IS250 AWD Lease by uptempoballer

hello Car_man,
 
I'm in the market for a 2006 IS 250 AWD 36 month lease with about 15,000 miles a year. The dealer gave me a MSRP of $37,619 with these options:
-Premium Package
-Nav (includes Voice activation, rear view camera, and Bluetooth)
-Preferred Accessory Package
I looked on Edmunds and the invoice is $34,690 with the same options. I'm looking to put $0 down, but am willing to pay for tax and tags upfront. Could you please help with the MF and residual value...
 
Also would the residual value and MF change if I go from 15K to 12K or 10K a year in mileage, but still stay at the 36mth lease?
 
I wanted to be able to stay under $500 a month, do you think that is possible???
 
Thanks,

I just leased a 2006 IS 350 fully loaded except for the Mark Levinson radio system (not worth it). The MSRP is $43,589. I put $4,015 down (including 1st months payment), $596 a month, for a 3 year 36K miles. The dealer is Ray Catena in NJ. They were very friendly and treated me like a king. BTW, the car is phenomenal. Got it in less then one week.

I'm looking at leasing an IS 250 AWD with a MSRP of $35164. The dealer is currently offering it for $34414. I would like to lease it for 36 months at 12k miles a year. I probably will put $2000 down. What will or should the numbers look like? Thanks for any help!

The guy I'm working with got back to me on the numbers for an IS 350. I was wondering if it looked like an okay deal and was a bit concerned with the residual value he quoted. I'm also going to be prepaying all taxes and fees so only the cost of the car will be financed.
 
MSFP: 40,784
Actual Price: 39,784
Miles: 15K / year
Money Factor: .00204
Residual: 43%
Payment:
(48 months): $670
(51 months): $650
(54 months): $635
(60 months): $620

IS 250 AWD Lease Offer by riemu7

Car_man,
 
I need your quick advice on this offer - will be heading into the dealership Friday to negotiate. This was what I was offered today:
 
IS 250 AWD standard package/options
Sticker price - $35,164
 
15k, 36 months = $477/month
or
18k, 36 months = $509/month
 
Drive out = $770 + first month + plates/transfer.
 
What do you think? I'd like to offer 18k, 36 month for $450. It's the end of the month, and I'm betting the dealership needs to meet some numbers. We didn't discuss money factor, residual, negotiated price, etc. Just the bottom line payment.
 
Thanks!

Just some follow-up - I went to the dealership today to see how willing they were to sell me the car on the last day of the month. Offered $459 for 36 mo/18k, and then it seemed like I made the sales person upset, and had a visit from the manager. He showed me the worksheet, using a negotiated price of $32,066, money factor of 0.00235, residual of 59%, he showed me a price of $501.23 (which includes 6% state tax).
 
So I plug these numbers into my lease calculator and get $467.34 (again, includes 6% state tax).
 
Regardless, I'm determined to get the car around this price even if I have to wait. Just want to hear others' comments.

Does anyone know what the residual would be on a IS 250 AWD after 36 months/18,000 mi?

IS250 RWD Leasing Questions by stalnaker

Car_Man,
 
I will be in the market for a new car later this year, but I'm starting to do my research now. I really don't have any experience with Lexus Financial Services, so I have some general questions I was hoping you could answer. For the first question, let's use this vehicle as a sample:
 
Lexus IS250 RWD w/Premium Package
MSRP: $33,234.00 (Including delivery)
Actual Sales Price: $33,234.00 (For sake of discussion)
Lease Term: 3 Years/15,000 Miles Per Year
Residual: I'm not sure what the residual is, but can you tell me?
Money Factor: Is it .00265? I think I saw that in other posts.
 
Here are my questions:
 
1. What would my monthly payment be with nothing down, before tax?
2. What would my total payment be if I decided to do the one-pay lease? I believe the reduces the MF by 0.00100, so I want to see the comparison in total cost over the 3 years.
3. I heard somewhere that you can lower the money factor on a Lexus lease by putting down multiple security deposits (MSD), between 2 and 7. Do you know anything about this?
4. Lexus always has this sale around Christmas called the "December to Remember" event. Is this really the best time of the year to lease a new Lexus? If so, how much of a discount do they typically offer?
 
That's all.....thanks a bunch for your help!

IS 350 Leasing Question by autobrowser

I will be picking up an IS 350 in about ten days. The agreed upon price is $34,750 vs. a MSRP of $38,234 (Smoky Granite Mica, 18" Wheels, Premium Package, and Preferred Accessory Package only).
 
I have decided to lease this vehicle through Lexus Financial Services.
 
Could you please provide this month's residuals for both 36mo/12k mi and 36mo/15k mi for this (without navigation package) vehicle? Also, could you please provide the current LFS money factors for Tier 1+ and Tier 1.
 
Many Thanks,
 
Don
