I think $499 seems high - at least compared to my deal in NJ. Mine was pretty much the same MSRP car, zero down, and the final monthly payment of $426, or really $399, before tax. I am sure you can squeeze more out of your dealer as they seemed desperate to unload 2006 models.

Thanks for the info. I am in South Fla. They dont seem desperate at all to move the 06 models. With no incentives I am not buying! They gave me a fair sale price for the car but a terrible lease offer.

Has anyone tried one of these national/internet lease companies such as autolease specialist or usautoleasing. They claim they can get any car in the US and have it delevered to you at a better deal than a dealership?

#1410 of 1426 Lexus ES 350 lease question by jayb82

May 13, 2006 (11:55 am)

Hi Car_man
 
I've never leased a car before and was wondering if you could help me with the following lease quote.
 
2007 ES350 with Ultra luxury package
 
State: NJ County: STATE INCLUSIVE
Lease Term: 36
Total Payment: 819.19
Out of Pocket: 0.00
MSRP: 43,989.00
Residual: 26,393.40
Mileage: 15,000
 
I asked for zero money down. As of now the salesman is not budging on Sale price because this is a newly launched model.
 
I would like your opinion on this deal? Any suggestions on how I can negotiate a better deal?
Also I was told that the residual value/buying price is not negotiable at the end of the lease term, but I've known people who have negotiated a lower buyout price. Is this something that I have to haggle the dealer about?
 
Thanks for your time.
Jay

Car_Man,
 
I am looking at a 2007 ES350 w/Nav and Premium Plus with this:
 
State: TX County: Tarrant
Lease Term: 36
Total Payment: $662
Out of Pocket: $3000
MSRP: $40749
Selling Price: $39749
Residual: 62%
Mileage: 12k
Money Factor: .00355
 
I have already negotiated $1000 off the MSRP and they are providing free ceramic tint and all weather mats and oil changes for the 36 months.
 
My question is, is there anything in the financing side of the deal that is negotiable, specifically the money factor?
 
I am trying to get my payments as low as possible.
 
Thank you,
 
MartinR

#1413 of 1426 LEASING A LEXUS RX330 by jba90306

May 21, 2006 (1:46 pm)

I am new to this discussion, so i apologize if you already went over this. I am shopping for a RX330 lease. I hate going to a dealer without knowing the prices. The RX 350 just came out and they only want to talk about that model. i feel the 330 is comparable and should get a good deal as they seem to be willing to negotiate.
 
Has any one out there recently leased the RX330? I am looking to do a sign and drive without anything down, or very little down.I can go with either a 36 or 48 mo lease.
 
I live on Long Island NY and have been in contact with Lexus of Massapequa. Any info (intelligence) would be appreciated as the more info i have the better term i can negotiate.

Hello Robert. The last time that I checked, Lexus was not providing any sort of lease money factor support on the 2006 ES 330 or the 2007 ES 350. As a result, if you were to lease either one through Lexus Financial Services, you would have to use its standard lease program. Lexus is however providing its dealers with $1,000 dealer cash to help them unload the '06 ES 330s that they have left in inventory.

Hi agidol. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
As far as the specific lease that you are interested in goes, you never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what its selling price is.

The dealer that you are working with does not have the authority to negotiate your vehicles' lease-end purchase price. This number is between you and the bank that you are leasing through. More often than not, consumers are not able to negotiate the end of term purchase prices of leased vehicles. The consumers who are successful in doing so place a call directly to the bank that they are leasing through a month or two before the scheduled end of their leases and to see if they can get a price break.
