Money factor and residual percentage by cpabuck

I'm close to leasing an IS350 but I'm not sure the dealer is using the correct money factor and residual value. When I go to Lexus.com and use their payment esimator, it comes up with a different price than the dealer's offer. Can somebody tell me what the money factor is and the residual percentage for the IS350 on a 36 month lease? Thank you.

i've been reading of the problems getting good deals on 350's. but anyone have any info on 250. this will be my wife's car and just want the basic car, which they had one last week. the "build a lexus" link has changed this morning for the 18 wheel package. was $740 this morning but now there is only the $914 option.. MSRP for what i want is 32,664.00. we were told NAV is hard to get, but they had one on the lot yesterday for $40k.
 
thanks

I just leased at IS 250. 3 yr lease with at 15K miles/year for 550 month. 300 down. the residual calculated at .62 of MSRP. so owe about 21K after lease expires.

When your temp tag expires you would need to go to your local DMV and register the car in TX. So in your favor it wont be in your loan ( paying interest on taxes) And you have a month to get it taken care of. I guess the downside is you will have to pay the amount due and wait in line at DMV ( Dallas has horrible waiting lines).
 
Also TX taxes on the trade difference, in this case im assuming you wont have one.

Just purchased my IS 250 by jc7098

I bit the bullet and bought an IS 250, RWD from Wilde Lexus in Sarasota. They certainly had the best price in Florida, and from what I've heard the best price nationally. I'll be picking it up Friday or Saturday. Matador Red with black interior. Fortunately I'm only a few hours from Sarasota so I won't need to have it delivered. Don't waste your time with any other dealers -- Wilde Lexus has been the easiest to deal with and their internet salesman is a great guy. Very straightforward. I got the same deal everyone else has been getting.

kyfdx,
 
It appears that you are absolutely correct and that Texas is among the few states to collect taxes for the full purchase price of the car up front. So it may indeed be possible that tax is collected in whole and up front when purchasing a car from out of state.
There is some rumor that neighboring states can collect taxes, but I am not quite sure how that works.
 
bradleyd04,
 
My apologies for the misinformation. While the information I provided may be accurate for most states, it does not apply to Texas.

I've tried to email Wilde's Internet manager with no response. Can you give me a direct email?
