LEASING IN LOUISIANA???? by flash13

looking into getting some lease numbers on 2008 RX 350; been in an RX for 2 consecutive 36 month leases which ends in early April. I normally put $0 down and Lexus of New Orleans waived my last security deposit with 15,000 miles......some of the figures I'm reading seem awfully low?? i was quoted $739/month with 0 down, 0 security and 15,000 mile per year?? premium plus package........GOOD or BAD????

It's hard to tell with out knowing if we are talking about the same vehicle. See my post #550. Do you have a sales tax in Louisiana?. I have been getting bought out of my 39 or 36 month leases after 2 years. I am turning in a 2005 with 9 months left. My dealer says I am able to do this as they need my car and can sell it for more than my residual value plus the remaining payments; and the sale tax is reduced on the 2008 because of the trade in of the 2005. Don't know if this helps and I don/t know if I'm getting a good deal but I love driving a new RX every two years without putting any money down!

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
 
I am actually in the S.F. Bay Area as well. I guess that means the "Build you lexus" does acurrately reflect the availability of the "options'.

Your monthly payment includes depreciation of the car and interest on the loan(this is REALLY NOT a lease) plus profit for the dealer. the dealer may make a profit also on the resale of your older vehicle.
 
These cars depreciate about $5,000 the first year. Dealers normally offer trade in value, which is usually about 80% of the current retail price. Interest on a $40,000 loan at 7% is $2,800/yr. So, your minimum payment must be at least $7,800/12, or $650. The dealer is making a profit, so add another $100 or so per month. It could be a good deal, but I doubt that the dealer really has the customer as his first concern. The dealers make large margins on late model certifieds that are still in factory warranty. The dealer will take a good used car like yours and likely even sell it at or near the current NEW car price to unsavy prospects who don't do their homework.

I live in Los Angeles and just got into a new lease this weekend on a 2008 RX 350 - standard premium package w/ navigation.
 
Invoice: $39,385
MSRP: $44,146
Neg. Price: $39,750
Cap Cost: $39,750 + $595 (bank fee) = $40,345
Res. Value: $25,605
Term: 36 mos
Mileage: 12,000/year
MF: .00202
Sales tax: 8.25%
Payment: $587.44
 
Also got them to take my Audi, which had 5 payments left on the lease, as a trade-in, so I had no out-of-pocket.

let me reiterate......the 2004 RX 330 lease which is up (i'm selling to a friend at pay-out which is $21,900) is far below what i could have got had i tried to sell outright. my sales tax in this area is 8.5% ......my quote is for a 2008 RX, 15,000 miles/yr, no security, no money down (drive in, sign, drive out) 1st payment only of $739/mth wiht everything roled in......total cost with destination charge is $43,056 which is the premium package plus. any help would be appreciated, as i hate to sound ignorant but it seems as though a lot of you have done a lot of homeowrk in this area.
thanks

you're getting ripped off. I got a brand new 2007 AWD white/nav/premium--2 miles on it for around 38, $40,300 with tax tags about a month ago.

Where did you get this vehicle w/ options for 38k? Please send contact info if within driving distance to South Carolina. The local dealership in Columbia, SC is only selling 2008's for MSRP and 2007's 2K under MSRP. I know they are inflating and that my patience will pay off in the end when the right deal is negotiated. I wonder if it will take a couple more months of the 2008 being out for 2007's to drop significantly?
