Welcome Joe. This discussion was only created this month, so think of yourself as a pioneer . I would be happy to give you an idea of what this car's lease program is currently like. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2005 Lexus LS 430 (non-Custom or Ultra Luxury and without navigation) through Lexus Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00160 and 52%, respectively.

#544 of 592 LS 430 Lease by popeye7

I will be coming off my lease of a ES300 this Spring. I want to upgrade to a 2006 LS430 at that time or sooner. What type of special lease offers may be available in December or January. I seem to recall a promotion that basically eliminated the last 5 or 6 lease payments.

Greetings popeye7. It is difficult to predict what automakers future lease programs will be like, but in this particular instance it is fairly safe to say that Lexus will likely have an attractive lease promotion on the LS 430 in December. At the end of every year it provides lease support on the majority of its vehicles through its "December to Remember" sales event. It would not surprise me if Lexus ran some sort of early lease termination program in December as well, though if it does I doubt that it would waive more than three lease payments.

Car_man, can you please give a numerical example of how I can use these figures (money factor and residual value) to calculate a monthly payment?

I'm not car_man, but I can direct you toward our Lease Calculator, which should help you determine monthly payment if you have the info available.

Hey mlazar. The lease calculator that Kirstie just suggested is an excellent place to go to figure out what your vehicle's lease payment will be. If you want to understand just how the formula that is used to calculate lease payments works, you also may want to check out the following article: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Excellent link in post #10. This is, by far, the most simple explanation of how a car lease is calculated that I have ever seen. Thanks.

#551 of 592 December to Remember Promotion by popeye7

Nov 22, 2005 (1:47 pm)

Does anyone have info on the upcoming December to Remember promotion. Assuming that Lexus will have it again, how does it work? My lease on an 03 ES300 is up in a couple of months and I was thinking that I might get a good deal on a 24 month lease for an 06 LS430. I could force myself to live without the restyled 07 LS for 2 years.

I've had an opportunity to take a look at the new "December to Remember" lease program and would be happy to help you out, popeye7. Lexus is providing special lease money factors on just about all of its vehicles through this program. It's new lower buy rate lease money factor for the 2006 LS 430 is .00148. This is a lot lower than its standard money factor of .00245 that you would normally have to use to lease this car. If you are in the market for a new Lexus, now it a great time to get one. It's difficult to say whether Lexus will carry over its special lease program on this car through the month of January.
