    36/15 - 57% and .00103. Add 2% for 12K and 3% for 10K

    Destination is charged by the manufacturer and is on the window sticker. Acquisition is charged by the bank writing the lease.

    so are they lying, or perhaps it State to State difference?

    this is straight from his email
    "Legacy 58% .00059
    Crosstrek Limited / navigation. Model FRD 22 - 54% .00091

    Premium Crosstrek does not come with Navigation"

    I confirm the .00059 MF and 58% residual for the 2015 Legacy Premium for 36/15, and 54% and .00091 for the CrossTrek Limited 39/15.

    OK, newbie here...

    My credit score is around 650-660. This is what they sent me:

    MSRP: 28,507.00
    LEV 59%
    Mil: 12K
    Lease End Value 16,819.13
    Term 36K
    Cash Cap Reduc 752..12
    Cap Aqu Fee: 595.00
    Adj Cap Cost: 25,642..88
    Lease Money Factor: .00154
    Payment: 310.49
    Tax: 30.43
    Payment: 340.92

    1500.00 down

    How is this as far as deal considering my credit? The car was supposed to be 26K...does this mean they are selling it to me at 25,8K? Thanks so much!

    What trim level?

    And, do you know your specific score? 650 puts you at tier 4, while 660 is tier 3. Big difference in MF (.00030) between the two.

    2015 Limited with leather, sunroof and nav...black on black...thank you..i will confirm the score used.

    59% and .00104 are the lease numbers for the XV Crosstrek Limited 36/12 (tier 1). Tier 3 MF is .00154 and Tier 4 MF is .00184.

    Using the MSRP and Adjusted Cap Cost you've provided, I get a payment of $310.50/mo for Tier 3 and $323.24/mo for Tier 4.

    Looks like the dealer is quoting your payment based on tier 3.

    So last question, and I thank you for your help. The price they quoted me is 26K

    The initial cap cost shows an amount of 25,800.00

    Is that the price they are selling me the car for?

    I used the $25,642 number to calculate my payment, which matches the dealer quote.

    Looks like a little bit of the up front money is being used as a down payment.

    I confirm the .00059 MF and 58% residual for the 2015 Legacy Premium for 36/15, and 54% and .00091 for the CrossTrek Limited 39/15.
    yep, I called back and the dealer said the he made a "Mistake", long story short he scred up on both quotes for me on a Legacy and Crosstrek

    Here are the real values on a 2015 Crosstrek Limited + Nav+Sunroof

    MSRP $28,386
    SELL PRICE $25,250
    MF .00091
    0 down, tax 6.25 rolled in
    39m lease ( he said is better than 36m)
    RV he corrected 57% (16,180) for 10k miles, 56% for 12k, and 54% for 15 (which he used by "Mistake")
    39x10k
    I get around $310/m

    the dealer quoted at $332/m, which means there is $1800 total in other fees.

    Check with a dealer to see how the residual is reduced for mileage over 15K/yr.

    Could I have the MF/R% on a 2015 Crosstrek Limited in Washington state -- 36/12K?

    Being told the R% is 0.56. Looking at a stock(ish) Limited and having trouble getting below 275 (incl. 9.5% tax, so 251.14 pretax) a month with 2k down.

    Is that a good price? I'm told sticker is 26145 and sale price is 23896, but I have no clue if it's a good rate.

    Don't know what they are selling for, but with your tax rate, the payment looks about right.

    Hi. For a 12K/36 lease on a 2015 Crosstrek Limited in CA I was quoted a MF of .00170 and RF of 60%. Does this seem right? Also, I'm sorry for newbie question, but can the MF be negotiated, or is it just what it is? The car I want only exists at one dealer (in fact I'm flying to get it) so I can't really shop around for it. Thanks for any help.
