#109 of 472 Refresher - ES350 Lease Data by saprissa Dec 01, 2006 (1:24 am)
Car_Man,   It seems like most of the posts were from this summer, so I wanted to get your thoughts on how much better or worse the deals are currently for an ES350.   1) Is it still resonable to expect $2-3K under MSRP? Does the "December to Remember" make it better or worse?   2) How does one negotiate on the money factor? Beyond Lexus Fin Svcs, I don't even know who else could quote me a figure.   3) Is there a website that publishes the geographic differences in the money factor or residual value? I have a "first round" quote from a sales person in Oregon that has 0.00289 and 58%.   4) What other pitfalls should we watch out for? In particular, I'm concerned with open-ended leases and any fees due to wear and tear. Does the lessee have any leverage in negotiating those end-of-lease fees?   Thanks in advance for your help and all of the useful info in this forum.

Hello I need some help and info on leasing Lexus RX 350. They have now December to remember and I was wondering if that deal can be negotated or that's it. Any idea what would be a good deal so the dealer don't take me to the cleaners. I am very bad in negotiating. I appreciate any good advice Replies to this message: Car_man (Dec 10, 2006 6:50 am)

Replying to: saprissa (Dec 01, 2006 1:24 am) Hi saprissa. Lexus is running its famous "December to Remember"' sales event right now. As a result, its lease offers on most vehicles are pretty good this month. This special lease program should not have any impact upon your ability to negotiate an attractive discount on this car's price. I would not be surprised if you were able to negotiate a $2,000 to $3,000 discount on one if you are in an area where there is a decent level of competition. Make sure to stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for this car lately: "Lexus ES 350: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".   Vehicles' money factors are not negotiable, meaning that consumers cannot get dealers to give them a lower money factor on the vehicle that they want than the one that is published by the bank that they lease through. However, dealers are often allowed to mark up vehicle's money factors to add hidden back-end profit to deals. This is why it is important to know exactly what the buy rate is on the vehicle that you want before you agree to lease it. Right now, Lexus Financial Services' buy rate money factor for the 2007 ES 350 is .00245 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. Make sure that this is the factor that is used to calculate your car's monthly payment. There should not be any regional variation in this car's money factor or residual values right now.   All vehicles today are closed-end leases, so you don't have to worry about your deal being open-ended. Most manufacturers' captive finance companies, like Lexus Financial Services, are very reasonable when evaluating the condition of vehicles at lease-end. The last thing that they want to do is nickel and dime lessees to death, make them mad, and possible cost their parent company a future sale. That would be penny wise and pound foolish. As long as your car is in decent shape at the end of your lease, you should be OK.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: vesines (Dec 07, 2006 6:09 pm) Hi vesines. If you need some tips on how to negotiate a c=good lease, make sure to check out the following article: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car. Always remember that the selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Shop around and negotiate the lowest possible selling price that you can on this car and then have the dealer that you are working with use its "December to Remember" buy rate lease money factor to calculate its monthly payment. You should be able to get an idea of what sort of selling price you will be able to negotiate by visiting the following discussion: "Lexus ES 350: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for this car is .00245 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. Let me know if you have any other questions.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

I'm considering leasing the ES250 however there doesn't seem to be any special pricing/rates for the December to remember event. Does anyone forsee any incentives for January? Replies to this message: Car_man (Jan 17, 2007 3:09 am)

I hate buying/leasing a car. I feel like I am at the flea market even there I can't bargain. I need help Thanks

Replying to: atlantarose (Dec 10, 2006 12:19 pm) Hi atlantarose. Lexus is providing lease support on the 2007 ES 350 in January. If you were to lease a 2007 Lexus ES 350 through Lexus Financial Services right now, its buy rate special lease money factor would be around .00245. Keep in mind though that you have to qualify for LFS' top credit tier to receive this special factor and that Lexus' lease program varies slightly by region.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
