Replying to: Justinguo (Jan 15, 2009 6:22 am) I can only speculate that Lexus decided not to ship the model as a 2009 because they stopped production before the 2009 calendar year, but they should have looked at the valuation picture from the consumer's point of view and started shipping the model as a 2009 back in late summer, even for a limited production run. That being said, check the overstock.com pricing information for your zip code to see how dealers are applying the cash - you should be able to take the invoice price and chop off at least 5k. You may need to be more price flexible as the retail supply dwindles and your color/option selection becomes harder to find. |

After a shipping delay, my new 400h just arrived. I want to share my great buying experience with the Lexus of Cerritos (Southern CA) fleet sales team - they offered a great price (no haggling needed), underpriced the competition, found me the car, did most of the work over the phone, and had everything ready for me to sign when I got to the dealer - no shenanigans. Sometimes buying a car remotely can be a hassle, but these folks were top-notch, and although I expected a surprise along the way, nothing came up. If anyone is still finding a tough time getting a good deal, especially in the Southeast or Texas, give these folks a shot.

Replying to: Justinguo (Jan 21, 2009 12:49 pm) MSRP was 49,4k Selling Price (cap cost before 1k DP) was 40,8k MF was 0.00035 (December to Remember) Residual was 47% Monthly Pymt before sales tax - 506 Total Drive Off was under 2k including 1k DP, license, first month, no dealer fees As I noted in the R400h lease thread, I re-ran the numbers using the 0.00285 MF, the 46% residual and chopped almost another 3K off the selling price of the car because of the better factory money, but the payment went up by almost 80/mo due to the horrible money factor and worse residual being offered now. If you can finance the car instead of leasing it, you should be able to get the same car I did for about 37 and change. My car is a 2WD R400h with leather, Nav, wood, tow prep, heated seats, and graphite wheels |

I'm wondering if anyone else had the following extra captialized costs in 400 h lease? Acquistion fee = $700 (is this mandatory/optional) L & M fee = $493.80 MV Sales/Use Tax Reimbusement = $78.47

MV sales/use sounds like a state tax or something - have your dealership finance man explain all these numbers. |

has anyone tried 1 pay lease or multiple security deposit(s) option. It seems to be about $2,500 less lease payment, with 1 pay lease for 3 yr lease term. I'm not sure if there are any disadvantage(s) with this 1 pay lease option from Lexus. Also, any input/feedback with multiple security deposit(s), is very much appreciated.

Replying to: briegel (Jan 23, 2009 10:10 am) how much will the MF be reduced with the multiple security deposits option?
