#1270 of 1568 New Money Factors and Residuals???? by Naladog315 Jan 12, 2009 (7:43 am)
Anyone know what the current MF and Residuals are for the RX350? I am being told that the MF went up to .00285 and the residual down to 51% in conjuction with the increase of dealer cash from $2500 to $5000. Anyone know if this is true?

Replying to: lordo (Jan 07, 2009 5:52 am) Hi lordo. As one might expect, Lexus is not providing lease support on the 2008 RX 400h any longer. As a result, if you were to lease one through Lexus Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard lease money factor. It believe that LFS' current buy rate standard factor is .00285 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier. The residual value for a 36 month lease of a base '08 RX 400h AWD with 15,000 miles per year is 46%.   When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take advantage of the $6,000 dealer cash that Lexus is providing on it.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: Naladog315 (Jan 12, 2009 7:43 am) Hi Naladog315. The money factor and dealer cash that you were quoted are correct. Lexus eliminated its special lease money factors on the '09 RX 350 for January, but it doubled its dealer cash.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: lordo (Jan 12, 2009 9:47 am) New to this forum, one quick question. I am thinking to buy a 2009 400h. Given the $6,000 from Lexus to dealers, what is the reasonable price I should offer? $6,000 below invoice price? or higher? Thanks a lot Replies to this message: rain_man (Jan 16, 2009 3:59 pm)

WOW, the boost in money factor makes a huge difference. I was upset at missing out on the extra 3500 cash, but when I ran the numbers through my Reg M lease calculator, the new lease price for the same deal added almost 90/month.   My original deal was around 41K, 47%, .00035 with a 506 payment.   The new deal is around 37k, 46% and .00285 with a 588 payment.   Now I'm extra happy with the deal I got, even if the price paid was much higher. Now if Lexus had kept the .00035 MF and boosted the cash to 6k, then I would be feeling grouchy. Replies to this message: skylab (Jan 15, 2009 7:40 am) bocastephen (Jan 15, 2009 8:11 am)

Replying to: bocastephen (Jan 14, 2009 12:47 pm) Yeah, me too. The deal in December definitely favored leasing over buying. This month it's the other way around. But it seems like you'd better have cash, because Lexus has apparently also done away with subsidized financing. I'm not sure that's the best way to move inventory in this economy, but what do I know? Replies to this message: bocastephen (Jan 15, 2009 8:11 am)

Replying to: skylab (Jan 15, 2009 7:40 am) I thought I read some rumor somewhere (maybe Clublexus.com) about Lexus having a massive stock of 2008 R400h at the ports, but being unable or unwilling to ship them to retail dealers - so they were offering "insiders" (I guess Lexus and Toyota employees, dealers, vendors and other associates) a very, very cheap 12 month lease on these cars to get them out of the port.   Unfortunately I only knew a few people who worked at Toyota, and none of them are there anymore so I was both unaware of the deal, and likely unable to get it without their help.

Replying to: Justinguo (Jan 14, 2009 7:43 am) Unlike RX350 there is no 2009 model of RX400h. With the $2,500 deal people were getting almost $9,000 off MSRP. So $12k under MSRP should be realistic now...
