Replying to: mitch1988 (Jan 27, 2006 7:42 am) I leased an IS250 AWD for $525 a month.. it was actually $500 but I purchased wheel/tire insureance because of Michigan's wretched roads. Anyway, I only paid $1295 at signing and that included the first month's payment, the rest were fees, etc... 12K miles a year.. The Sticker price was a bit of $35K and they bumped it down to a little over $33K. I have Tier 1+ so my MF is relatively low. But $659 sounds incredibly high for a 250AWD.. especially if they are making you do that big of an upfront payment. |

So much for holding out for an '07  I stopped by Stevinson Lexus in Denver and emotions took over...so I ended up leasing a black/black 250 AWD today! The staff was great and they took great care of me. Anways, I think I did ok for my first lease. 3 yrs 18k miles MSRP $35,069 Cap Cost $32,050 Residual 58% $18,990 Money factor .00265 Monthly payment $495 + tax $22.78 Drive off fees $1569 0 money down + 1st months payment This was for the base model w/premium package. I got them to throw in window tint. I don't know how much better I could have done, but I'm pretty happy with the deal. Thanks to everyone for posting on this forum, I learned so much and probably saved thousands from reading your posts.

Hello, I'm thinking about leasing 250 RWD(MT) no Nav, and got couple of questions: 1. Is there a correlation (and what is it) between residual percentage and miles per year driven on the lease. Looking through the posts I see that people leasing with as high as 18k miles per year and still getting 58% residual. 2. Does anyone know if you can get 250 RWD (MT) w/o Nav, without any packages installed on it? Or there is always at least Premium installed on the car? Premium seems to be the most popular package. Is it worth the money? I looked at it , and it does not give you much really in my opinion. 3. And finally, it looks like dealers don't do deals on this model. Is it true? Are they not willing to negotiate at all? Sticker price is what you get? Thanks in advance! TC

Got a quote from Arlington Lexus in Palatine, IL: IS250 RWD with MT + Premium Package $32064 - $5500 trade in 58% residual 0.00265 MF 36 mo 15K miles Total: $399/mo (tax included) Not sure if a few other fees are included like security deposit, aquisition fees, etc. This seems to be right on the money, same numbers pretty much that most lease calculators give on this values. I was told that Base model without any package will be hard to get, up to 90 days waiting period. I also wanted 18in wheels, but looks like they only available for RWD AT or AWD trim. Strange... |
