Sounds like a good deal AM09. Couple of questions - Is this for the model with navigation? Also, does the $443 include tax? Lastly, did you have to pay any other fees or was all of it taken care of by the loyalty bonus?

Base model with about 1K worth of options - mats/wheel locks. etc.
443 was with taxes (7%). 36 payments of $443, no other fees. Hope this helps.

#674 of 823 general ny leasing question by ezerics

I have a sort of general question. I leased a 2011 ES 350 back in May of 2011. I ended up with 545 a month. I purchased on Long Island, NY. I visited a few dealers and they explained that the 'base' model around here typically includes wood trim and sunroof, leather, etc. So if that is the case how are you supposed to judge the price. Would you basically use the Edmunds base price and then add the price of the luxury package to that? I ended up getting the Nav system and paying 545/mo. I put zero down but I had some out of pocket cost for sales tax and various fees. I was happy at the time.
 
Then in Dec. 2011 my boss leased the same vehicle from the same dealer and got it at 520/mo but claimed that he did not pay any sales tax. Ever since I've wondered how he paid nothing down or even sales tax. Is this possible? I've tried to look into it but I thought you were required to pay NYS sales tax up front.
 
Could someone please explain how NYS sales tax works in a lease and what are the permitted acceptable fees that we should pay at the commencement of a lease.

The sales tax is paid upfront (in NY), but you don't have to pay it upfront, directly..
 
The bank will pay it, and then add that amount on to the CAP cost of your vehicle..

Kyfdx is absolutely right. Your boss definitely did not get out of paying sales tax...the dealer just baked it into the lease.

#678 of 823 Lexus leasing by msbev

May 13, 2012 (5:33 am)

I visited a lexus dealer to inquire about the 2012 ES 350. with and without NAV
 
for the no nav i was quoted 3157 down excluding taxes and fees with a payment of 389.00 with nav the price went to 4000 down and 529. per month. i am currently in a 2009 maxima lease with ends in september with 3 payments of 375. the dealer offered to excelerate the lease to put me in the lexus. i felt a little frustrated bc of the following:
why is the lease mileage on 10000 per year?
if the nav is only 2500 more why did the payment over 36 month total 5040
with a credit score of over 700, I feel that I should have gotten a much better payment quote.
please help. I would like to know what the common month payment for a 2012 es with nav is and what ke questions i should be asking..
Thanks
