I'm glad that you have found this forum so helpful, Scott. Here's the information that you're looking for. Lexus Financial Services' new buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 ES 350 with 12,000 miles per year are .00065 and 52%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier in your area.

Thank you very much. This forum has helped me learn so much about leasing. I finally felt confident enough to know what would be a good deal. If it weren't for everyone on this site sharing their experiences, I know I would've been ripped off. Thanks again

OTD on a Lease? by yukonballer
Aug 06, 2008 (4:04 pm)

Hi Car_Man,
 
May I ask your assistance on this deal I am working on. This is my first time leasing, on my current camry I only dealt with the OTD price (after TT&L). I was able to get a dealer to go $38k OTD ($40,315 MSRP), I would like to lease as to keep my monthly payments low. But I do plan to purchase at end-term..
My question is, after reading through this forum. How can a dealer go about doing OTD when LFS determines the residual (that later will be taxed when I buy) and therefore I end up paying more? Is the dealer pulling one on me?
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi yukonballer. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. It's true that the depreciation portion of your lease payment is determined by taking a percentage of your car's full MSRP, however the interest portion of the payment is based upon its selling price. The lower your car's selling price is, the lower its monthly payment will be.
 
I hope that this answers your question for you. Since this is your first time leasing, it might be a good idea for you to check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Lexus ES350 vs. Infinity G35x by eleveroon

Fully loaded on both. 24 month lease in NY. Lexus for 515 and G35 for 485. I liked them both. I tested them both. What advantage does the ES350 have over the g35 and what do you guys think of the lease quotes?

I think the ES350 is a bit larger than the G35x, with slightly better gas mileage. Both are very nice cars. Right now Infiniti is giving out the better leases though. Most of their lineup is heavily discounted.

This is my first venture into Japanese luxury cars. I have had 3 Corvettes (in my 20's, that was fun) and then 5 Benzes to follow. I haven't even taken this ES350 for a test drive! However, I do have a question...regarding the leasing. Is it true that dealerships use credit scores as a bargaining chip and that it really doesn't matter? Not that I have bad credit, but I always read that you don't tell them how good or bad your credit score is. What is Tier 1 pricing according to Lexus? Is it a perfect 850 credit score or are they more reasonable? I am in the mortgage biz, so credit scoring is something I know something about. I just want to know from a car buying/leasing perspective what the general guidelines are like. Thanks.
