#1588 of 1656 IS 350 Lease by lawyerbill

Jun 16, 2012 (12:56 am)

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 1656 August Rates by xikingix1

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 1656 Good deal? by xikingix1

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?

#1595 of 1656 Finance Rates? CAR_MAN by greeneyespsu

Aug 26, 2012 (5:10 pm)

Hi Car_Man!
 
Can you please give me the residual and MF for August and September for the 2012 IS 250C? Looking at a 36 month lease, both 10K and 12K.
 
Also, if anyone happens to have any prices that people are paying on this car, that would be really helpful. I have an 09 IS 250 RWD now with premium and nav. My only negotiation point for the ISC right now seems to be to go through Costco.
 
Thanks!

Hi smarty666. The selling price that you were quoted actually doesn't look too bad to me. I'd say that this car probably has a spread of less than $3,000 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price, so the $2,500 and change discount that you were quoted is probably around $500 over invoice.
 
Just make sure that the dealer uses Lexus Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor of .00065 to calculate your car's payment and you're in business.
 
Oh, one other thing...you would be better off eliminating the $2,500 down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers to put as little money down as possible when leasing. Consumers who make large down payments on leased vehicles risk losing part or all of the money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, it is much safer to go with a zero down lease.

Certainly greeneyespsu. Lexus Financial Services' August buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 IS 250 Convertible with 12,000 miles per year are .00165 and 60%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka Tier 1+ credit tier.
 
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
