Hi 10sfan. Can you tell if this is an advertisement that is being run by an individual dealership or is it a manufacturer sponsored ad? I have found that savvy consumers who comparison shop are usually able to beat the selling prices that manufacturers' advertised lease payments are based upon, and in turn get slightly lower monthly payments. Use this deal as a baseline for your negotiations and try to beat it.

Car man, Thanks for your reply. It appears to be a dealership advertisement. Another dealer in the Chicago area ran a similar add for 36 months term with $2600 cap cost reduction. Apparently they are using a higer cap cost payment with a 36 month term and no cap cost payment with a 48 month term.

Mileage costs by teasip

One topic that I haven't seen mentioned is the difference in cost between mileage allowances. The standard Lexus lease at my local dealer is 10K mi/year however I would like to know in general how much additional expense one incurs to bump it say to 12K or even 15K? Does the increased cost vary per manufacturer? Reason I ask is that my 15, soon to be 16 y/o daughter isn't interested in the red Civic Si sedan that I purchased last year with the intention of giving to her the first part of next year (3 year note with additional funds being put back each month to allow for pay off in 2 years). The problem is that this is a manual transmission vehicle and she argues that a new driver shouldn't have to focus on shifting and driving at this point (argument could go both ways). That being said she might end up with the wife's paid for '04 IS300. If that's the case then both mom and myself will be in the market for two new leases (two lease payments cheaper than car payment and lease payment) if I were to sell the Honda. Another IS for the wife and an ES for me most likely.

Generally, the residual is reduced by 1%, to go from 10K/yr to 12K/yr..
 
Then, an additional 2% reduction from 12Kyr to 15K/yr.
 
This isn't universal, but is true for many makes/models.
 
On a $40K car, each 1% reduction in residual adds $400 to the lease cost, or about $11/mo. + tax to the lease payment.
 
Once you get over 15K/yr., then there is a standard charge for each mile, usually.
 
regards,
kyfdx

Here you go, twodomes. Lexus Financial Services' current 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 .00035 and 49%, respectively. The 10k residual value for this car would probably be 1% higher than that.
