    Visited a local dealer's website and requested an "Internet eQuote" on a 2018 Impreza sedan.

    This approach was not via TrueCar, etc. I simply clicked on the "Request an eQuote" button for a 2018 Impreza sedan on the dealer's website.

    Moments later, I received a solid "purchase price" coupled with a solid MSRP. I was content with the numbers that showed up in my Inbox, so I submitted a request to lease the vehicle, based upon the eQuote price.

    Now the dealer is balking; they can't lease the vehicle for the purchase price quoted. They cite manufacturer rebates based upon purchase that can't carry over if the vehicle is leased. (Something like that...)

    Is it possible this dealer is actually being honest--that they "cannot" lease me this vehicle based upon the purchase price I received via their eQuote?

    They're counter-offering by adding something like $11.00 to the final monthly payment total. That hasn't been officially offered just yet, but that's what they're discussing with me.

    Is it worth fighting this? (LOL)

    I've understood, from my research, that a dealer is paid-in-full for the negotiated purchase price of a vehicle via the finance company (in this case, Subaru Motors Finance) when a customer leases--and that "paid-in-full" amount also includes any fees rolled into the financing (like a lease acquisition fee, or plates and registration, or a doc fee, etc.).

    Is my understand incomplete? Is it not actually so straightforward?

    Is a dealer not "reimbursed" for a financed lease in the same way they're "reimbursed" for a financed purchase?

    Are leases somehow less profitable for a dealer, so they have to pad the price for which they would be willing to sell the vehicle outright (even if the outright purchase was financed)?

    Thank you.

    We've covered this - there are often different incentives for lease vs. purchase. When you request a price, the dealer (or their software) assumes you are buying and applies the purchase incentives to the number quoted.

    Which is why it's important to tell the dealer you are leasing when you begin negotiations, but that's kind of hard to do via a "click to get price" interface on your computer.

    Leasing is simply an alternative to buying with a loan. Dealer has the ability to make money on both the sale price as well as the cost of financing (dealer can mark up the loan rate or the money factor).

    Thank you, Michaell.

    Yes, we touched on this briefly re: KIA websites regularly posting thousands of dollars in "mysterious" savings next to each and every model they offer.

    This is Subaru, and there are no "savings" posted for this Impreza on the website; I received a purchase price in my Inbox when I requested it.

    This is a 2018 model that they want off the lot--and the "purchase price" they sent me reflects that. Now they're backpedaling, telling me they can't lease the vehicle for that quoted purchase price.

    The thing is, every article I have read on the Internet instructs a buyer to negotiate a purchase price while not disclosing, in advance, an interest in leasing. Every article.

    And I have had great success with this approach in the past.

    I fully realize that I can't force a dealer to lease me a car for a quoted purchase price, but I posted here last night because I was looking for a "deeper dive" on the details of why that might be.

    But if there are different incentives for purchasing vs. leasing--and that incentive information is never made public--then I suppose I have to accept that as the explanation for why this dealer is backpedaling on this quoted purchase price.

    Yes, I understand that leasing is simply a financing alternative to purchasing with a loan--but it appears it's not so simple, from the dealer's perspective. It appears there are hidden profit metrics at play.

    Thank you.

    One approach to get the best price is to get the dealers to bid against each other for the right to earn your business.

    And yes, there may very well be hidden incentives between the factory and dealer we know nothing about.

    Understood, thank you.

    The issue is, this is the very last 2018 Impreza in the entire Chicago-Milwaukee area, so there were no dealers to bid against one another, etc.

    The MSRP was $20,589 and they "volunteered" a purchase price of $17,057, which would've yielded a monthly payment of $168, with lease acquisition, doc fee and license plates rolled into the financing.

    As you know, the money factor is .00025, which yielded $7.30 per month in interest.

    It would've been a great deal--very much inline with my previous car lease deals.

