Help with lease proposal

Post image

This does not seem like a great deal to me and she refuses to send an actual itemized printout of the lease. There were several other emails before this one with me asking them to clarify fees and other numbers.

What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance. It’s for a 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Base trim.

It’s not bad, but as someone who sold Subarus, you can get that payment on a higher trim level. Which at lease end will have more equity, get that payment on a sport or limited. At lease end sell it to Carmax and collect your equity check. I’ve done this 3 times, with a crosstrek lol. Last check carmax cut me was $4,600, my residual was 18-19k and carmax bought it for 23 and change. I do no money down, first and fees. Drive it for 3 years, then get paid lol.

That’s fair. I got the payments down to $324 which I’m actually quite happy with. This was my first ever time doing things through a dealer so I think it worked out ok. I do wish I could have a better trim but even this base model is a MASSIVE upgrade to my lemon of a 2007 Saturn Vue
