2019 Subaru WRX STI (September)

Hello Hackrs,

Trying to get an opinion on this, fair deal? good, bad?
2019 Subaru WRX STI (base model 38k msrp)
36/10
$490 Month
$3k due at signing (NY Tax 8.875, dmv, bank fee,1st)

I really don’t find much cars that peak my interest at the moment and need a car within the next few days. Debating on signing off on this deal, if not then I would probably look into a Infiniti Q50 and call it a day.

Sales price? Incentives? Is the MF marked up? You’re not giving much to work with. STIs typically lease poorly. If you’re set on one, you’re likely better off purchasing it

Much better off buying. You’re spending 20k to lease a 38k car for 3 years. My guess is that would depreciate 10-15k in same timeframe.

I don’t have the sales price, I was trying to get a copy of the worksheet from the sales person however It didn’t have any of that info. Yes I am aware of these cars leasing poorly, I know that sometimes they can range from $420 to nearly $600’s. I’m not 100 dead set on this just trying to see if I should reconsider an go another route.

Putting it in that perspective $20k over 3 years on this lease definitely doesn’t seem logical. I was considering keeping this car when the lease would be up but just taking a step back and thinking about it more maybe I should look into something else like I’ve mentioned, maybe a Q50 with the idea of getting a but more and saving a lot over the course of 3 years.
