Thanks for the replies. I'm in Tampa, FL. RX inventories are pretty low here. They lowered the rate to .00265, but that's still equivalent to 6.36%. If only I lived in Ohio... that's closer to what I was expecting to pay!

Hey check it out man, the dealership that told me "our finance guys have to make money too" just sent me another email. Check out the site and see what the deal is. I know the deals vary from region to region so... but just chekc it out anyway. Ask the dealer straight out what the buy rate is and insist on seeing the finance rate from LFS. good luck

I was told Lexus of Orlando was having great lease deals on leftover 2007 RX350s. I have never leased a car before but since leaving the dealer with these numbers I began doing some leasing research. I used a couple of different calculators including the one on this site and my numbers do not match the dealer. When the sales manager called back and I told him out numbers do not match, he said the internet calculators are inaccurate. Here are his numbers. Thanks
 
MSRP-40,400
Price-38,500
Down payment-4300.00
36 months
1200 miles
tax-6.5%
Residual-54%
Money Factor .00265
Monthly Payment---$596.00 less one month

Didn't run the numbers, but somehow I doubt "internet calculators are inaccurate". Maybe within a penny, but big whoop. Try the calculators on http://www.bankrate.com and see if they match. If they do, let the dealer know he's full of BS and walk out.

I just leased an 07 RX350 from Lexus of Orlando.
 
MSRP 40,301
Price 34,525
36mo/12k, same residual and money factor
$1000 down (incl 1st month), $550/mo
 
I was told I was getting one of only two 07s left at the $40k MSRP.
 
$38,500 is way too high for an 07. Lexus of Sarasota quoted me $37,200 for a 2008.

Car_man or anyone else,
 
This will be my first time leasing so I am very new to this process. I am looking to lease a 2007 Rx350 AWD with the following packages: FT,HH,NV,PT,TO,WL,C1. In other words, the options are 18" wheels, heated front seats w/ rain sensing wipers, navigation system, premium plus package, towing prep package, wheel locks, and cargo mat.
 
For the above vehicle I was quoted an MSRP of $38,800 + $6191 for the options + $715 destination charge for a total MSRP of $45706. For a 2 year, 15,000 miles/year lease the dealer is quoting me a total cap price of $42,463 and a residual value of $26,966.
 
My questions:
 
1) Does my total cap. price seem fair?
2) I have one month left on my lease of an Acura SUV. The dealer is offering to pay for the last month on my lease. How should I value this when I enter in numbers in the Edmunds lease calculator? In other words, where should I factor in this number?
2) What should the residual be for the above options on a 2yr 15k/yr lease?
3) What should the money factor be for someone who qualifies for tier 1 credit. What about tier2? I was told I am tier 2 but that they were able to get me into tier 1.
4) How do you (car_man) get the residual values and money factors that you cite? Should I be able to get exactly the money factor and residual values you cite?
5) Why does the money factor depend on the options my vehicle has?
6) On the edmunds lease calculator you have fields for "miles driven per year". Why does this matter if I enter an explicit residual value in the calculator? As I understand it the mileage I buy should only affect the residual value.
 
I know I have asked a lot of questions, but I really appreciate your help!

Hello lineman2. All lessees really have to do is change their vehicles' oil every several thousand miles and perhaps rotate their tires every once in a while to avoid excess wear that they will have to pay for at lease-end. In my opinion, performing any more maintenance than that on a leased vehicle is a waste of money.

Hi cidsparks. In addition to the Lexus RX 350, you may also want to check out the Mercedes ML350, the Acura RDX, and the Audi Q7. I would say the Acura MDX, but there is not currently any lease support available on it. Take a look at the following discussion to get an idea of how much you will have to pay for this truck right now: "Lexus RX 350: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
