I have to get into a car pretty fast...best deal I found out here in Florida is the:

06 SUBARU IMPREZA 2.5i SEDAN with manual transmission

$0 down and 200 per month lease

What you guys think about this car? Any other leases out there with $0 down that I should consider...payments must be no higher than $300 per month

Thanks guys

...one more question, on leases, are you required to do all the maintnance at the dealership or can you do them yourself?

nandito: I did some number "cranking" for you man and came up with this you can swing payments with no money down and provided the dealership won't work with you at all. meaning here's the price either take it or go home. (which they won't pull that) on a new Civic Si. plus money left over for tint,rims, tires, and a quick throw shifter. however with a leased car be careful how much you "rice it out" because they have to inspect it upon the end of your lease the dealership. however little things like tint, rims and tires(which you can put the stocks on in like 15 minutes no problem) i don't think they'll care about.

Thanks for the info man much appreciated

I wouldn't hook up a leased car either way

As long as you keep records, it doesn't really matter either way.

Can someone lease it for me (my sister), but I register it under my name with the DMV...trying to get a condo, dont want this debt on my credit report?

Is this legal?

I have leased at least 8 cars in the last 9 years and have never had an issue turning a car in, they have never asked for records of service or made any comments about minor damage. I once turned in a 98 cavalier that was missing the passenger side mirror, no one knows what happened to it, but two days before we turned it in, it was gone - go figure! The one trick I have is to make sure you turn the car in dirty.

iTimmy

wise move

I would wait to buy a car until after you buy a condo. You dont want to screw up your chances over a car.

But if you really-need-a-brand-new-car-right-this-second (which, by the way, isnt a good idea imo if you couldnt tell by the sarcasm), the lower the payment, would be better.

Nandito28

yeah I needa car very pronto...No sarcasm here sorry...Do you think my sister can lease for me, But I will have the registration and insurance???

Nandito28

I'm taking the plunge!!! 06 SUBARU IMPREZA 2.5i SEDAN with manual transmission
200.65 monthly payment...this is including all the tax and title stuff.

the only draw back is that the lease is for 48 month (4yrs)...I've never owned a car more than 1.5 yrs...its gonna be hard for me...but I need my condo!

Would the 06 SUBARU IMPREZA 2.5i SEDAN with manual transmission beat an RX8?

How much more is insurance on a lease?

I use to have 05 TL MT, I wouldn't think insurance would be higher, but rather lower since the TL was $35K and the Subaru Impreza is 19K...any ideas on insurance?

Shoofin

I don't know about Florida, but in my area, the insured has to be on the lease no matter what.
So.....you can do the lease under you and her, and insure the car either under your name, her name or both. But as far as I know, you can't lease the car on your sister and insure it on your name, unless you both share an insurance policy.
Kapiche?

Nandito28

Yeah, samething over here...per the dealership

Congrats on the purchase.

If you decide to get rid of the car before lease end, keep an eye on the buy-out amount listed on your monthly statement. Compare this against the current market value of the vehicle and you might be able to find a dealer or a CarMax willing to pay your buy-out amount and take ownership of the vehicle from you, freeing you from obligation.

And no way you're going to be even close to the acceleration of an RX-8.

Insurance will need to be up to the minimums required by the leasing company. Assuming you went through Subaru to lease, I would imagine basic full coverage should be sufficient. You'll get more info on that from them in a week or so.

Cost of the insurance may not change too drastically. Although the value of the vehicle you purchased is significantly less than the TL's, you may loose some of the advantage based on average cost to repair, number of claims from other owners of said vehicle, and any safety features that the TL had that the Impreza doesn't.

That is called a "Straw Purchase" and is against the law.

Damn...that's more than for my TSX...

1killercls

36 month?

CGTSX2004

iTrader: (1)

48, but I just ran the numbers on the 48 month lease using their lease calculator and it's still more than my TSX. Plus, this is not a $0 drive-off lease, just $0 cap cost reduction.

Cool. I was just pointing out Water's ability to sling copious amounts of

I know, but I was just surprised by how expensive the lease on the Si is considering that it has ridiculous resale values.

1killercls

to be truthful I was somewhat suprised as well. But that is figured with no cap cost reduction and zero down.
