Replying to: thundrct4life (Nov 12, 2008 2:42 pm) I am looking to lease for 36 months with nothing down BUT a "one payment lease" that reflects an MSRP for a 2008 Hybrid of $51,064 with a lease price of $44,200 plus $349 doc fee which results in a residual of .48 at a rate of .00090...giving total payment (lump sum at front of lease) of $27,400 ($713.05/month). Is this a decent deal ? Can I get a better deal ? Which numbers should be trimmed to result in a lower one payment lump sum ? Any help will be appreciated. |

| Yesterday, I searched the internet and fund a RX 400h in Advantagecar.com in Houston. I called the sale Rep and I was told that the car is in good shape and they also accept the Aircheck voucher. After 2~3 hrs drive, I went to the dealer and test driving. I found the matainence check light is sometime on and sometimes is off. the engin is also very noisy when I speed up to 70~75 miles. I felt that the car is little bumping in highway. after test driving, I tried to talked to Car Rep about those problem. They said it is jsut forget to rest light. when I started to inquiring the engin problem, the guy who claim as sale manager said that they don't accept Aircheck voucher for this car. They showed their impolite and they don't want sell it any more. Then I have drove another 2~3 hr back to home. From my shopping experience, some car dealers are very dishonest. the customer has to be very careful. | |

This is probably simple, but I have talked to so many dealers with so many numbers I am woozy. I am working with a dealer on an 09 RX 350. The sticker is $44665, the invoice is $39413. I have got the dealer down to $39100 + TTL This includes a $1000 manufacturer to dealer rebate and a $1000 "closing certificate" from Lexus. The dealer says this is his rock bottom price. If the $1000 rebate and the $1000 closing certificate come from Lexus to the dealer, doesn't it reduce his cost to $37413? The holdback is 2%, or $896, which reduces his cost to $36517. This would give him a profit of $2583. If I am correct, I would think he could still lower that price quite a bit. Are my calculations wrong? Thanks for your help!

Replying to: larryj42 (Nov 25, 2008 11:17 pm) Final price (n/i TTL) was about $2500 under invoice based on Consumer Reports' invoice price, about $2650 under invoice based on the sales manager's invoice. Took the .9% financing. Our new car had actually been at the dealer for several months, so that may have been why they were willing to go so low. But I also did a lot of email footwork before actually going to the dealership, playing area dealers against each other. Figure we're still taking a risk, b/c Lexus dealers, and Toyota, may get desperate to move 400h stock at year's end and early next year, but we needed the car sooner rather than later.

I'm interested in leasing an 09 400h - the discounts and pricing being tossed around over at the buying experience forum seem to indicate discounts available of 7-10K. I would like a 2WD 400h with the Premium Pkge and Nav - which I think MSRPs around 51K. My price target for the car would be about 42-43K, which hopefully gives me a lease payment in the mid 400s with under 2k out of pocket...in Florida, sales tax is only due on the down payment and lease payments as they're made. I'm willing to shop around the Internet, and can even visit some dealers in SoCal on 1/2-1/3/09 to try and do something in person - but the car needs to be shipped to south Florida, where I live. Can anyone refer me to a dealer or salesperson who gave them a good deal on the car, or at least post the current 36/39M (15K miles) residual and money factors so I can do my own computations? As long as they can ship the car to me at a reasonable cost, I don't care where the dealer is. |
