2018 Crosstrek Premium with heated seats (none of the other extras).
I want to put $0 down (no licensing fees or admin fees or anything else, though I'm happy to pay the first month's payment).
I shopped around a little and was offered:
$331.34/month for 36 months (have to pay first month also)
10k miles/year
MSRP: $24,842
Rate: .00145
Reside: .65
$16,147.30 residual
King County, WA/Seattle area.
Is this a good deal, generally? I plan on shopping it around, trying to get an idea of what kind of lease deals others are getting.
Thanks for any input!

Assuming 10% sales tax, pre-tax payment of $301/mo.
To get that payment, you need an adjusted CAP cost of about $24,850.
I know registration is pretty high in WA, and you'll also have the $595 acquisition fee.
That imputes a selling price of about $1000-$1300 off MSRP?
That would be a decent deal, without the money factor markup.
With the base money factor, and the same deal, the payment would drop about $23/mo.
That would be a good deal.

Dealers are permitted to markup the rate for extra profit. Just like they might markup an interest rate on a loan.
The maximum markup is .00050. They've added the maximum markup to your money factor.

Black on black 2018 2.5i Premium Outback.
$26,164 + $150 doc fee + $2,694.89 in taxes +$601 for registration tabs & license.
$469.99/month for 36 months with $0 down.
He's making it sound like an incredible deal that can only be offered because it's the end of the month etc. etc.
