I'm negotiating a lease on GX470. So far the RV is about 51-55% for 36 months lease. Best quote so far is $617+tax w/ 9 security deposits (many thanks to hoggolfer!!!) - options: nav, 3rd row seat and DVD entertainment. $1088 down (tax+lic+1st payment) + 6K deposits. msrp is $55460.
Hoggolfer -- do you think it's a fairly ok deal or should I try harder??

I would like to know the lease terms as well. We're looking for the GX470 adding only the 3rd row, no other options needed. Thanks.

Hello pk13. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the GX 470 that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers 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 this truck's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to work give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.
 
Lexus is not currently providing any lease money factor support on the 2007 GX 470. As a result, if you were to lease one through Lexus Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard lease money factor. Its buy rate standard factor varies slightly by region, but it should currently be around .00275 for consumers who qualify for its "Tier 1+" credit tier. Its current 36 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value for an '07 GX 470 without the entertainment system option is 56%.

CarMan,
I do not understand how to interpret those lease numbers. We are looking to lease an '97 GX 470 with no options other than the 3rd row. We have good credit, so I asssume we'll qualify for Tier 1.
What exactly should we be asking the dealers and what numbers should we be looking at. We are starting competitive pricing now and want to take the vehicle by the end of the month. ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED -- We are very confused!!!

Hi hbeltran. Your credit score is definitely not low. I believe that Toyota and Lexus Financial Services require lessees to have a score of 730 or higher though to qualify for their "Tier 1+" credit tier. Your score probably qualifiers you for their "Tier I" tier, which usually has factors that are .00010 higher.
 
Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 GX470 without the entertainment system and with 15,000 miles per year are .00275 and 54%, respectively for Tier 1+ customers. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease are .00275 and 44%.

Hello whittler2k1. Unfortunately, Lexus is not providing any lease support on the 2007 GX 470 this month. As a result, if you were to lease one through Lexus Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard lease money factor. Its buy rate standard lease money factor varies slightly by region, but it should currently be around .00275 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. This truck's residual values vary by term and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. LFS' current 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for an '07 GX 470 without the entertainment system is 54%.

Hi smartshopper9. It sounds like 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.
 
Basically, the two most important numbers to focus on when negotiating a lease are your vehicle's selling price and the money factor that is being used to calculate its monthly payment. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Shop around and negotiate the lowest possible selling price for the GX 470 that you want and then have the dealer that gives you that price calculate its monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.

Looking for current money factor and residual values by mikem15

Have gotten what I feel is a good offer but would welcome other feedback. I am looking at the '07 GX 470 with the $8,736 package (this includes the navi, 3rd row seat, rear entertainment, tow package, chrome exhaust, lexus link, rear spoiler). The MSRP is is $56,086 and the dealer is offering to sell the me the car at $49,301. The truck is black onyx and I like the color but realize it probably is not the hottest selling color. They are quoting me a MF of .00265 for 15K/year, 36 month lease, 53% residual through Lexus financial. Lease fee up front of $600 with payments of $799 including tax (6.5%). Total due at signing of $1,100.
 
By reading this forum, I feel the MF is good but am worried that the residual is low. With the entertainment package, shouldn't it be higher and around 56%? That of course would make a big difference in payments. Any one know of another leasing company or bank offering bettter MF or residual?
 
This forum has been a great refrence source, much to the dismay of the dealer!! Thanks for helping the little guy win one!
