Hello roman7. In the areas that I have seen Lexus' December to Remember lease program for, Lexus Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 LS 460 L with 15,000 miles per year are .00230 and 50%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year is 2% higher.

Hi sprinkler13. A 48 month lease of this car is a much better idea than a 60 month lease for a number of reasons. First, Lexus' special lease money factors are only available for up to a maximum of 48 months. Also, 5 years is a long time to be committed to one vehicle. A lot can change over that period of time. You could want a new vehicle because your lifestyle changes or you just plain get sick of your current one. Your commute could change causing you to go way over your mileage allowance, etc... Furthermore, Lexus' bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage is only available for up to 48 months so you go with a 60 month lease you will have to pay out of your own pocket to fix any non-powertrain problems that your car has.
 
In the areas that I have seen Lexus' new December to Remember lease program for, Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 48 month lease of a base 2008 LS 460 with 15,000 miles per year are .00230 and 53%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. At lease signing, you will have to pay your car's first month's payment, LFS' $600 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees. I believe that LFS is waiving its security deposit requirement for Tier 1+ leases right now. The destination charge is considered to be part of your vehicle's price ant it will be included in its capitalized cost and become part of your monthly payment rather than be paid at signing.

#34 of 220 Carman? by ocautoseeker

Looking at a 2008 Base LS460 ($68,705) + it has an ADM sticker of $2995 for chrome rims. Any idea how much mark-up is in those rims? How much can be residualized?
 
I saw your previous post stating the .00230 MF and 53% residual for a 48/15k lease. Do you have numbers for a 36/15k lease? If we've leased with LFS in the past, is that the Encore Program and what does that entitle us too?
 
Appreciate your help!!!!!!

Carman,
 
Just wanted to point out as to not confuse anyone... you stated in your last post that the residual on an LS460 base with terms of 48 mo/15k lease was 53%. You meant 43%, right?? 53% is the 36/15k residual.
 
Thanks so much for all your insight; it has proven to be very helpful!!

Does anyone know about the cash rebates of $50-$250 on the Lexus lease special for the December to Remember event? The rebate is 50-250 off the lease price (depending on the price of the vehicle. I was told it is for the duration of the lease term.

Based on current Lexus Financial money factors, residuals and assuming a cap cost around $2500 over invoice (based on a vehicle that MSRP's at around $69k) you're looking at between $950-$1000/mo with drive offs only.
 
Again, this is just a ballpark... and it's assuming a base model with no additional items such as chrome rims, window tinting, etc.
 
If you have an exact car picked out and know the MSRP, I can run some numbers for you and get you a better estimate.

Too Low. If that car had been on a 3yr, 15,000 mile lease the residual would be approx 32,500. Either your car is an ugly ducklin or has damage or your dealer is trying to make too much on you,
