So far so good with GS450h. I am taking it in for its 1k checkup tomorrow. I have been getting about 25.5mpg on each tank in my combination city/highway driving (where my 1999 A4 2.8 got about just over 21 and my 1998 Jag XK8 cvt got just under 21).

It looks like there is a $2,500 dealer incentive right now on the 2009 GS 450h. Car_man, can you please post the current residual and MF for the 36 month lease with 12K miles? Thank you.

Hi dulnev. There was a $2,500 dealer cash incentive on the 2009 GS 450h. Unfortunately, Lexus decided not to extend that dealer cash when it introduced its new September program.
Lexus Financial Services' September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 GS 450h with 12,000 miles per year are .00030 and 43%, respectively.
Having said this, I heard a rumor that Lexus had enhanced its lease program on all models yesterday. I'll look into that. If you'd like, post a reminder for me in this discussion in a day or two and I'll let you know what I have been able to find out.

There is, dulnev. Lexus boosted its residual values on all models by 3% across the board through the end of the year.

Car_man, I just went ahead and ordered the 2010 GS 450h. I believe I got a very good deal -- $1,000 over invoice. But now I will have to decide whether to buy the car when it comes in or to lease it. Have the lease programs for 2010 GS been released yet? Thank you.

I have had my 2009 GS450h since March (purchased for about the same deal you got), 7800 miles on it so far, and it has been great. Computer says overall 26.5mpg, which is a little better than the EPA ratings.

Hey dulnev. $1,000 over is a pretty good deal. I have seen the lease program for this car. Lexus Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 GS 450h with 15,000 miles per year are .00255 and 53%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.

Thank you very much for the information, Car_man! This is pretty encouraging. The residual I had on the 2007 GS450h was 52% with 12K miles. Do you happen to know how many percentage points Lexus adds to the residual for going with 12K miles as opposed to 15K?
