I did not have to pay any "security fee" and paying all the taxes up front means you're actually paying $522 a month on your lease . You can do better - get rid of that $600 "security fee", get that $1,000 coupon, and reduce your lease to 500 a month (taxes included). Remember timing is everything so you might want to hold out until the last two days of the month.
 
Good luck!

I am trying to lease a 2009 RX350 for my mom. Here is the current deal and I am trying to determine if this is good or not:
 
Nav system, no DVD
36 month/15k miles
First month pmt due at signing along with $200 or so for license (taxes and all rolled in)
 
MSRP: 44,841
Cap cost: 40,726
Money factor: .00180
** The have to get the car from another dealership so they have some transfer costs
52% residual
 
Pmt: $598/month
 
Any idea if this is any good and if not, where I should target?
 
Thanks for any assistance!

Shawn -- you can do WAY better. Take a look at the other lease deals on the page and try to match them with your local dealer.

Hello Redraider1994,
 
I am signing on a deal this afternoon for the exact same vehicle and MSRP. I don't have the exact cap cost for my deal but I can tell you the Money Factor is .00095 and 52% residual. My deal is for $1,100.00 Out of Pocket and $481.00p/month tax inc. So you could work on the Money Factor for sure. In case you may not know, tell them about the $1000 Manufacturer to Dealer incentive, to throw that in. I'm actually considering going with 12k per year to bump the residual up to 54% and save and extra $28 per month more. Hope this helps.

Could anyone answer this for me? I see the Cash to Dealer support at Edmunds has changed from $1000 to $2500 begining December 2nd. Is this correct?? Do we have and extra $1,500 to negotiate with? Anyone's quick response would be greatly appreciated as I am slated to sign a deal later today.... Thanks.

Lease Deal for RX350 by trachda

We were offered one with navigation, XM, Ipod hook up, 20,000 miles/yr with $1700 down for $699/month in a 36 month lease. Lexus told us the prepurchased miles are $.20/mile, I know Acura and Infinity are $0.10/mile as we are comparing the Acura MDX and Infinity FX35. Is this a fair deal?

Think this is a good deal if it includes NAV and DVD for the payment. Can you give me all the trims when you purchased and out of door fees for your case? Tks.

sorry i forgot to add that the payment also includes the dealer absorbing the last 2 lease payments of my current acura lease for a total of $1232 so I could purchase now and not wait until my lease runs out. This is at a dealer in northern NJ.
Thanks Dan

Thank you Dealmaker. I've been shopping for about a month. I shopped the deal around the other dealerships I had already negotiated with and only one would match it, not beat it, and only for a vehicle they had in stock which they didn't have. These are the terms I signed yesterday:
 
MSRP $44,841.00 (DVD NAV, Premium Plus, Towing Pckg)
Sell Price $37,698.50
Terms 36/12k
Money Ftr 0.00095
Residual 54%
Out of Pocket $1,100.00 (First month, Tag, Fees, Cap cost reduction)
Monthly $481.00 tax in (7% tax)
 
Reading the forum I have noticed that Regional location seems to matter for pricing pressure as well. I'm in Miami and Lexus is not struggling here. This was actually the only dealership which had the color combination I was looking for (smoky granite with black int.) and only had one. they are selling this vehicle rather easy here from what the dealerships have told me. They are more concerned with getting allocation for the 2010 RX.
 
Hope this could be of help to someone down South if it's considered a good deal.
