Why the Subaru Forester leases the way it does
The monthly payment on a lease is driven by three things: the negotiated capitalized cost, the residual value at lease end, and the money factor (interest rate). On the Forester, a typical 36-month deal amortizes about $11,926 of depreciation across 36 payments, plus a finance charge based on a money factor of roughly 0.00130 (~3.12% APR equivalent).
