Hi toddc2. I always advise consumers against leasing for 60 months. It is usually very expensive to get out of leases prior to their scheduled end dates. A lot can happen over the course of five years to make you want to get a different vehicle. Your commute to work could change causing you to go way over your mileage allowance, you could get sick of your truck and want something different, etc... It is best to stick to a 36 to 39 month lease, 48 months at the longest.
 
Lexus is not currently providing any lease support on the GX 470. If you were to lease one through Lexus Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard money factor. Its standard factor may vary slightly by region, but it should currently be around .00285 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. LFS' current 60 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value is only 36%.

Hi hotchilipepper. If the dealer did not residualize the aftermarket entertainment system that you put in your leased GX 470, and I suspect that they did not, then you would be able to take it with you at the end of your lease so that you can install it in your next vehicle.

Hello berisky. You never mentioned the selling price of the GX 470 that you are interested in leasing. 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 truck 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.

First Lease - GX470 by caligirl5

This is the first time I am considering leasing and any information/advice would be appreciated. I received the following quote and it seems like a decent deal:
GX470 with MSRP: $53,536
Includes:
Navigation System / Mark Levinson Audio Package Includes:
Backup Camera
Cargo Net, Cargo Mat, Wheel Locks
Exhaust Tip
Rear Spoiler
Third Row Seat With Rear Air Conditioner
Tow Hitch Bracket
 
Sale price $45,688
Residual $29,444.
MF .00275
$1500 Total Drive Offs
36 $735. Incl Tax.
 
I asked for a quote based on 3 years/12,000 miles per year so I believe this is for 36,000 miles. I am trying to confirm this with the dealer. Will the December to Remember deals be better? Any chance I can negotiate a better money factor now and not wait until the end of November? I believe the money factor will go down to .00225 at that point in time.
Thanks for any responses!

Hi berisky. The truck that you described has a whopping spread of over $6,500 between its MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The $5,500 discount that you negotiated on the specific unit that you are interested in is a pretty reasonable price. It is probably equivalent to around $1,000 over invoice. Just make sure that the dealer that you are working with uses Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor to calculate your monthly payment and you're all set. LFS' current buy rate for this model should be around .00275 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Welcome caligirl5. Since you have never leased before, 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.
 
The lease money factor that you were quoted good, it's right in line with Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate for this model. You are being given a huge discount on this truck as well. If you like it, I personally don't see any reason not to go for it.

Does anyone know the lease factor and residual that I should expect in the Texas market for GX470 in a 36 month lease with a 15k mile/year allowance?