    Whatever the case, I received a text from the dealer this morning. Someone has placed a deposit on the vehicle and they'll let me know if the deal doesn't go through.

    I'm not holding my breath.

    It's all good. I didn't love this dealer, regardless of the price. LOL

    Onward and upward!

    Again, thank you for your replies.

    Are leases somehow less profitable for a dealer, so they have to pad the price for which they would be willing to sell the vehicle outright (even if the outright purchase was financed)?

    Thank you.

    We've covered this - there are often different incentives for lease vs. purchase. When you request a price, the dealer (or their software) assumes you are buying and applies the purchase incentives to the number quoted.

    Which is why it's important to tell the dealer you are leasing when you begin negotiations, but that's kind of hard to do via a "click to get price" interface on your computer.

    Leasing is simply an alternative to buying with a loan. Dealer has the ability to make money on both the sale price as well as the cost of financing (dealer can mark up the loan rate or the money factor).
    Thank you, Michaell.

    Yes, we touched on this briefly re: KIA websites regularly posting thousands of dollars in "mysterious" savings next to each and every model they offer.

    This is Subaru, and there are no "savings" posted for this Impreza on the website; I received a purchase price in my Inbox when I requested it.

    This is a 2018 model that they want off the lot--and the "purchase price" they sent me reflects that. Now they're backpedaling, telling me they can't lease the vehicle for that quoted purchase price.

    The thing is, every article I have read on the Internet instructs a buyer to negotiate a purchase price while not disclosing, in advance, an interest in leasing. Every article.

    And I have had great success with this approach in the past.

    I fully realize that I can't force a dealer to lease me a car for a quoted purchase price, but I posted here last night because I was looking for a "deeper dive" on the details of why that might be.

    But if there are different incentives for purchasing vs. leasing--and that incentive information is never made public--then I suppose I have to accept that as the explanation for why this dealer is backpedaling on this quoted purchase price.

    Yes, I understand that leasing is simply a financing alternative to purchasing with a loan--but it appears it's not so simple, from the dealer's perspective. It appears there are hidden profit metrics at play.

    Thank you.
    One approach to get the best price is to get the dealers to bid against each other for the right to earn your business.

    And yes, there may very well be hidden incentives between the factory and dealer we know nothing about.
    Understood, thank you.

    The issue is, this is the very last 2018 Impreza in the entire Chicago-Milwaukee area, so there were no dealers to bid against one another, etc.

    The MSRP was $20,589 and they "volunteered" a purchase price of $17,057, which would've yielded a monthly payment of $168, with lease acquisition, doc fee and license plates rolled into the financing.

    As you know, the money factor is .00025, which yielded $7.30 per month in interest.

    It would've been a great deal--very much inline with my previous car lease deals.

    Whatever the case, I received a text from the dealer this morning. Someone has placed a deposit on the vehicle and they'll let me know if the deal doesn't go through.

    I'm not holding my breath.

    It's all good. I didn't love this dealer, regardless of the price. LOL

    Onward and upward!

    Again, thank you for your replies.
    The downside of trying to grab an end-of-model-year deal - inventory is scarce.

    Thanks. My daughter leased a 2018 Impreza 5DR Limited with Nav, Moonroof, Pkg 35, Eyesight, etc., up for $25,450 (17% off) MSRP of $30,521, in Los Angeles today. $250/mo including 9.5% tax with $756 drive offs including first payment, tire tax, tag, registration, doc fee for 10K/36mos. I think the incentive of $1050 was figured into the selling price.

    Daughter did not have a Subaru ambassador or a loyalty coupon - but we SHOULD have pursued it more to sweeten the deal. I did all the negotiating today for my daughter via emails to several dealers that still had 2018's, and after some back and forth, the car was ready for her to sign and drive tonight.

    I know the 2018's, especially the loaded eyesight ones are almost gone since the 2019's have arrived but there are still some out there to make some deals.

    They don't exist; that's why the lease support has ended.
