#714 of 812 Leasing deal offered on 2013 Lexus Es 350 by rapman1

Aug 22, 2012 (7:55 am)

I am looking at a loaded Lexus (MSRP $43,702, but have not started negotiating yet!). I asked dealer for lease rate on MSRP as a reference. He came back with $6000 down for my trade in, applied to taxes, tags, dealer fees and lien. He is offering a 36 month lease with 12,000 miles/year of $587/mo. I don't know what the residual is.
Is this a good deal? How aggressive can I negotiate off the MSRP?
Thanks to all from a newbie at leasing!

Thanks for the invaluable insight carman. I got some numbers that are throwing me off from my local dealership in Florida. I'm looking to lease a 2013 ES350 model base package at 12k/year. I asked for both 36 months and 48 month lease plans based on Tier 1 rating. Here's what I got:
 
12K/year 36 Months : Residual value of 62%, MF .00180
12K/year 48 Months : Residual value of 51%, MF .00180
 
The residual value for 36 months seems very high. Does this sound right to you? I've read that leasing values really can't be negotiated and that only the price can for leases. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

For what it is worth the 36 mo residual tracks with what I am getting, but the MF you are showing is being represented as Tier 1+; Tier 1 is being quoted at .00190. From what I have seen, the majority of leases are done at 36 months, after that the the market views the value of the car to have a steep decline. In addition for a period greater than 36-42 months, the argument to finance versus lease, could weigh towards financing depending on one's own personal situation. Perhaps, Car_Man can shed some further light on this...

Hi,
 
What was the selling price and what money factor did they use? Also what residual did they use since it was a 2012?
 
Thanks
 
I am also looking at a 2012
