Yes… it’s generally 1% without a down payment. It’s a rule of thumb…for some cars, you should expect a deal that is lower than 1% and for others, getting a 1% deal is generally not achievable. Each month’s residuals, money factor, and incentives all factor into what type of deal is possible. Sometimes a dealer is willing to do a unicorn deal for some particular reason and that deal may be almost impossible to replicate.
Figure out which vehicles you’re interested in and search the forum for signed deals to see what’s doable…and always, post what you’ve been offered for input before you sign.
I mean saying one of the worse vehicles in this class is “much better” than the worst vehicle in its class isn’t saying much. The Ascent looks and feels like something that went on sale a decade ago (like the QX60). But at least the QX60 leases like something that’s been on sale for a decade, e.g. dirt cheap.
OP - this is a tough car to get a deal on. You have way better choices here. I think people get carried away by the Subaru badge. It has little going for it. The interior is straight out of pre-bankruptcy GM trucks in the mid-2000s.
Hi…I am new to the forum and interested in potentially leasing the Ascent. I have read through this post and I am getting disappointed to hear how high the payments are. Have things gotten any better since the original post?
I’m located in zip code 11590 and was wondering what the MF and residual value would be for 36/10k or 36/12k. I’m not looking to put money down but not looking for my payments to be in the high 400s or low 500s.
