#1272 of 1568 Re: Lexus rx400h money factor and credit score [lordo] by Car_man HOST Jan 14, 2009 (3:20 am)
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...
#1280 of 1568 is this a good deal?? by motwani Jan 18, 2009 (8:13 pm)
looks like i just missed the 'dec to remember' deals!! this is what the dealer is offering rx350 with premium plus-no navi $2500 down 450+tax/mo-approx $475/mo 12k miles for 48 Mo   also includes buy-out of my honda pilot's last 3 payments ($378/ mo). I'm not happy with the 48 mo.aspect of the offer. did the mf, and residual change that much??? i am new to leasing, so i need some help.

#1281 of 1568 RX400h towing by spriecl Jan 19, 2009 (3:50 pm)
Anyone done any towing with their RX400h? I have an 07 RX400h AWD with the tow prep package and the 3500lb capacity. I wouldn't mind being able to use it occassionally to tow and launch my bass boat (2800lb package weight), but don't how well, or if that would really work. Any similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. It lacks the tow hitch currently so I don't want to pay for it to be installed and not get any use out of it. I currently have an 08 Tundra and am trying to downsize that to a car if possible. Thanks all
