June Lease Rates by chadnaustin

Does anyone know if Lexus has released the MF and Residuals for the 2010 RX350 for June 2009?
 
I am in Austin, top credit and an existing Lexus owner. My Austin Dealer reported that the best MF being offered by LFS this month on the 2010 RX350 is .00375 for 36mo term (returning Customer with Tier 1+ credit) and he also believed LFS has discontinued the MSD program.
 
Any help out there would be appreciated. I am not even going to start negotiating on price if they are not going to provide a competitive MF.

Hey carman,
 
Do you have the new money factor for 6/09? Also, did the residual stay at 59% for RX with nav and 12,000 miles per year? Thanks

I went to Countyline which is now Lexus of North Miami. I checked with another dealer in the area who could not beat the deal and I accepted the offer. Try them again. I actually found them to be very professional.

Lease ending by sxylxy

The lease on my RX 350 w/Mark Levinson & NAV is 6 weeks away from ending. Any thoughts on my 3 options:
  
1. Avoid paying the registration & all four new brakes by turning it in.
2. Pay the $26K residual, $430 for the brakes, $480 for the registration, $1K to get it "Certified" and hope that there aren't any additional charges during the certification, plus $2,300 Calif. tax.
3. Sell it to a third party and have them pay the tax...pocket the difference.
  
Anyone else face this choice? What did you choose?

New money factor? by newkid300

I have deposits on 2 vehicles (one each at 2 dealerships). I called to cancel one and I was informed that in 6/09, the money factor dropped slightly ( I was already at .00215 from 5/09) and they were going reduce payments by about $16 per month. I then emailed the other dealership and the response was that I did not qualify for the new reduced rate because I was coming out of an ES lease and the new rate was for returning RX lease customers. Anyone hear anything on this? Thanks in advance.

RX 350 lease in Canada by skyice

I am new in this forum. I live in Canada. Today, I went to a local dealership to test-drive a used 2007 RX350 with premium package with 101k. The sale price is CDN$33K. At the end, the dealer told me if I lease a brand new 2010 RX350 with premium package (no navigation) is better than buying an used one. The MSRP for this car is about CDN$ 53,000. He told me about a security deposit program with Lexus, which will offer me a leasing rate as low as 2.1%. Every CDN$500 I deposit in Lexus will reduce 0.2% off the original 3.9% 4-year leasing rate. After I deposit CDN$4500, I can get 1.8% off 3.9%, which is 2.1%. This is the maxium discount rate that I can get. So, under the 2.1% 4-year leasing rate, the monthly payment will be $551 for premium package model WITH 10K down payment and the residual value is about CDN23k. After 4 years, if I decide to return the vehicle to the dealer, I can get my $4500 deposit back. If I buy a used RX, I will pay slightly less amount every month under 3.9% best financing rate they can offer. My question is, is it worthy to lease a brand new RX? I never did that before. So what should I worry about in the lease term? Also, if I go to purchase a RX in the US, can I carry the warranty over to Canada?
  
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi dengdeng. Yes, it appears as though you were indeed lied to when you leased your new RX. That is not entirely surprising. There are good dealers and bad dealers out there. Many of them lie to consumers all the time.
 
I doubt that you are going to be able to alter your lease at this point, but you might be able to cancel your extended warranty. If I was in your situation, I would look into doing so right away. If you could get the extended warranty company to send a refund directly to you, the dealer would no longer get a commission and you'd get your money back.
 
If you are unhappy with the way that you were treated you definitely can send letters to the owner of the dealership and Lexus directly. You also can also post a review of the dealership over in the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of Edmunds.com.
 
I am not aware of any resource that consistently provides accurate information on banks current lease programs directly to the general public, except for the Edmunds.com forums.
