It'd be more helpful to us if you gave us the selling price of the car, not the payments. We don't know what state you're in for taxes and if that includes taxes, what your residual and MF are, etc.. so instead of payments, please tell us what the selling price of the car is (before TTL).

I don't know exactly how much under invoice it was because Lexus invoice is slightly higher than what Edmunds says it is. The MSRP was $37,656 (IS 250 with premium, navigation, 18") and I got it for $32,448. Invoice was over $33k, but I don't know how much. I'm in CA. The IS will likely change in the 2012 model based on the 6 year pattern, but maybe someone else has a different opinion now that the ISC is out? I love my car. I got the 250 because I have no use for the 350. Less gas mileage, more money (both on gas and higher payments).. plus with traffic in CA, what good will that extra power do me if I have no room to run the car?

Is that the deal you got on a base car (I assume so since you compared it do the $329 offer which is a base car)? And is $320 after taxes? I really hope that isn't on a base car, cause if it is your dealer got you big time. $320 x 35 = $11200 + $3500 = $14700 total for your lease (did that include title, reg, and fees?). I got a IS 250 with premium, navi, and 18's (MSRP $37,656) for a little over $411 per month (that's when CA tax was 8.25% in March, but if you live anywhere else your tax is way less anyway). $411 x 35 = $14385 + $795.83 (first mo plus title, reg, fees) = $15180.83.. so I'm paying less than $500 more (possibly less than that or even less than you total if yours didn't include tax or fees) for a car worth thousands more.

My deal was based on a Premium Package car. At the time, a 2008 model, the PP included heated/cooled seats, wood trim, xenons, and 18" wheels. My sticker was $35.5k and the deal was $750 under invoice ($320/month out the door). The current lease special (SoCal) I've researched includes the Premium Pack (I think), but that no longer includes the 18" rims or xenons (not so premium).
I think I got a very good deal. No other dealer could match it or find me a Glacier Frost Mica.

Premium Package doesn't include the 18" wheels (I think in 2008 the accessories package also wasn't included stock, but I could be wrong). But didn't you say you got your car in February?? I got mine in March and back in February (I was looking then) they had a $3500 dealer rebate on the 2008 models so you shoulda been able to get your car for $3500 to $4000 under invoice which would have been one heck of a steal! I was looking to do that myself since the only real difference between the 08's and 09's is the turn signal on the side mirrors and something else minor.. but there weren't any 2008's (especially with the configuration I wanted) left to be found by the time I got my car in the end of March.

The 2009 Premiums lost the wheels and headlights. Not sure about the accessory package, but likely lost that too.
$4000 under invoice- no way, not unless it was a salvage, demo, damaged, had some other "catch", was a GM SUV, or built on April 1st.
Other changes for 2009 include new wheels designs, new bumpers, grille, foglights, and taillights. Also new clock, center stack redone, new interior and exterior colors, contrasting stitching on seats, VDIM standard on the 250, can use steering wheel paddles w/o being in "S" mode, and supposedly revised steering and suspension tuning- although no one has ever been able to officially report feeling any changes.

Hi Car Man,
Can you tell what the MF and RV are for Los Angeles? I have been interested in an IS250 to lease with 15K miles/year.
Thanks!
