Help! I'm trying to lease a brz!
 

Hello everyone! Finally the day has come where I can finally finance one of these beautiful car. The issue is I have no idea where to look where to even begin. I live near LA, 92833 to be specific. I was wondering if someone can give me a direction to where i can lease one of these beauties with a reasonable price. I might have some additional question later on. I can't wait until i get my hands on this car! cheers and thanks for the help!

I'm going to say your best bet is probably to find a Subaru dealer.

I mean, generally a dealer that has a lot of stock might want to get rid of their cars faster, so seek dealers with high BRZ numbers in their lots..

Any dealer can give you a decent lease price, it depends on how well YOU are able to talk your way and deal with the stealerships.

Back in the day when BRZs were rare, Subaru dealerships were acting as if they're selling Porsches.

There is an art to leasing. The web has tons of good info.
I suggest looking at this site:

My local dealer has no BRZ in stock. Not sure if the LA dealers are stocked well. Some parts of the country have surplus while other parts (like SoCal) seem to have a shortage.

You can look in to a dealer from another state that could offer leases and deliver the vehicle to you. You'd have to fax/fedex the paperwork back and forth I guess. A bit of trust too.

Otherwise just start at your local dealer and talk to them. Try to get a test drive, see what deal they offer, and what color/options they have in stock.

Why can't you find a Subaru dealership on your own?

You don't have to go through the dealer for a lease, you can go through a bank or a leasing agency as well.

i guess i phrased my question wrong.. I meant i don't really know the process of leasing and i wanted some help of something to look out for or something i shouldn't say or what not. Maybe something specific to brzs? i don't know. i guess i'll research about it. also how much do you guys pay if you leased your brzs?

Renick Subaru is close to you... It is on Orangethrope@Euclid

How much do you want to pay per month?

(if you answer this question, you're not ready to visit a dealer!)

?????????????? Isn't leasing all about monthly payments, mileage and residual?

Yes - in addition to built in interest rate, down payment(s), and the price the are leasing you the car at.

If you answer that question the dealer WILL ask, they will punch some numbers on a calculator and tell you they need $5k down, it's a 42 month lease, and the annual mileage is 10,000/yr, with a $0.40/mile overage.

They'll also charge you $2k over MSRP for the car.

But what can you say? They met the monthly number you wanted to pay, right?

For what it is worth, when I was looking at leasing the rates for a BRZ were substantially higher than the rates for a FR-S.
