Is the dealer rolling in your 1st mo payment, acquisition fee + dmv fees, or are you paying them at signing?
 
Reason I ask: Based on LFS's current numbers, with the numbers you provided, that lease (including tax) should have you at monthly payments of $499.67. Now, if you capped all of the above into your lease payments so that $0 was due at inception, then $543 sounds more reasonable.
 
If this is not the case, they probably inflated your rate. Be sure that they are utilizing the base rate money factor of .00125.

The drive off amount is roughly $850, incl 1st month payment and Title/Reg fees.
 
The money factor they used is 0.00155 but they do get evasive on that.
 
How do we know the current LFS MF and how to convince the dealer of that?
 
Thanks!

ES350 Lease in Fla by colslick

I've had 2 dealers quote leases with higher MF than the .00125 Apr rate . I don't know if the May rate went up or they are inflating for profit. Does anyone have the May rates for 36/15K. Also they quoted me an msd rate of .0000875 per each deposit instead of .0001. Is this an LFS change or another profit pool for dealer? I know BMW lowered theirs some time ago.
 
Thanks for any help here.

Should I buy the dealer's LexusCare service plan? by car2008

Hello car_man or anyone who has insight into this,
 
Lexus Dealership offers couple of plans with a ES350 lease:
 
LexusCare - prepaid service plan for all routine maintenance 33 per month.
This is about $1580 over 4 years. Is this worth buying? (is the cost of maintenance
recovered by this??)
 
Excess wear and tear coverage plan - to cover scratches or dents or other wear and tear etc upto $5000.
The cost is $16 per month or $800 over 4 years.
 
Do you recommend buying any of the above plans?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
