#1618 of 1657 early return lease deal by sgs55

Dec 19, 2012 (2:21 pm)

I was just called by the dealer who leased me my Lexus RX 350 Sept 2011. He said they are low on used vehicles and are offering to take back my care and replace it with a 2013 model for the same payment and lease time that I have now (or I can up it to 3 years at same rate). They wil pay first payment and 1 year registration. I have to do it before 12/31. this was my first lease. My monthly is $550 (the MSRP was $43,120.00). Is this worth it?

#1620 of 1657 Did I get a good deal IS 250 AWD? Could I have any positive Equity rt now? by carhelp88

Jan 11, 2013 (8:44 pm)

Hi everyone I posted back in March about my 2012 Lexus IS 250 AWD and just was looking over my contract today and read this forum and saw that I hadn't given enough details for an accurate assessment to be made. I hope that this information can help anyone currently looking for a new IS and result in an even better deal!. This info is posted further down. I appreciate anyones help!
 
My 1st year of lease be completed on March 13th and the car currently has only 9,600 and I am anticipating it will be around 11,000 by march 13th. If I do end up being 4,000 miles below my allotted amount I was wondering if the cars value might be higher than the current buy out price on my car.
 
I also want to exit my contract was wondering if I might have positive equity on the car which would mean that I could sell it for greater than or equal to the current buyout price offered to me right now which is currently $35,504 (sorry for spelling that out) .
 
I am having trouble calculating how they got this amount but this information could help. I know I could use swapalease too but i think the site has already been flooded with too many other posters but who knows.
 
Not sure which to use
Gross Cap Cost= $39,876
Adj. Cap Cost = $38,876
 
Total Lease Depreciation $13,245
Rent Charge $2,554 or 10mnths = $709 or 11 months = $780
  
I have paid for 10 months of my lease and my 11th payment is due tomorrow so I'm not sure if that has been added into the calculation. Do they factor in the michigan tax I'm paying or is it the base monthly pmt rate (shown below that is used) w base, 10mth =4380 or 11mnth 4845 or including tax 10 mnth $4,650 or 11mnth = $5,115.
 
I leased a 2012 Lexus IS 250 AWD prem pkg. with the Navigation pkg which comes out to MSRP of $42,800. Its a lease of 36 months and 15k miles per year.
-Paid $1510 for at signing - main costs were 1st month rent $465, Acquisition Fee $700, Doc fee $190
 
My monthly payment ended up being $465 a month including taxes.
 
MSRP=$42,800
Adj. Cap Cost = $38,876
Residual $25.630 -> is this aggressive?
Depreciation= $13,245
Rent Charges= $2,554
Money Factor = .0011 or I believe an effective interest rate of 2.64%
 
Total of Dep and Rent = $15,800 / 36 months = $438 per month +6% tax = $465 month

Hi,
Do you know what the current top credit lease factors are please?
 
Separately, can you negotiate for part of the dealer incentive?
 
thanks,

Hi Carman,
 
Can you please provide the money factor and residual value for 2013 IS 250 RWD, 36 months, both 12k and 15k miles? Are there any incentives for this model?
 
Thank you.

Hi ktdray. Lexus Financial Services' February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 IS 250 Convertible with 15,000 miles per year are .00170 and 60% for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
I don't think that Lexus is currently providing any cash incentives on the '13 IS Convertible.

Hello aong. Lexus Financial Services' February lease money factors for the IS Sedan vary by region. If you tell me what state you're in, I can be more specific about what this car's current program is like.
 
For now I can tell you that Lexus is currently providing a $750 cash incentive on leases of 2013 IS Sedans.

Just took lease of a 2012 IS350 yesterday! I felt like I got a grey deal. This is for OC AREA.
 
Originally had a 2010 IS250 up for lease. Had 38k miles and was upside down. Since I took care of the car, it was in mint condition. Went to Carmax to get it appraised and got $24k for it. Yesterday I went into Lexus and they wanted to give me $21k until I showed them the Carmax price they appraised me for and they matched it. I owed $23k on residual.
 
On the 2012 IS350, that I haven't seen yet, was a black on black f-sport when I got to the dealer. MSPR was $46k, sold it to me for $38k. Put $2k down and got $512 with tax 12k miles a year. Residual is $24k after 36 month Lease.
