Concern is that the numbers you supplied do not work out to a $455 payment without some upfront cash from you. Make sure you get all the numbers from the dealer, including acquisition fee (usually around $600), plus taxes and other fees. Once you have all the numbers, you may also want them to run the lease based upon 36 months. Doing so may result in a better deal. As another person replied, the current RX is the same overall style that's been around since 2003, so other than an engine change (from 3.3 to 3.5 litres), there have not been significant changes to the RX. You won't see a third row seat in this vehicle because Lexus has two others (the GX & LX) for that. The exterior of the new 2010 RX will look pretty much like the current vehicle. Photos I've seen of the interior do not look very appealing but we should have a better idea of this later this week from photos at the LA Auto Show.

Hi.. I am looking for a 2 year lease on the rx 350. My last lease was a 3 year and I know they offer the best terms, but I was wondering if anyone knew what residual would be for 2 years... Thanks |

Hi all, I'm in No Cal and I've been reading these messages for the last few weeks while shopping for the best lease offer. Thanks to everyone who contributes, it has been VERY helpful to me. I actually used numbers from a member to get the dealer where I wanted. Here's where I ended up: MSRP $47,100 Pebble Beach AWD Nav, Heated, Tow(basically most of the main add-ons except Mark Lev stereo) 15k/year 36 mos money factor .00095 52% Residual These are the payment options I negotiated: 1)$800 down, nav package, AWD, non- Pebble Beach model (about $45k MSRP),$499/mo 2)843 down, nav package, AWD, Pebble Beach, $520/mo 3)$0 down, nav package, AWD, Pebble Beach, $545/mo I went for the last one, as my wife liked the Pebble Beach color & wheels and I didn't want to put anything down. I must have contacted 6 or 7 dealers in the state of CA before finding a person who was friendly and helpful without being too "sales-y". Truthfully, the purchase paperwork was probably the least painful out of any I've experienced. Entire process took about an hour and because I negotiated the deal over the phone, there was no dealer BS once I got there. Person's name is Ernie at Sacramento Lexus, if anyone is in the area and looking for a great deal on an RX. He even threw in a Lexus travel mug for the car- hey, it's the little things! Couple of last thoughts: I looked at the ML, Highlander, FX, and Pilot. Most of them had things I really liked and some I couldn't live with. The HL was actually my fave pick- better room, newer design, more space in the cargo area, same engine, etc. But the lowest lease price I could get was around $650/mo! Crazy that you can lease a car that's $10k+ more for less $. The RX seemed to have the best overall balance for us, taking into account the price. I do wish I could have waited for the new 2010 model, but that's why the price is so low on the 09's. Mark Lev stereo- I love good music. By far, our FX with the Bose had the best system I've heard. So I was excited to check this stereo out. I listened to the base model and the Mark Lev, and could not tell a whole lot of difference. Not enough to justify the $2k increase in price. Save the money and upgrade your home system ; ) The base model is actually pretty nice. Cheers! Steinboy

I am still working the numbers but I was going to out $3500 down plus the $1000 dealer cash and I'm getting $1400 for my trade in. The general opinion is that I am putting too much down?? I went to the Toyota dealer and asked about leasing a HL limited edition hybrid. Lowest number I could get was $719/mo which is crazy. I think if I could get it for around my price point of $500 I would go for it.
