2iugrads, your car's MSRP is way to high. But it is really about personal preferences. In NY tri-sate you can get around (depends on tax at your place) $500 including tax for 36 mo., $ 0 down,10K mi/y, MSRP $45,426 (Premium Plus, NAV, heated seats, wiper sensors, 18" tires, etc.), but your credit have to be in Tier 1. And this is not just talks, I've got three offers in writing v. email. Using mf of .00095 and RV of 55% you may see that Ajusted Cap. Cost they use (considering my tax is 8.125%) was around 39,500. That is about $400-500 less than invoice price. How did they do it I do not know. Probably they used $1,000 dealer cash Car_man mentioned or some other coupons currently available to them or to us which we do not know of.
I think you can get similar deal nationwide, but most definitely in Northeast.

mjfloyd1, I understand the economy of this deal, but how to apply this in practice. Mind to share any knowledge?
Moreover, are these security deposits would be refundable if car stolen,totaled, etc.?

U r right . Enjoy.
The only thing that sticks out is your MF of .00085. Really low. Did you negotiate it? what state are you in?

No negotiation on the MF. I asked the dealer to breakdown the quote, and this is what he gave me. I was surprised too, as I was under the understanding that the MF is 0.00095.
 
I'm in Ohio, and this is a dealer in Cleveland.

inexperienced lease person needs quick help by flugel

I am going to the dealer tomorrow. He offered me an outright all cash purchase price of $42,500 for a 400Hybrid that has an MSRP of $51 approx.
 
We know that we would trade it in at end of 3 years since new technology will make this car a dinasaur.
 
Please explain how I should negotiate with the sales mgr, who I have an apptmt with tomorrow.
 
I like the idea of a "one pay lease" whereby I will trade my wife's 2006 Pilot w nav and leather in (and hopefully have very little cash outlay to consummate the lease. she will need a lease with 20,ooo miles if this is possible as she drives about 22,000 miles a year usually.
 
I do not understand the terms such as the .00150 and 48% (does the lease mean no down payment? do I first negotiate the discounted price of car and reveal that I want a lease ? and then reveal that I have a trade-in ? Do I have to negotiate hard to get a 20,000 mile per year lease ?
 
A sales mgr of a distant lexus advised me that this would be good for me if I definitely would trade in 3 years and insisited on paying cash if I didn't lease (due to my bad health condition etc). HELP- - - - HELP - - - -HELP.

Good deal? by cdwilli

I just leased a 09 RX350 with an msrp of $44841 (with navigation) for cap cost of $40,310.78, mf .00095 and residual rate 54%. I'm in Dallas and they did no sales tax and used the $1000 mfg credit like a down payment. This is 36 month, 12k/year lease and the payment is $525. All I paid at delivery was first month plus title and registration -- $657.55.
 
I negotiated between two local dealers and the other would have gone about $5 less on the payment but I went with the dealer closer to my house and with whom we have dealt with prior. I feel like I got a great deal.

I have gotten the following deal
 
MSRP: $43,591
Lease: $39,591
Residual: 44.00%
Money Factor of 0.00105
48 months/12k
 
$455/mo
 
The car has everything but Nav. Dealer says Nav is about $40 more per month. Does this sound like a good deal?
 
I also drove the '09 highlander hybrid today to get a comparison to the rx. I was surprised to find the interior much nicer in the Highlander. It has keyless ignition, 3rd row seating (out of the floor) and a much better center console. It seems that this is the way the '10 RX will look and its a shame I need to buy now. Anyone know why the '09 doesn't have these features?
