Hey Car Man - New Lexus Lease Rates? by wstreet

Trying to lease 2010 RX350 FWD with MSRP of $47,200 and net cap cost of $42,000 for 36-mos, 15k miles, no entertainment center. Has Lexus' Dec-to-Remember promotion for this month changed last month's MF of .0022 or the 60% residual for 15k miles/year? Any lease incentive cash to the dealers? thanks!!

I'll be interested to know the outcome.
 
I started looking at the RX in the summer. The leasing program was not very attractive, so I told the salesperson I was inclined to wait and see what the December to Remember sales event brings for the RX.
 
The salesperson contacted me in Oct and told me that the residual went up 3 points. I told him that I'll keep waiting it out, hopeful that the December to Remember sales event will have a lower money factor for the RX.
 
The salesperson contacted me again in Nov to tell me that the December to Remember sales event started early and that the money factor on the RX was reduced for the sale. After getting his confirmation that this was indeed the RX lease program for the December to Remember sales event and not some early teaser (i.e., it wouldn't make sense to wait until December), I did a deal and took delivery in late Nov.
 
If the RX lease program changed for the better in Dec, I will be upset. I doubt I have any recourse, but I would certainly complain.

GoOrange -
 
Couldn't agree more. Looks to me like Lexus either didn't plan their annual D-2-R promo very well - or, move likely, they simply are concentrating on deals to move the non-movers off the lots as their books close for the year in 3 weeks or so.
 
I'm hoping they annouce some further reductions as the L.A. Auto Show opens tomorrow. With the bigger Detroit International Auto Show not opening until Jan 11th, the L.A. show is the last big event of this year - so if they have one last card to play, that's probably it. On the other hand, the fact that Lexus upped their RX lease residual percentages and cut (slightly) their money factor to 5.28% for Tier 1+ credit in Nov indicates they gave their dealerships more calendar days to move product and didn't wait until Dec. Time will tell and I'm in no hurry; plenty of inventory in SoCA.

both look like decent deals, I think your better off with a 3 yr lease but both are covered under the warranty so I guess it really depends on how long you really want to lease the vehicle, especially if you decide to keep it
 
I really like the amount due at signing you putting down! back in June and July when I was shopping in NJ all 3 Lexus dealers wanted $3000 down and wouldn't budge from that amount! what NJ dealers did you get these prices from, I'm just curious??
 
My $3000 down quote was from Bridgewater Lexus, Lawrence Lexus, and Ray Catena Lexus down in oakhurst, and the RX350 I looked at was just around the same msrp as your's!

Hi Sunpro
I really like you're 36 month lease...base? any options? Did they tell you how much your payment would go up for 12k miles? Thank you.

I think it sounds like a good deal...did you pull the trigger? Did that monthly include tax ? Thanks.

Option 1 with everything but the first month rolled into the lease. Keep the cash in your bank account and use it to pay down your monthly lease.
