Hi fbueller. The dealer invoice price for a 2008 Lexus IS 250 RWD with an automatic transmission, Premium Pkg., and a spoiler is $30,224. That puts the $31,066 selling price that you were quoted for this car at just over $800 over invoice, which is pretty good. You can always hop on over to the "Lexus IS 250 / IS 350 Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion for more feedback on that aspect of your deal.
 
Once you are comfortable with the selling price, make sure that the dealer is using Lexus Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor to calculate your car's monthly payment. I believe that LFS' buy rate for a 36 month lease of an '08 IS 250 RWD AT is currently around .00055 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.

Hi blacktypes. Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 IS 250 RWD with an automatic transmission and 12,000 miles per year are .00055 and 54%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.

Carman,
 
Does the 54% residual for 36 months and 12k change with NAV? Also, do you have the residual for 24 months and 12k with NAV? My dealer told me that they could not do a 24 month lease with less than 15k miles.
 
Thanks!

When I purchased my 2006 IS350 (18in wheels, premium package, preferred accessories) MSRP 38234, my cap cost was 35988. The residual is 22175 on a 36mo/12000mile lease, or 62%. My paperwork from Lexus lists a "Rent Charge" of 6245 which I assume is equivalent to interest. How do I convert this rent charge to a money factor. No money down monthly payment is $575 w/o tax
 
Did I get a fair deal or should I never go to this dealer again? Thanks.

He emelkun,
the residual is a percentage of MSRP, not cap cost. so actually your residual was 58%. something doesnt exactly add up from your numbers but your money factor was in the range of 0.003 to 0.0033. Or ~ 7.2% to 7.92% .
 
Rent Charge = (Net cap cost + residual )* MF *36
or
MF = Rent Charge / ( (Net cap cost + residual )*36)

HI,
 
This is the deal that I got from my dealer for an IS 250 AWD:
 
The Luxury package
The Premium package
The Navigation Package
Ipod-Interface kit
weather tech floor mats
preferred accessory package
rear lip spoiler
XM Radio
 
MSRP: 42,000
Ca Cost: 39,000
Money Factor: .00107
12 k miles for 48 months
 
I got it for 530 a month (taxes included) with the dealer making my first payment. Total out of pocket was 87 dollars for license plates. What do you think? Was it a good deal?

Hey friedmike. I don't believe that the addition of navigation has any impact upon Lexus Financial Services' residual values for this model. LFServices' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 IS 250 RWD with an automatic transmission and 12,000 miles per year are .00055 and 61%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. I don't see why LFS wouldn't do a 12k lease for 24 months. I have a feeling that the dealer that you spoke with was wrong.

I don't have exactly all the numbers but I am getting an 08 IS250AWD with premium Package and Navigation for 36 mos/12k yr for 459 month including NY sales tax. Out of pocket includes first month, 600 app fee and dmv fees. How does this sound?

Buy-out at lease end by socalcpa
Aug 22, 2008 (9:22 am)

I intend to buy my leased IS 250 when the lease ends in 2 months. When I purcahsed my BMW at the end of its lease, I was able to: 1) turn it in to BMW Financial Services 2) Have a dealer buy it from BMW FS for less then the residual and 3) sell it back to me for the residual. In the process the car was certified for "free" as a CPO (extra warranty) and I got a promo financing rate.
 
I was hoping to get some info on whether Lexus dealers are able to purchase turned-in leased cars from Lexus Financing Company (or whatever the name of this company is) for less then the lease residual to either get a lower price then the residual or extended warranty or promo financing.
 
I contacted 2 fleet managers at local Lexus dealerships but both said that I should just buy the car directly from the Lexus Financing Co. However, I am not sure that they fully understood my question.
 
I'd appreciate any insight on this issue.
