Hello thefifthape. Please see my previous posts for the info on the 2009 IS 250. Lexus Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 IS 350 with 15,000 miles per year are .00120 and 50%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2010 IS 350 are .00220 and 57%.
 
The numbers for an identical lease of a 2010 IS 250 RWD are .00220 and 60%.

redlinepb:
 
You left out a few important items:
 
Did you get quoted the BUY lease rate money factor? (should be .00120 for Top Tier - over 720 credit)
 
Are they calculating the payment using the correct residual valve %? (should be 52% with 12k per yr)
 
What is your county/state tax %?
 
The "sales" price - does that include the $700.00 acquisition fee??
 
So to answer your question: NO
this is NOT a good deal!!
 
IF:
the "sales" price does not include the acq fee (you have to add it in)
and the #'s I have plugged in (MF, residual %) are correct then your BASE payment (w/o taxes) should be:
$524.17
add crazy California, LA county 9.75% tax rate and you come to $575.28
 
Hope this helps!!
 
BTW: The 'sales' price you were quoted, is that INVOICE, below invoice or above invoice??
Remember, the lease monthly payment is calculated on the negotiated selling price of the car - DON'T BE A PAYMENT SHOPPER!!!

Well the first thing anyone who leases will tell you is it is not a good idea to put money down on a lease especially that much. When you go in have them factor the numbers with NO MONEY DOWN
 
Other info we need to know to help figure out your monthly payments would be
 
What is the MSRP price of the car
What is the selling price of the car - the selling price of the car is what you want to be your main concern. Get this as low as possible to get your payments lower

As redlinepb said, we really need the MSRP and selling price to know if that's a good deal. Please post back with that info and we'll be more than happy to help you.
 
I know I've posted this over and over, but just so you have a guideline, I got my 2009 IS250 back in the end of March (so 7 months ago when there were no 2010's even close to coming out!) with premium, navi, and 18" wheels. It is MSRP $37,656 and it was sold to me at $32,448.
 
For a little more info.. my MF was a promo at .0007 and I paid it down to .00006 (.144%!!!) with 9 MSD's so my interest is only a little over $100 over 3 years! My payments (in SoCal) are $417.07 per month and my driveoff was first month, title, reg. (~$700)
 
If you're willing to put down $3000 I would recommend using it as MSD (multiple security deposits) to pay down your MF so you pay less interest over the life of the lease (it really is a significant amount you'd save!). Good luck!

greeneyes:
 
Please help me understand the the MSD rate negotiation strategy. Are you actually going out of pocket paying MSD in lieu of making a cap cost reduction down payment? What happens if you total the leased car...in that case what happens to the MSD? Do you get 100% of the MSD back at the end of the lease, assuming the the car is returned without any lease return defects?
 
Thanks in advance for the response.
