First Payment Made! No first payment for returning lease customers who finance or lease a new Subaru
SoA will make first monthly payment up to $500 to returning current Subaru lease and balloon customers with a maturing lease or balloon through Subaru Motors Finance (SMF).
The customer must purchase a new Subaru vehicle and finance or lease the new contract with SMF.
Customer is responsible for any remaining dollar amount over the $500.
The disposition fee on the existing lease or balloon account (for vehicle returns only) will be waived with the purchase of a new Subaru.
Lease Contract: The dealership will not collect a payment from the customer on the date of vehicle delivery unless the payment exceeds $500 in which case only the excess amount must be collected. SoA will pay the first month’s base rental plus monthly tax, as applicable, up to a maximum amount of $500.
Retail Contract: The dealership will not collect a payment at time of delivery. Upon SoA verifying customer eligibility, SoA will submit payment directly to SMF on behalf of the customer. NOTE: The customer will receive a monthly statement showing a first payment due. Please inform the customer to disregard this first statement as SOA will make the payment. We will be sending a letter to the customer confirming that the payment has been remitted. If the customer’s payment is over $500, they will have to remit the difference at time of their first payment.
Security Deposit: Customer's security deposit will be waived on the new lease contract.

NOTE: Subaru of America (SoA) NW Seattle area customer rebates and specials. These incentives may vary so always contact your local dealer. not appliable on sales into Canada. May not include dealers in CT, MA, ME, NH, NY, RI, VT, NJ, HI.

Subaru offers a College Graduate Program so recent and soon-to-be graduates who might not normally qualify because they've been students, can finance or lease a new Subaru.
Applicants must graduate within 6 months or have graduated within the last 24 months from an accredited U.S. 2/4 year college, grad school (incl Doctorate), nursing school, or trade school.
Must have proof of employment & income (pay stub), or a letter from the future employer indicating a start date within 90 days, and salary.
Payment cannot exceed 15% of gross monthly income.
Credit history, if any, is always important and derogatory or late payment credit history, bankruptcies, foreclosures, repossessions etc will affect interest rates and availabilty.
Qualified applicants may be eligible for current special lease and retail offers depending on the individual's credit, income etc.
And of course, see your local dealer for details and credit application...

April 2011 News announced April 5th, 2011
new Legacy finance rate raised to 2.90%x72 mo (from 0.9%)
new Forester finance rate raised to 2.9% for 60/63 mo (from 1.9%)

The factories in Japan that produce Impreza and Forester have been shut since the earthquake March 11th.
They are scheduled to reopen early April (April 5th?), but as a result of being closed, the supply of those models arriving at dealers in April is expected to be reduced, with even greater reduction in May.
So if you are looking for a new Impreza or Forester, expect to see fewer cars on the lots, especially in May.
