Whether this is your first car or just your next one, you have already heard plenty of offers and details about a lease on a new car, or a better plan to purchase another one. When it comes to getting into a new car, consider leasing a new Subaru instead of buying.

When you lease a new Subaru, you are saving yourself the headache down the road that all cars over the age of 8 begin to run into, with major repairs and parts replacements. You may also get a better deal at our dealership here in Bend, OR because your monthly payments are not the overall value of the new car, but the value from the time of you lease and to the end of it, as we use the guaranteed residual value of the car when you bring it back. You also benefit from having a warranty that covers the length of your lease, so if anything does happen to the car during your lease, you are most often still under warranty, saving money yet again.

Statistically, the majority of Subaru owners purchase their vehicle because that is what they have always done. Actually, about 75% of Subaru owners buy their new car. This space is intended to show you why leasing has become an increasingly popular option. Not everyone is a good candidate for leasing, but many Subaru buyers are. 

In this space, we'll give you some facts about leasing to enable you to determine if a Subaru lease is right for you. Here's some of the information you can review:

• A typical Subaru lease is 36,39 or 42 months at 10,000, 12,000 or 15,000 miles per year. You may pre-buy additional mileage at .10 per mile at the time of your lease. Excessive mileage is currently charged at .15 per mile at the end of the lease
  
• There is NO security deposit required.
• A $300 disposition fee is waived if you purchase or lease another Subaru.
• Subaru offers lessors a loyalty bonus equal to the first month of your next lease free (up to $500).
  
• Subaru is very generous with $1,000 "wear and tear" allowance when you turn your car in. This covers typical scratches, dings, and minor deferred maintenance items.

• Tend to drive more than 15,000 miles per year.
  You can pre-pay for additional miles @ .10 per mile at the time of leasing but the penalty afterwards is .15 per mile for overage.
• Expect a change in your job or family status.
  Changing status (job, family, baby) could alter the requirements of your current vehicle. Early termination of your lease could be costly.
  
• Like to keep your cars for a long time.
  This allows you years of no car payments.
  
• Mistreat your cars or don't maintain them.
  You are responsible for maintaining your leased vehicle according to Subaru's specifications
  
• Want to customize your car.
  What goes on must come off without damaging or altering the car when you turn it in. This commonly happens with performance vehicles like a WRX/STI.

• Want a lower monthly payment or more car for your money
  
• Desire less maintenance headaches.
  Subaru's 3 year, 36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty covers everything (even wiper blades) except for regular scheduled maintenance - which you would do anyway whether you bought it or leased it.
• Have fairly consistent mileage history so as to not incur mileage penalties.
• Enjoy the latest safety, features, technology and mileage improvements.
• Just like the smell of a new car.
