Here is the deal that I got: premium only, 10k/36 mo, $2k down, $459 including tax (CA tax of 9.75%), Can I squeeze a little more?

Is there a way to calulate the money factor? by JohnRussell

Lexus is running a Golden Opportunity Sales Event for a 2009 Lexus ES350. Listed below is the ad that includes key information pertaining to the lease BUT it does not provide the money factor.
  
I have called multiple Lexus dealers and get the run around when I ask for the money factor. One said .00020 and another said .00040 is being used in this lease.
  
Given this lease promotion description is there a way to calculate the money factor on my own? Looks to me like all of the key details are included in the ad to calculate cap reduction and residual but I just can't get any lease calulator to give me the money factor that Lexus is using in the ad.
  
If you know how to do this please let me know the math you used.
  
I realize that the $389 monthly payment does not include sales tax, document fee, title, etc..
  
All I want to be able to do is run this basic lease promotion through the Edmunds Lease Calculator in order to come up with the $389 lease payment. Then I can add sales tax, etc, etc....
  
Here is the Lexus Lease ad:
  
"2009 ES 350 Lease Offer.
  
$389mo 36 mos. $3889 due at signing"
  
The ad footnote goes on to say:
  
"Offer based upon MSRP of $37,710 including delivery, processing, and handling. 36 monthly payments total $14,011. 12,000 miles per year. Lease end purchase option $18,478"

John, Can you use Excel? If so, you can back into the money factor, IF you know the MSRP, the cap cost, the length of the lease, the cap cost reduction, the bank fee, (whether it's paid up front or wrapped into the cost) and the residual percentage. So you need to be able to break down the $3889 due at signing.

John, I just ran some numbers. With a $2500 cap cost reduction as part of the $3889, a $3090 discount from MSRP, using a .00020 MF, and no bank fee wrapped into the cap cost, the payment comes out to $389.07, pre-tax.
 
Hope that helps.

Lexus Financial Service and Disposition Fees by smarty666

I was hoping anyone with a 2009 ES lease could tell me if LFS charges a disposition fee on their leases if you decide to return your vehicle and not buy it or not lease a new Lexus when your lease is up? Any information would be helpful!!

I agree with the numbers posted in breaking down the $3889, what was the $1000 for after the cap cost of $2500 and first months payment of $389.07?

2009 ES350 with Premium Plus Package and Navigation (no Mark Levinson -- Ultra Luxury Pkg)

Was looking at the 2009 C300 Sport 4Matic and got a quote on that for 39 months, zero down, $565/month with a Premium 2 Package including AMG sport package, original MSRP $42K
