We're looking at the 09 with 18,000 miles built into the lease. quotes in Rochester, NY and Larchmont NY are close around $700 with nav. No rear entertainment.

Got a quote today from a DFW Lexus dealer showing 62% residual for a 2009 350RX on a 3 year lease. Your prior post showed this for 24 month lease period and 56% for 3 year lease. Has this changed?

I am in process of Leasing a RX 350 and this is the quotation that I got yesterday:

Premium Plus
Navigation (any difference between an 08 and 09 navigation ????? as I see that '09 mentions a new generation (GEN 5) sytem????)
RSES (dealer install option to the head rest)
Other usual items that are pretty much standard
 
MSRP ~48K
Negotiated Price ~41K
 
Lease Terms:
$935 drive off (includes the 1st month and DMV, etc...)
$563 (includes tax) for 47 more months

Thanks for all your help and this forum has been a HUGE help in our desicion process.

My error....I calculated residual from the selling price of the car, not MSRP. It appears that this should always be based on MSRP from my more recent research. So residual was 56% of MSRP (62% of selling price). My bad.

New 09 RX350 by gr8trfool

Just closed on lease. 2009 RX350 with premium, no nav. MSRP $41,116, dealer adds tinting front windows and a few other small goodies for no change in MSRP. $37,200 (invoice +/-$36,400). MF .00225. Dealer applied sales tax credits to lower effective sales tax rate for DFW area from 6.25% to 1.2% ($1825 savings to me). 36 month and 12,000/year. Residual 56% = $23024. Under $490/month. LFS financing. Paid the tax ($500, licensing $185) and $2100 (cap cost reduction) at signing. Also paid 1st payment.
 
Possibly could have squeaked a few dollars more out, but one never knows. Couldn't get to .0019 MF (1% lower interest rate) referenced as the base rate.

Car man - can you post the Lexus Financial Services' May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2008 Lexus RX 400h AWD with 10,000 miles per year?
 
So far, I've been quoted a money factor of .002 and a residual of 53%. Thanks in advance!

May / June Lease Specials - Not Sure How Special by gza001

From the Lexus website:
link title
Special Lease Offer
Now through June 30th, special leases are available on the stylish RX and the technologically advanced RX Hybrid. For details, see your Lexus dealer.
 
I'm specifically interested in the 2008 RX 400h, but the dealers I have spoken to in the past couple of days have told me the lease terms from LFS are not very good. MF of .002 and Residual of 53%. Doesn't seem very 'special' to me.
 
For a 400h w/ Navigation in the NYC area, I've been quoted an MSRP of $50k and net cap cost of $46k. For a 36 month, 10k/year lease with no money down, I'm looking at monthly payments $750/month (including $58/month in sales tax).
 
This seems pretty steep to me, but I'd definitely appreciate some input from others who may have recently leased a 400h or may have spoken to a dealer about current lease specials. Thanks.

Wow, that is barely above invoice? I am struggling to find a Houston dealer that will let a 09 RX350 (NV, PT, HH) go for less than 41k. I'm looking for invoice + $500. Any leads? TIA.

I'm soon going to be in the market for a new RX350. I'm planning on leasing it.
 
What are the current money factors for the lease and what are the residuals? I'm debating both 12 and 15k leases for 36 and 48 months (or something in-between).
 
Are they standard numbers or do the dealers have wiggle room? I want to make sure I'm prepared when I walk into the dealership. Negotiating on the cost of the car is pretty straight forward, but I know that some dealers pad their profits with higher lease rates and lower residuals.
 
Thanks.
