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.

I would suggest using the money you were going to use as down payment to make multiple refundable security deposits to reduce the lease money factor (by .00008 per each multiple) and thereby reduce the monthly lease payment. You get that money back at the end of the lease and it works out to a pretty decent return on that money. I have done that, as have many other posters on this forum.

"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 am in Dallas as well and this is the offer I got from Park Place Plano on the same car you leased:
36/mo 15k = $615/mo (only $620 due at signing)
Money factor is .00195 (tier 1 plus credit)
Residual is 52% of MSRP $44,841 (res is $23,317)
 
Using a lease calculator i figure the cap cost is about $39,700. My FICO score is 792, so I am not sure why the difference in MF or the residual. Which dealer did you buy from? Thanks.

Larryj42 -- I did only a 12K mile so that is probably the difference in the residual but I would think the MF should be the same as that is a Lexus promotion. I did negotiate with Park Place and they actually came under by a few dollars but I purchased at Sewell because it was a better location for me. I negotiated everything over the phone.

What is the general opinion on waiting until February for the 2010 model to come out? I'm wondering if I will get a good deal by waiting?
