Where it gets dodgy is in the lease numbers. They are using $40,254 as the MSRP (which doesn't match either of the numbers above). Which number should they be using? Is it acceptable to increase the MSRP by considering the residual value of accessories (especially things like a tow hitch)? How does that calculation work?
For what it's worth, they are using base MF, and everything else seems above the board. The monthly payment is attractive, and overall it seems like a good deal. That is unless they should be using the stated MSRP of $38,755. I don't see how accessories that legitimately increase the value of the vehicle can be ignored however. The dealer doesn't add that stuff for free (although they do jack up the price significantly to bolster their bottom line).
Sometimes, there is a dollar amount that can be added to the MSRP for certain dealer installed accessories. I don't have Subarus list (and it varies for each model), but a tow hitch could be one of those items. If they can increase the MSRP for the purpose of calculating the residual, that would benefit you.
It's hard to believe they could add $1499 to the MSRP, though, unless there are more things like running boards, etc (big items).
Look at the actual residual amount. Divide that number by the residual percentage, and that will tell you the actual MSRP used to calculate the residual.

- Hitch - $769
- Wireless charger - $469
- Rear bumper cover - $169
- All weather mats - $139
- Body side moldings - $319
- Splash guards - $269
Each of those items are marked way up. I called them on it, saying those amounts are much greater than factory installed rates. They said it's because they have to pay techs to do the install. Regardless, here is the rest of the deal on a 36/12:MSRP: $40,254
Negotiated Price: $37,770
Taxes and Fees: $1693
Down payment: $0
Monthly payment: $482

I'm amazed that they can add $1500 to the MSRP for the $2100 amount they listed for those accessories.

They did indeed use $40254 as the MSRP.
$1499 added to the MSRP for accessories.
As you noted, your selling price is all-inclusive of the accessories, so it doesn't matter much what value they assigned to them. The extra $1499 raises the residual by $959.36, reducing your depreciation.
If you think you paid less than $1000 extra for the accessories, then they are virtually yours at no cost.
But, you only received a discount of $1000 from the original MSRP. With the benefit of the higher residual, due to the accessories, it is equivalent to a $2000 discount, if you assign the accessories no value at all.
Is that a good deal? Beats me.. I'm not in the market, but out of your accessories, only the mats and splash guards would have any value to me ($250?). If you tow, the tow package is a valuable item.

I'll say no to the discounting on the 2020. Brand new, pretty popular and probably not a lot of inventory on that trim level. On an outgoing 2019? Sure.

Residuals rarely go up during the model year.

My wife did not like the auto stop/start, and I was shocked to see how hard they made it to disable (about 3 menus and a slider deep on the touchscreen), especially since it reactivates every time you start the car. A dedicated button is much easier.
also putting the heated/ventilated seats into a sub menu is a dumb idea. Probably even worse since you use that when driving, so instead of just hitting a button without looking, you now have to take eyes off the road while navigating through menus. Might as well be texting on your phone! Seems like a safety risk.
fine putting one time use stuff in the various menus, but anything you use potentially every time you drive (while driving) should be hard buttons, or right fixed on the bottom of the home page. Temp and fan speed I believe are? But heated seats should be.
did not sit and play with it all though (just a short test drive) to see what else might be an issue. Online chatter is not happy with a small carplay window on the massive screen.
I suspect if they get enough blowback, a few things might change on the interface. All just software, so they can rearrange however they want to.

Is it the best deal in the world? No. Is it a fair deal? Yes. Considering the newness of the model and the scarcity of the trim level, I'll take it.
Thanks again!
