Hi Car_Man,
 
What is the current residual and money factor for IS250? Looking for 12k or 15k yearly mileage allowance.
 
Thanks!

Hey cbuyer617. The selling price that you were quoted on this car looks great, but money factor that you were quoted is a little on the high side. Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 36-month lease of a 2012 IS 250 AWD is only .00090 for consumer who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
Try to get the dealer to use this selling price and the lower money factor. BTW, I think that the waiver of the first month's payment on leases is available for all of June, so there isn't as much of a hurry to close the deal as you may have been lead to believe.

Hi f4ng. Lexus Financial Services' June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 IS 250 RWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00090 and 58%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.
 
In June Lexus is waiving the first month's payment on leases of this car.

#1588 of 1657 IS 350 Lease by lawyerbill

I want to share that I was able get my wife a IS350 F Sport MSRP $46k lease for 36/months 15,000 miles at $499/month with down of $3,500. At 3 other dealership, we were quoted $580-$620/month. This deal was in Orange County, Ca. (Newport Lexus) The key was our willingness to walk away from the table each time when we didn't get the price we wanted. Without this type of forum and knowledge, consumers are helpless.

Hi Car Man,
What are the July numbers on an IS250 RWD in California for a 3 year, 10k mile per year lease? T1+ credit.
And do you know the incentives running and their end date?
 
Thanks

Hello elvisbh. According to the latest information that I have seen, Lexus Financial Services' July buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 IS 250 RWD with 10,000 miles per year are .00090 and 60%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka Tier 1+ credit tier.
 
As far as cash incentives go, Lexus has $1,000 loyalty cash on this car and it is waiving the first month's payment on leases of it.

#1591 of 1657 August Rates by xikingix1

Aug 10, 2012 (11:56 am)

Hi Car_man,
 
Can I have the August numbers on an IS250 RWD for a 24 and 36-month/10k and 12k mileage lease?
 
Thank you in advance.

#1592 of 1657 Good deal? by xikingix1

Aug 10, 2012 (1:31 pm)

Also, I was able to get the following deal:
IS250 RWD Base, 27-Month/10K yearly mileage
$2235 due at signing (complimentary first months payment)
$329/mo thereafter
 
Wasn't able to get any other numbers, seems like an okay deal, but probably could do better? Thoughts?
 
With the current student incentive, I can snag a brand new 2012 base for $30920, current invoice is $32518, MSRP is $34965. I'm just worried how the upcoming body change will effect resale.

Hello xikingix1. Lexus Financial Services' August buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2012 IS 250 Sedan RWD with 12,000 miles per year are .00065 and 69%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are .00065 and 59%.
 
The residual values for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

Hey Carman,
 
I was hoping I could get your input on the following lease quote on a 2012 IS250. I think I can do a little bit better but wanted your take on it.
 
2012 Lexus IS250 AWD
Total MSRP: $43,521
 
Sales Price: $41,000
 
15k miles per year
$2,500 down payment
 
36 months = $483 a month Buyout (end residual) = $24,806.97
39 months = $484 a month Buyout (end residual) = $23,501.34
42 months = $395 a month Buyout (end residual)= $22,630.92
 
I was thinking I could better on the sales price, considering someone else just got $4k off a IS. What do you think?
