RX 350 AWD by wantmb

CarMan or Kyfdx,
  
Please provide the money factor and residual for a RX 350 AWD (with premium plus and heated seats/rain sensing wipers) for a 36 mos, 15k miles in the state of MD (5% sales tax) with Tier 1 + credit and a current Lexus financial customer. What would be the pre & post tax payment with $0 down (as you always suggest) for a vehicle with a MSRP $43,120 and a selling price of $38,423. I have seen the following lease special:
  
 $429 / mo [1]
36 months - $3,529 Due at Lease Signing
Includes 1st mo. payment, acquisition fee and cap.
cost reduction. Excludes applicable taxes & fees. Good thru 6/30/06.
  
As you always say the specials leave some meat on the bone and I am curious how much meat there actually is?
  
Thanks in advance for your valuable service provided to everyone!

CarMan,
 
I have been quoted the following for a Non Nav AWD RX 350:
 
MSRP- $43, 933
Invoice - $39,500
Residual - $24,141 (55%)
Money Factor - .00175
17k miles
$0 money down.
$623 a month payment for 36 months
 
Does this look like a good deal? How would multiple security deposits affect the money factor or monthly fee. Additionally I am current LFS Tier 1+ customer, would this help? Please lend me your thoughts.
 
Thanks
 
Wantmb

LFS's June RX350 Special Lease by turquoise_e1

Does anyone know what're the MF and Residual % for the LFS's June RX350 special lease ($429/12K/36mon) advertised on Lexus' finance section?
 
I did a reverse calculation, it seems MF is almost 0. Just doesn't make any sense. Please comment if you know. Thx.

Here you go, md_outback. If you were to lease a 2006 Lexus RX 350 AWD without the entertainment system through Lexus Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00205 and 57%. This truck's 12,000 mile per year residual value is 2% higher. The lease program for this truck is the same for models with and without the navigation system. If the state of Maryland falls in Lexus' Eastern region you are in luck, because in that part of the country it has enhanced its normal money factor for this truck to .00170. All of the aforementioned factors assume that you qualify for LFS' "Tier 1+" credit tier.

Hey wantmb. I guess that you don't want an MB any more huh? Here's the info that you're looking for. If you were to lease a 2006 Lexus RX 350 AWD without the entertainment system through Lexus Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00205 and 57%. This truck's 12,000 mile per year residual value is 2% higher. The lease program for this truck is the same for models with and without the navigation system. If the state of Maryland falls in Lexus' Eastern region you are in luck, because in that part of the country it has enhanced its normal money factor for this truck to .00170. All of the aforementioned factors assume that you qualify for LFS' "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
Using the special Eastern region program, an MSRP of $43,120, and a selling price of $38,423, I estimate that this truck's zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $492.
 
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello turquoise. Lexus' nationally advertised special lease for the 2006 Lexus RX 350 AWD without the entertainment system is based upon a lease money factor and residual value of .00205 and 59% (36 months with 12,000 miles per year). As I mentioned in an earlier post, this special money factor is enhanced to .00170 in Lexus' Eastern region. All of the aforementioned factors assume that you qualify for LFS' "Tier 1+" credit tier. It appears as though the money factors that you backed into are a little off.

I am close to leasing an RX 350 AWD w/ PP+ NAV in NJ, MSRP 46,583, I have cap cost of 41,752 (500 over invoice) and the dealer is giving me a MF of .00145 - I have seen other sites giving a MF of .00125 can anyone confirm what Tier 1 MF is? I am also going to use MSD to lower the factor

CarMan,
 
Thanks for the update. We actually pulled trigger on MB but decided to purchase. We are deciding between leasing RX (not sure if we want a small SUV-wifes choice)or my suggestion of purchasing a Acura TL or actually waiting for new Infiniti G35 in the fall. Decisions, decisions. I did receive a RX lease (MSRP $43,933 - selling price of $39,500) offer for 36 mos 17k miles money factor .00170, 55% residual, zero down after tax quote of $623 which I feel matches your comments and is a fair offer. Your thoughts would be appreciated, what do you think about the price and my vehicle/wife dilemma?
 
As always thanks for your service!

Carman can you help? by caligirl5

Hi Carman,
 
I'm considering leasing for the first time and saw your post of the June lease rates for the RX350. My local dealer in Southern CA offered a 36mo/36,000miles lease with a MF of .00198, price=38,687 (including the rear entertainment in each headrest added at the dealership/not entertainment package) and a residual of 24,576.34 . Are there different money factors for the RX350 in Southern California? The MF I saw posted here on Edmunds was .00125 . Thank you for any help you can provide.

Just Leased! by pialphaphi28

Just got back from the dealership with a 07 RX350 FWD w/ Premium Plus and Nav. in Millenium Silver/Gray. Package also included the following additional options: heated front seats, rain sensing wipers, 18 in alloy wheels, cargo mat and wheel locks.
 
MSRP: 45,023 (includes 695 delivery and processing fee)
Gross Cap: 39,911
Residual: 23,862.88
Money Factor: .00145
36 months
18,000 miles/yr
$0 Money Down
Tier 1 Credit
 
After-tax Monthly Payment: $582.66
 
I think this was a great deal considering im in Southern California. Could've gone even lower but I'm satisfied. Plus, got to return a leased GS300 six months early with remaining payments waived. Still fiddling with the Nav and buttons and everything, but I'm loving it so far. I read the posts in this forum diligently and it definitely helped throughout the research process. So, returning the favor and maybe someone else may find it useful. Thanks Edmunds and Inside Line and everyone else on this board!
 
Any feedback on these figures will be greatly appreciated. =)
