This is very promising. I was hoping for those numbers. I plan on leasing the car and maybe buying a new FRS in three years. I imagine by then I can get a nicer version right off the lot. I'll keep this car bone stock.

Best bet on a new vehicle if you expect to keep it, pay outright. That's what I'm doing, well finance for 3 months to build a bit of credit since I haven't had a car loan in like 4 years.
Pay 2/3's or more immediately on the full 25-29k loan, then divide the rest out and pay off in 3-4 months. You pay very little in interest this way and still get the credit benefits. Over the last 8 cars I've bought, $147,865.23 worth , two were brand new, all of them by paying off early I've saved $7505.50 total. And I wasn't able to pay more than half down on any of those, it adds up quick, and those all had interest rates of 5.75 to 9.5% which isn't great but not terrible either. A low interest rate of 2-3% or 0% would of course negate the advantages to a large degree. But unless you can pay the car off to begin with, it's not likely you would have excellent credit to get those kinds of deals to begin with. Obviously I keep a VERY detailed spreadsheet about my car loans. |

As it turns out, in NJ, you pay for the entire lease's sales tax as part of your down payment. In Florida, you pay tax on each payment. Since I already paid all of the sales tax to NJ for the life of the lease, I have to fill out a refund form to get back the sales tax NJ charged me for all of the months the car is registered in FL. In my case, it's kind of cool, because that means I get a check for 34 months' worth of tax that I don't actually finish paying to the state of FL until the lease is over in another ~2 years. |

I agree, but most people will not mod this car, when they know a Turbo version is coming in 2015. It would be better to keep it stock and the miles low and lease it and then buy the turbo FR-S\BRZ in 2015. Come on know, we all know deep down in our hearts that there will be a turbo. The engine is just not ready yet. It will come out in the next gen WRX first.
If you lease the FR-S and the residuals are upper $16k range for 36 months, you know that the car is going to be worth more than that in 36 months. |

Those numbers were based off Tier 1 as far as I know. I didn't run my credit yet, but I think I should be in that range or higher. If it's over 720 then the payment would be a little less. If it's lower, then I am going to go ballistic on someone...lol, but the payment would be higher. From my experience, going from a Tier 1 to a Tier 2 would add around $20-25 per month in payment.
Here's a list of Scion's rate and money factors. To get an approximate interest rate from a money factor, multiply it by 2400 and it will be close. EX: .00200 * 2400 = 4.8% roughly. Ruskymx
