Honestly, I'd fly out to CA and get a good deal. There are about 6-10 dealerships in the LA area, so competition is pretty fierce. I will tell you though, that all of them told me that these deals were only good through 6/30/08, so not sure if you can jump on a plane this weekend. I was thinking they may not as be as pressed for quotas in July, what with the 4th of July weekend sales and all, so June seemed like the best month to me. who knows though, good deals are always out there.
good luck!!

I'm zeroing in on a 36 mo lease/12k miles a year for an IS 250 with NAVI.
 
Prices seem to be hovering around $450 a month (w/o tax) and $0 out of pocket (except ~$750 for 1st mo and official fees). What do y'all think??

If will take some time to read this forum or any leasing forum you will find that no one can tell whether a lease is a good deal without knowing the price of the car that the dealer is selling you. If you only negotiate the price of a lease payment you open yourself to getting into a bad deal.
 
You need::
 
Publicly Available Items
MSRP
Invoice Price
Current Manufacturer Residual
Current Manufacturer Lease Factor
 
Items particular to your deal
Selling price (in these car buying times you should be around invoice on most cars)
Lease factor dealer is quoting you (dealers can mark this up)
Dealer doc fees
Local sales tax, and whether you pay up front or every month.
Out of pocket money up front.
 
You also need to remember that navigation has little residual value at the end of a lease, so you wind up paying for most of the navigation during the lease term.

Researching the deals on this forum has been invaluable in my lease negotiations, so I am hopeful that this post is helpful to some end-of-month IS250 shoppers.
 
Here is the deal that I just completed:
 
IS250 RWD, Auto
Smoky Granite Mica/Sterling Leather
18" Alloy Wheels
Navigation
Premium Package
Preferred Accessory Package w/ Applique
 
36 months/10k miles
Tier 1+ Credit
 
Sticker = $37,439
Paid: $32,250 + $600 acquisition fee = $32,850
Drive-Off (all fees included) = $1,400
Monthly Payment : $369.49 + 8.5% tax = $400.90
Money Factor = .00125
Residual = 57%
 
Magnussen's Lexus Of Fremont
 
I dealt with one of their Internet Sales Consultants and I have to say that the process was very straightforward. No haggling and everything was exactly as promised when I went to pick-up the vehicle. Best of luck everyone!

got great lease package ($390/month) by lexusfan6

Got a great lease package this evening; premium, nav, BT, HID, XM, black with tan: $390/month + tax, $3000 OTD (included 1st month); 12K/36 months. MF = .00125. Excellent credit.
 
Great experience; negotiated price online with them in the morning, picked up the car in the evening. Entire deal took 1 hour.
 
(After working with 5 other local dealers, Lexus of Riverside (So Cal) was the only one that honored the true nationally advertised lease AND leased it with nav and XM for $31/month more.)
 
Believe this might be one of the best deals I've seen on the forum. Am thrilled!
