Hey gemini64. Moving with a leased vehicle should not be a problem. Each state has its own rules on sales and personal property tax, to they are difficult to generalize about, but even if you do end up owing tax on your leased vehicle it probably will not be all that much.

Hi chrismang1. The money factor for a lease with 15,000 miles per year would be the same as the one that I mentioned earlier, but its residual value would be 2% lower than LFS' 12,000 miles per year residual.

Hi Phat3. You never mentioned the selling price of the truck 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 GX 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 on this lease if you let me know what the selling price is.

Hello, car_man. Looking to purchase a GX470 by year end. Have never leased before and local dealer is strongly suggesting lease is the way to go. Numbers, however, don't seem close to what I see on this forum. MSRP of quoted vehicle is $53,800. Lease is 48 months at 15K miles per year. Money factor is .00235. TOP is $3,145 (no security deposit and $1,500 cap reduction). This TOP is conveniently covered by the $3,200 offered for my 2000 Dodge Caravan (68,000 miles). Will probably try selling that myself if I can't negotiate a better overall deal. Monthly payment comes to $694.75. Seems way too high based on what I'm reading here. I will end up going for a GX470 with the sports package and rear entertainment system so MSRP will be higher. But anyway, what do you think? Do I forget the lease and just go back to purchasing as I have always done? Don't quite know how to assess when the lease would be better than purchase.
 
Thanks

Should I take the offer?? by banneheim

Dear Carman,
I would love your expert opinion. I visited a Lexus dealership in Raleigh and here is the deal they proposed after several hours.
 
Lexus GX470 w/Nav, Mark Levinson Sound, Third Row, Rear Spoiler, Tow Hitch, Preferred Accessory Package.
 
Lease 39month, 12K/year
MSRP: $53576
Final Price: $47535.00
Residual: 56%
MF: .00120
Monthly Payment: $603.13 (already 3% sales tax included)
First payment due at signing, 0 downpayment, 0 security deposit.
 
Do I have any more room to negotiate or do I have the best deal available. I must admit, they were very professional and the best customer service I've received but I just hate the "process" of buying a car!

Just a note: be sure you qualify for that 120 MF. It only applies to the highest credit scores. I have excellent credit and thought I'd qualify, but at the last minute they told me I didn't, and the deal got significantly worse. Watch out for the B&S (bait and switch)
