Hi class77. The reason that Lexus Financial Services' residual values are lower in general than BMW Financial Services' residuals is that BMW artificially inflates its vehicles' resids to provide consumers with lower monthly payments while Lexus does not...at least not as much. BMW will deny that they do this until they are blue in the face, but it's vehicles' residual values are unrealistically high. That's great for lessees, but not great for them when they get the cars and trucks back.

Lexus GS Leasing ? by qikcar

Planning on leasing a loaded lexus GS (premium + navi + ML audio/bluetooth). MSRP is 51900. MF is .00085 that I am qualified for. Will put down 2000 only in drive off costs. I need 36 months/12K a year lease. Best offer so far is 659 + tax. Other offers are 699 + tax, and 680 + tax. Residual quoted is 42-52% - its keeps on changing - or are they just lying? Sell prices are ranging from 46500 to 49000. Can I get this car for 650 w/ tax included or am I dreaming.
 
Thanks

Gikcar,
 
You've been offered a great deal! I have been shopping for a lease in Dallas and have gotten much worse. Where are you located. I have been quoted a 48 month lease 820 down 711 per month, or 699 per month 1420 down, this inlcudes TTL. I want to get a 36 month lease so if you can share where you are located and the dealer I can try and get the same deal. I can travel to pick a car up.
 
Thanks!

2008 GS350 RWD ML + Nav
MSRP $51590
Selling price $45100
36 month lease 15k miles per year with just first payment out of pocket.
$709 + tax
Residual 42% MF .0003
Do the numbers look right? The residual seems horrible compared to other brands.

Hi motoevolution. The lease program that you were quoted is right in line with Lexus Financial Services' current program for this car. You're right, the GS' residual values are pretty bad, but unfortunately I suspect that we will being to see a lot of terrible residual values out there over the next several months. Banks, even manufacturers' captive finance companies, are starting to become much more conservative in estimating vehicles' residual values because a number of manufacturers have been forced to take huge charges to their earnings for overestimating residuals in the past lately.

Hi, Car_man.
 
Do you know what is the other charges for the current GS lease program, such as acquisition fee, security depost, disposal fee, etc. anything other than the Ist month payment of actual car and tax? TIA.
