For those of you who are interested, I believe that Lexus Financial Services lowered its standard lease money factor, what you would have to use to lease an LS 460 right now, to .00235 for customers who qualify for its top credit tier at the end of February. This may vary a little by region though.

Multiple Security Deposits by rorser
Mar 13, 2008 (8:11 am)

Say, I'm being told entirely different things by two Lexus dealers. One says multiple Security Deposits means multiple monthly payments, the other says $500 per Sec Dep. That is a big diff. If I make 9 X $500 vs. 9 X $1,400 up front to reduce my money factor. Who is correct? Thanks. R

I am told it is the equivelent of your monthly payment rounded up to nearest $25 of course by doing it your payment will go done from 1400 because the money factor will now be lower, hope this helps. one other thing is NY does not allow this.
Good luck

I am being told by my N. Calif Lexus dealers that for each SD I make, up to 9, that the MF will be reduced by .008 for a total of .072 reduction. I believe you quoted a different figure. Also, I am being told that a SD = one month's payment, which seems odd to me. If my payment for a LS460-L is $1,300, that's a 12 grand deposit. Can you clarify Car_man?

Thanks. That seems to be what most dealers are telling me, but there is one who absolutely insists that each SD = $500. I'll call him again. Thank you.

We've seen this number vary, but the discount should be anywhere from .00007 - .0001 for each additional SD.
 
MSD's are made up-front.

What constitutes a Security Deposit? I have been told everything from $500 to the lease payment amount rounded to nearest $50. This is a huge range. I have heard that each SD reduces the MF by .00008 and that you can pay 8 or 9 of them.
But, what constitutes a SD?
I am being offered a MF of .000310 on a 48 mo. lease with a Cap Cost of $77,330 which includes the $600 Acquisition Fee. Any way I might get my payment down beside the $1,400 SDs?
Thanks, R

Lexus 460 out of state lease by jim9921
Mar 28, 2008 (11:18 am)

I'm looking to lease an 08 LS460 on for 36 mo/15K miles. I live in Portland, Or where there is only one Lexus dealer so there is no competition and I'm only getting about 5% off MSRP, which seems low, and they are quoting a money rate of .00329, which sounds pretty high. I've read on leasecompare.com that LSF rates have dropped to .00225 with 51% residual. CA dealer are pretty quick to discount 8-11% off MSRP and I assume lease rates would be better. Couple of questions:
1. Is there any reason an out of state buyer could not lease a car from a CA dealer;
2. My understanding is that I would pay CA sales tax only on the portion of the cap cost, and not the full MSRP.
3. I have a 04 430 to trade in which is valued in OR at 25K. Would I be better off using that as a cap reduction or buying down the rate with SD's, or some combination of both. I would like to get my monthly payment as low as possible.

If you lease from a dealer in California, but with an Oregon address, you shouldn't have to pay any sales tax, provided you roll all of your upfront costs into the lease.
 
California taxes the monthly payment, on a monthly basis. If your car is registered in Oregon, and that is where you receive your monthly lease bill, there should be no tax due.
 
You might have to pay California tax on the first payment, if you make that at delivery.... and, on anything you pay upfront (acquisition fee, etc.). So.. don't pay anything upfront!
 
regards,

Out of state leasing of Lexus in Calif. by jim9921

I'm a Oregon resident and have been looking to lease an 08 LS460 from a CA dealer. Both the cap cost and money factors are better than I can find in Oregon, but so far I've had two SoCal dealer tell me they don't lease out of state. I've been pre approved by LFS with a FICO of 792, so it's not my credit in question. I know NV dealer will lease out of state, but prices don't seem as good as SoCal. If any non CA residents have leased a Lexus in CA, would you let me know what dealer you worked with and your experience.
