Re: Leasing during "Golden Opportunity Sales Event" [sdani] [maximafan] by sdani

Maximafan,
 
It may be Premium Plus. I did not go in details because I visited two dealerships and they both said that this is something which comes prebuilt in NorthEast, i.e. the only two options I have is Navigation & No Navigation. The NoNavigation is 43033 sticker (AWD) and Navigation is an extra 2600.
 
As far as the lease, I don't think that I will pay the 2500 down. I will adjust it in my lease payments. The total cost that the dealers are asking beyond the sale price is between 900-1300 in NJ. This includes 600 Bank Fee, which some has mentioned as Acquisition Fee in other forums (non lexus and lexus). Th ethink the 199 documentation fee is something which I won't like to pay, but I would rather negotiate on base price.
 
Based on information I have so far, here is the Golden Sales Event in NJ -> I may be wrong so wait for Car Man to confirm:
 
MF = .00175
Residual =
58% (36 month 12K/year)
56% (36 month 15K/year)
49% (48 month 12K/year)
47% (48 month 15K/year)
Remember to calculate the residual on MSRP (sticker price).
 
UpTo 9 MSDs are allowed which can bring down the MF by 85 to 90 points, i.e. .00090.
 
Now using these numbers you can calculate your numbers.
 
Thanks
sdani

Now that the dust has had time to settle on my lease from two weeks ago, I have a question:
 
The dealer and I finalized the MSRP (the options),color, and the payment that I was looking for over the phone. I had a higher MF and a higher residual in my calculations. The fact that the MF and residual % were lower at the signing didn't make much difference to me. I figured that at least I'd have a lower purchase price in three years if I decide to buy.
 
Since we agreed on the phone, I don't plan to ask the dealer this question. Isn't the residual set by Lexus itself? Why would I get a 54% residual, instead of the 56% that Lexus set?

Car man,
 
My wife is considering trading in her 2003 RX300 lease (8 months remaining at $505) for a 2007 RX350- AWD, Premium Nav package. Here's the deal MSRP- $45683, Sale Price- $40,748, $1651.94 down and $613.75 (tax included) for a 3yr, 12K mile lease. On a 4yr, 12K lease- they are offering $1616 down and $578 (tax included).
 
What's your take? Should we take the deal or pay off the lease as scheduled? thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi, aggieque. I just picked up my new '07 RX.
My 2002 Maxima was totaled out from a wreck I
was involved in almost a month ago.
My saleswoman kept reiterating to me that if
you are a current Lexus customer, that Lexus
is very generous in waiving remaining payments
on existing leases in order to get their
customers into new leases. I don't know how
much they would waive, or maybe since Lexus
vehicles don't depreciate much, then you could
get them to buy your car and see if you come
out ahead that way.
You might want to inquire about this at your
local dealer. Good Luck. The RX350 is a
fantastic car!

maximafan- thanks for the advice. The dealership has agreed to eat the remaining payments. I think we have a pretty good deal but wanted confirmation from the moderators.

Thank you Car_man,
 
I leased an RX350 last weekend. The residual was off by one percent (58 instead of 59), but I figured that it must have been adjusted by LFS.
 
Anyway - for those still on the market I hope the details of my deal will be helpful:
 
RX350 AWD, P+, 18", Heated Seats
3 Years, 36K Miles Lease
MSRP: $43,033
Selling Price: $38,000
Acquisition Fee: $600
9 Sec Deposits: $4500
Driveoff: $830
Monthly Payment: $469 (including tax)

Car_man, How does this deal look? 07 RX350 w/ NAV in So. Cali by jmcmbz
Aug 25, 2006 (10:04 pm)

I'm helping a friend with this deal. This is what I negotiated here in So. Cal. The car is Front Drive w/ NAV, Premium, Heated seats/Rain sensors, 18" wheels. I'm told this is selling price is $600 below invoice but the numbers on edmunds show a much lower invoice. I'm not too worried as it seems competitive and this is the same "selling price" if configured on CarsDirect.com so that makes me feel good about it. The other thing I'm not quite sure about is the 55% residual. I got the 55% from 2 different dealers so I belive the salesman when he tells me it's direct from Lexus financial. But I'm wondering why it doesn't match up with the 56% listed here by maximafan. Maybe it's for California or the vehicle w/ Nav or it's changed mid-month. I think we're gonna go with this unless there is some big discrepency. The car doesn't arrive until 8/28 or 8/29 so hope to hear by then. Thanks Car_man for the info and help and to anyone else as well!
 
MSRP $44,123
Sell Price $38,764
36 month lease term

Total due at lease signing $1,560.77
