| Hi, I know a lot of people leasing toyota highlander hybrids because they claim the lease prices on the rx400h are still high. No-one on this forum seems to be talking about the 400. I'm about to start researching my lease for a new 400h I have a 2006. Is anybody still buying/leasing these cars? Are they being left behind by flex fuel suvs? I LOVE my 400 altho the steering is squirrelly but I want a good deal on a 2009 or I would consider another car. I would imagine it's an absolute buyers market right now. Any thoughts welcome! | |

I am going to the dealership on Saturday morning so if anyone, especially Car Man, can give me any thoughts on the following deal: I just called my first dealer last night and got the following offer: 36 month lease/15k RX350 AWD, Navi and Premium Package MSRP $46,241 MF: .00075 Residual - 52% Selling Price $39,178 Total due at signing - $1,526.25 Monthly payment (x35) - $499 After one call, this seems too good to be true. Any thoughts? Also, I was thinking of adding the rear dvd player but the deal said they don't residualize them. Has anyone had any luck having them residulalized? Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: cityboy2 (Dec 11, 2008 10:34 am) I don't think they have the factory installed rear dvd player but he said he would put in an after market one into each of the headrests at $50 over invoice. I was just surprised that he could residualize it.

Replying to: Car_man (Dec 09, 2008 5:32 pm) Got the car from Lexus Manhattan (NYC). A terrible experience. The salesman said the money fctor was .00171 (and showed me that rate on their screen.) When I told him I had checked the internet and with another dealer and the rate was .00095, he said I was crazy. That was the rate YESTERDAY. I accused him of lying, which I know he was. I should have walked away, but I needed a car this weekend. I finally had him meet the price of a dealer from South Jersey, but I hated to buy from him. Later he told me the money factor bump wasn't his idea, it came from the dealership. He was just a salesman trying to sell a car. I made a deal -- $2730 for tax, etc up front, and $460/month for 15K. I know it's a fairly good deal compared to the prices from other dealerships, but from my calculations, I know this is more than I should be paying. The salesman argued about deducting the up front costs. He said they didn't deduct the tax and fees from the cap cost. According to others on this site he's wrong, but I didn't know enough about it to argue with him. I go to pick up the car tomorrow and I'm kicking myself for having to buy from them. It wasn't just the salesman. I caught the delivery manager in a lie, too -- he wanted to sell me a car that had already been prepped when the buyer wasn't approved for financing. He said the car I wanted didn't have wheel locks and a cargo mat(it did. I had asked for the detailed car inventory). This is the kind of dealership that gives car buying a bad name. Leaser310

Replying to: KMS_Cleveland (Dec 11, 2008 9:00 am) 36 month lease/10k RX350 AWD, Navi and Premium Luxury Package MSRP $46,241 MF: .00095 Residual - 55% Selling Price $39,349 Total due at signing - $1,684 Monthly payment (x35) - $475 incl CT tax of 6.5% I am happy with this considering it is $40/mo lower than the 2006 RX330 no nav I am returning. I am sure some of you guys have/will do better since Lexus seems to be overflowing with cars in Long Beach CA that continue to arrive on ships. |
