I think that your offer is reasonable. I just turned in my 2007 RX350 and got a new one for $42.2 w/Prem, Comfort, NAV, cross rails, etc... ($46.1 MSRP) Very happy with it. I looked at many, many cars before making my decision, and Lexus really represents a nice blend of safety, mileage for its size and comfort.
 
You may have trouble finding the heated and cooled seats without the "Comfort Package". It was hard to find here in Southern California for me anyway. The vehicles typically came in one of three variations.

Thanks! It's funny....there are a bunch of RX's in the showroom with that exact configuration, so guessing they think that may be a good seller here in S. Fla.....gotta tell you, the idea of cooled seats here sounds very enticing!!!
 
I have been looking at a lot of similar/smaller suv's and am finding it hard to beat...price is higher, but looks to be worth the extra when you really start comparing.....
 
Dealer e-mailed me back he can make me an offer just a litttle over invoice, he'll show me the invoice to earn my business, so we will see......we cannot go in until next week, but getting all my Edmunds ducks in a row!

Hi hockey_man. Lexus Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor for the 2010 RX 350 is still .00215. Keep in mind though that this is a special money factor for loyal customers. Its factor for non-returning customers is .00255.

Yes, scrapluv, the special lease money factor on the 2010 RX 350 is only available for up to 36 months. Lexus Financial Services' 48 month buy rate should be around .00255.

Hi thors. Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor on the 2010 RX 350 for non-returning customers is .00255 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
This truck's residual value varies by term, trim level, and mileage allowance. LFS' current 36 month, 15,000 mile per year resid for a 2010 RX 350 FWD without the entertainment system is 57%.
 
MSD means multiple security deposits. LFS lets lessees make additional deposits on their vehicle, with each extra deposit (up to a maximum of nine) reducing the money factor that is used to calculate their vehicle's monthly payment by .00010 (the last time that I checked). Making MSDs is a much better way to lower your vehicle's monthly payment than making a capitalized cost reduction. Unlike down payments you actually get MSDs back at lease-end.

Car_man,
 
Sorry - a quick question on the MSD....when I am ball-parking/figuring out my probable lease payments (thanks again to your helpful calculators!), where do I plug in the $ amount of MSD's I plan to make? Let's say, for example:
 
Cap cost is $39,000 (let's say MSRP is $42,500)
Residual 57% (I'll use yours)
MF is .00255 BUT I want to make the max MSD's of 9, making my MF .00165
 
Where does the MSD $ come off when figuring? Or am I just missing the boat here?
 
Thank you!

The MSDs just change the money factor... To get the difference, just use the lower money factor in your calculations..

Thanks.....
 
Am I correct in assuming just like all other security deposits, you just pay the amount up front? Do you write a check to the leasing company for the amount?
 
As I am researching, I am noticing lots of ads (throughout the country) that have lease deals with $0 security deposit....so......what kind of $ are we looking at putting down then? How do you know how much then they will be and do all dealers do this?
 
Thanks!
