What Is Leasing a Subaru?
Leasing a Subaru means you pay to use a new Subaru for a set term and annual mileage allowance, rather than paying for the whole vehicle. Your monthly payment covers the vehicle's expected loss in value during the lease, plus a finance charge, so lease payments are usually lower than loan payments on the same Subaru.
Who is Subaru's leasing company? Subaru leases are offered through Subaru Motors Finance (SMF). The Subaru Motors Finance name is licensed to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which provides financing and leasing to Subaru customers through the SMF program, subject to credit approval. [2]
At the end of your lease, you can return the Subaru, buy it for the purchase price set in your lease agreement or trade into a new Subaru.
How Leasing a Subaru Works at Ourisman Tri‑State Subaru
1. Choose your Subaru
Pick the model, trim and options. The vehicle's price is the starting point for your lease.
2. Pick a term and mileage
Choose how long the lease runs and how many miles a year you expect to drive. Both affect your payment.
3. Get approved
Get pre‑qualified online or apply in person. Approval and lease terms depend on credit.
4. Drive and maintain it
Make monthly payments and keep up with scheduled maintenance at our new service center at 303 E Cleveland Ave.
5. Decide at lease end
Return it, buy it or trade into a new Subaru. Our team will walk you through each option.
Should You Lease or Finance a Subaru?
Neither is always better. The right choice depends on how much you drive, how long you keep a vehicle and how you want your monthly budget to look.
| Leasing | Financing | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly payment | Usually lower for the same Subaru | Usually higher |
| Ownership | Return, buy or trade at lease end | You own it once the loan is paid off |
| Mileage | Annual allowance set in your lease | No limits |
| Changes to the vehicle | Limited; normal wear only | Customize however you like |
| Warranty coverage | Often covered by Subaru's factory warranty for much of the term | Coverage ends as the vehicle ages |
| Best for | Drivers who want a new Subaru every few years | High‑mileage drivers and long‑term owners |
Not sure which fits? Our finance department can show you a lease and a loan on the same Subaru side by side so you can compare the real numbers.

Subaru Lease Terms, Explained
These are the terms you'll see on any Subaru lease offer or agreement. Knowing them makes it much easier to compare lease offers.
Capitalized cost
The price of the vehicle in the lease, plus any fees or products included. A lower capitalized cost means a lower monthly payment.
Residual value
The vehicle's projected value at the end of the lease, set by the leasing company. Because Subarus tend to hold their value well, strong residuals can help keep lease payments competitive.
Money factor
The finance charge on a lease, similar to an interest rate on a loan. It depends on the lease program and your credit.
Due at signing
What you pay to start the lease, which can include the first payment, a down payment, fees, taxes and registration. Paying less up front usually means a higher monthly payment.
Mileage allowance
The number of miles per year included in your lease. Miles beyond the allowance are charged at lease end at the per‑mile rate in your agreement.
Disposition fee
A fee that may be charged when you return a leased vehicle. Your lease agreement lists the amount and when it may be waived.
Popular Subarus to Lease in Northern Delaware
Lease programs are available across much of the new Subaru lineup. Offers change monthly, so check New Lease Offers for current payments on the model you want.
Forester and Forester Hybrid are among the most popular Subarus to lease, with standard AWD and plenty of cargo room. Outback suits drivers who want wagon‑style space and ground clearance. Crosstrek and Crosstrek Hybrid are compact and efficient for Newark and Wilmington commuting. Ascent adds a third row for growing families. Impreza, WRX and BRZ round out the lineup for drivers who prefer a car.
New Lease OffersWhat Happens at the End of Your Subaru Lease?
You have three main options. Start the conversation a few months before your lease ends so you have time to compare them.
Return it
Schedule a lease‑end inspection and return the Subaru. Charges may apply for excess mileage or wear beyond normal use, along with any disposition fee.
Buy it
Purchase your Subaru for the preset purchase price in your lease agreement. This can make sense if you're over your miles or love the vehicle.
Trade into a new Subaru
Lease or finance a new Subaru. Current Subaru Motors Finance lessees who return their vehicle and lease or finance a new Subaru through SMF may have the disposition fee waived. [3]
Leasing from another brand? We can review your current lease as a potential trade‑in.
Value My Trade or LeaseLeasing a Subaru in Newark, Wilmington and Northern Delaware
The right lease depends on how you drive. Many of our customers commute on I‑95 between Newark, Wilmington and Philadelphia, drive DE‑2 and DE‑72 through Pike Creek and Hockessin, or head to the Delaware beaches on summer weekends.
That's why the mileage allowance matters so much. Before you sign, add up your round‑trip commute, school runs and regular weekend trips, then choose an allowance with a little room to spare. It's usually less expensive to pick a higher allowance at the start than to pay for extra miles at lease end.
Standard Symmetrical All‑Wheel Drive on most Subaru models also makes a lease a practical choice for Delaware winters, especially on side streets that are cleared later than I‑95.
