Replying to: bigbwb (Jan 11, 2006 6:48 am) Hi Brandon. This car's lease payment will depend upon the MSRP and selling price of the one that you are interested in (as you want it equipped). I would be happy to give you an idea of what this car's lease payment should be like if you provide me with these numbers. You can find this car's MSRP by visiting the following section of this site: Edmunds.com New Vehicle Pricing. You should be able to get an idea of how much you should pay for one right now by visiting the following discussion: "Lexus IS 250/IS 350: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".   Lexus Financial Services does allow lessees to purchase additional miles at lease signing at a discount to what you would have to pay for them at lease-end, but I don't know what its exact charge per mile is.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: tanginapare (Jan 13, 2006 9:21 pm) Hi tanginapare. One pay leases are a good idea if you feel as though the amount that you reduce your lease payment by is more than the interest or income that you would receive from investing the money that you laid out. Lexus Financial Services reduces vehicles' lease money factors by .00100 for advance pay leases. If you provide me with the full MSRP and selling price of the car that you are interested in are, I can tell you what your lease payment would be with and without paying your entire lease in advance (I know that you wouldn't technically have a payment with an advance pay lease - but we can compare the total cost of your lease).   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#33 of 1166 Re: Leasing IS250 How do I know if a lease deal is a good one? [karmit] by Car_man HOST Jan 31, 2006 (3:23 am)
Replying to: karmit (Jan 18, 2006 6:24 pm) Hello karmit. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the car that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this car's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to work up a sample lease payment on the car that you are interested in using Lexus' actual lease program and 15,000 miles per year for you if you let me know what these numbers are.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: wazabi (Jan 26, 2006 1:15 am) Hi wazabi. Let me begin by saying that you definitely don't want to put $5,000 down on the car that you are considering leasing. I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen during your lease, your insurance company pays off the bank that you were leasing it through and your down payment essentially disappears. The second main reason is that down payments on leased vehicles do nothing to reduce their lease-end purchase prices. So your lease-end purchase option price for your Lexus IS would be exactly the same, regardless of whether you had put $5,000 down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all.   I'd be happy to give you an idea of what sort of lease payment to expect to pay on this car right now, but in order for me to do so I need you to give me an MSRP and approximate selling price for the exact model that you want. You may be able to get an idea of how much you should pay for this car right now by visiting the following discussion: "Lexus IS 250/IS 350: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#35 of 1166 Re: HELP: Lexus IS AWD w/ Nav. and luxury package [mitch1988] by Car_man HOST Jan 31, 2006 (3:29 am)
Replying to: mitch1988 (Jan 27, 2006 6:42 am) Hi mitch1988. I am not intimately familiar with what the market is like for this car right now, but I suspect that you should be able to get one for less than full MSRP. One factor that you have working against you though is the lack of competition in your area. Stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars recently: "Lexus IS 250/IS 350: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Once you have an idea of how much you should pay, let me know and I will use Lexus' actual lease program to estimate what your lease payment should be like on this car for you.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#36 of 1166 money factor by digital_b Feb 03, 2006 (12:50 pm)
what is the money factor for tier 1 on a lease on the IS? and what is the loyalty discount on the lease terms in reality? Replies to this message: Car_man (Feb 19, 2006 5:21 am) digital_b (Feb 19, 2006 1:21 pm) dr85262 (Jul 16, 2006 2:47 pm) Car_man (Aug 02, 2006 1:29 am)

#38 of 1166 IS350 Lease Terms -- Good Deal? by bewitz Feb 10, 2006 (1:09 pm)
MSRP $44,929; discount $2,700; total fees $849; adjusted cap cost $43,078; money factor 0.00235; residual 61% ($27,407); out of pocket 1st month's payment + sales tax (Texas 6.25%). 36 months/36K miles, payment = $600/month.   Other than Texas sales tax is a whopper, how would you evaluate?

Replying to: bewitz (Feb 10, 2006 1:09 pm) you should pay those fees up front and get a lower monthly like I did. I dont have ML but did get XM for free for a cost of 41539 and I will put 2k down for 48 months 12k miles per year for 547 a month. woulf be 570 for 36/36
#40 of 1166 Special lease promotions, 1pay by thshadow Feb 12, 2006 (5:58 pm)
I was looking into leasing an IS250 AWD. I had thought that a 1-pay would eliminate interest charges, but I eventually realized that the residual still needed to be financed.   Are there any current promotions for leasing? I'd consider anywhere from 2 - 4 years if there was a good deal... For a 3 year lease, I think 12k miles, I was quoted a 61% residual, and a .00175 MF for a 1pay, and .00255 MF for a normal lease. Did I read somewhere that the MF should instead go down by .001 for a 1 pay?   I had 1 dealer say that LFS has a special for a 30 month lease, someone else say a special for a 42 month lease, and someone else say that LFS only did 36/48 month leases...   Does LFS do a 30 month lease? Does anyone know the residual/MF?   Thanks! Replies to this message: Car_man (Feb 19, 2006 6:09 am) lexuskid80 (Jan 15, 2008 1:14 am) the_bull (Jan 15, 2008 6:48 pm)
