Here's the information that you're looking for, hotjohn. Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 ES 350 with 12,000 miles per year are .00125 and 49%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
The only cash incentive that Lexus is currently providing on this car is $1,000 loyalty cash for current ES lessees who lease a new one.

Hi bobpro98. Wow, 25,000 miles per year. That's a lot of driving. I agree with the previous poster that you probably should finance instead of lease this car. That's what I would do if I was in your situation.
 
If you are really set on leasing it, you need to find out what selling price you are being charged. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is difficult to tell how much of a dealer discount you are getting. In an area that has a decent level of competition, like the one that you are in, I suspect that you will be able to negotiate a selling price that's fairly close to dealer invoice.

Carman/fellow members.... just about ready to ink a deal for an 09 ES 350 with Premium, Leverson, and Nav as follows; MSRP is $40,070 (total invoice is $35,280)
  15K, 36 months, money factor is .00050, residual is 47%. I was quoted $542 monthly payment if i put down $1000 or $498 a month if i put down $3000. Taxes not included. Unfortunatley i dont know what they are using as the net cap cost.... But given these numbers, how should i respond? Does this sound like a reasonable deal? Im in Southern California. Your help is appreciated. thanks, SD

Hi sjd3. The money factor that you were quoted looks great. You really need to find out exactly what this car's selling price is before pulling the trigger on this deal though. Since you already know what its invoice price is, it will be easy for you to tell if you are getting a good deal.

Essentially everything except the Levinson system. MSRP is $41,494. Sell price $38,765. Money factor .00075 and 49% residual. Lease was $579.00 with dealer including their paying off last month of my existing lease of $608.00. 12,000 miles per year. Get in car for $1,562.878 which is first month, bank fee and plate transfer fee. It is from dealer on Long Island. Can also try Queens Lexus to see if they do better.Good deal? Thanks for any input

#432 of 814 Lease Agreement Correction Notice? by bobsobi

Jun 18, 2009 (8:31 am)

I recently acquired a 2009 ES 350 with the UL package from a Long Island dealership with every factory-installed option except the adaptive cruise and pre-collision system. I got a good deal on it -- a 36 month, 12,000 mile/yr lease, with a 0.00075 money factor, 47% residual and a cap cost $613 under the dealer's invoice (they provided me with a copy of their inventory detail on the car).
 
I recently received a letter from LFS, indicating my lease was being corrected to reflect a 45,000 (15K/yr) mile allowance instead of the lease agreement's 36,000. I called LFS, who referred me to the dealership. Since the finance person who handled my deal wasn't available, I spoke to my salesman, who suggested I enjoy the extra miles. Since I know I won't drive the extra 3,000 miles each year, I told him I was more interested in saving some money instead. He said he would look into what happened and get back to me.
 
So, can anyone tell me what happened here? What can/should I do?
 
Bob

#433 of 814 Is This '09 ES350 Deal A Good One? by kces350owner

Jun 19, 2009 (8:32 pm)

I'm looking to lease the '09 ES350 for 36 months, 12K miles per year. The car has the Premium Plus Package, Navigation, High Intensity Headlights, Power Rear Sunshade, Intuitive Parking Assist, Rear Seat Airbags, Full Size Spare, All Weather Mats, Wood/Leather Steering Wheel and Preferred Accessory Package. MSRP is $41,904. The dealer will sell it to me for $40,500 and I'll reduce it further by putting down $1,000 and using the ES $1,000 loyalty rebate. The interest rate is .00060%. The residual is $20,532. The monthly rental rate without tax is $534.50. Is this a good rental rate?
