2015 Lexus IS 250 Lease Questions

ben_75

MF=Money Factor. Multiply by 2400 to get interest rate ie. .0009 x 2400 = 2.16%

There isn't enough information here for us to help you.

First, you need to call Honda and find out what the payoff is on your Accord - it's possible that the Lexus dealer is lowballing you on the trade value by saying that they 'will pay it off'. To get a decent idea of the trade value, head over to the "Real World Trade in Values" discussion and ask our experts.

Second, what is the MSRP and the selling price of the Lexus? The current numbers for the IS250 are 72% for 27/10 and .00090 MF.

Third, I have a hard time believing this would be $0 out of pocket. On any lease, you have to make the first payment, the acquisition fee, the dealer fee and any state mandated tags or licensing fees.

Once you get this information, come on back and we can model a payment for you.

Can you apply MSDs on a subvented lease (0.00090) through Lexus?

I think so.

I don't see any residuals or money factors on here for the convertible. Does anyone know the #'s for the IS 250 C RWD? 10k/36months. Thank you!

62% for 36/10.

.00170 MF (standard MF from Lexus)

awarren82

Thank you. What do you mean standard MF from Lexus? I see much lower rates quoted in this thread. Like, . 00090. Thanks again.

Standard = non-discounted.

The convertible doesn't have the same program as the sedans.

awarren82

ok, so it sounds like you are saying you can't negotiate a better than .00170 MF on the convertible.

Yes... the base money factor for the convertible is .00170

Thank you. Can I get confirmation on the MF of 0.0009 and whether the residual for 24m/12k on an IS250 is 71% or 73%. The dealer is telling me it's 71% but kyfdx above is saying it should be 73%. I want to be certain I have my facts straight before I start asking the dealer for something unreasonable.

If I put down 8 MSD's would that then lower the 0.0009 MF to 0.0001?

The numbers we have show the 24/12 residual on the 2015 IS250 as 73%. These numbers are set to expire on 3/31/15. You sure they aren't quoting you a 27 month term?

Yes, 8 MSDs would lower the MF to the minimum of .00001

How does 8 MSDs lowe the MF to 0.00001? I thought each MSD reduced MF by 0.00008. 0.00008 x 8 = 0.00064 and 0.00090 - 0.00064 = 0.00026. Also is each MSD 1 payment at base MF or the new discounted MF? Thank you! Also, any incentives on Lexuses? Does Lexus have a loyalty rebate?

Sorry, your math is correct on the MSDs. I believe the new payment is used to determine the size of each security deposit.

No lease cash that I see on the IS. Use the "Car Research" tab at the top of the page for any customer incentives available.

We do not recommend making a down payment on a lease --- $422/mo for 24 months on a $42K car is quite good.

Hey, can you provide me with the 12k and 15k residual (36 months), for a 2015 250 IS F sport AWD; this is for NJ. Thanks!
p.s. Also money factor for tier 1 and tier 2.

We don't yet have the March MF numbers ...

36/15 residual is 63%. Add 2% for 12K miles.

Hello, could you please give me the MF and residual value for March of the IS 250 F-Sport RWD 27mth and 36mth at 10K miles /year. Are there any cash incentives in March? Thank you

Hi, I was quote for this IS250 prenium package. I'm in NE. MSRP 44,270, leasing fee 700, down payment 1475. 27 months 10k miles. 475/with tax included. Thats all infomation they gave me. Do you think this is a good deal. Thank you.

72% residual for 27/10 and .00090 MF.

We would need to know the cap cost and the breakdown of the $1475 up front to fully comment.

julie2015

Thank you for your response. As I remember the cap cost is 42500. 1475 goes to cap cost reduction. There is no title,registration, license included. Those arw separated. They said I have to go to the DMV for that due to NE law. The 1st month is waived.

I'm getting $404.52/mo pre-tax with your numbers. Dealer might be inflating the MF or they could be slipping in some fees to increase the payment.

julie2015

Yes I belive so.with $404.52 +7% tax it will be 432/mo and they increase it to 475 to make more profit. The other dealer give me a higher number. Thank you again.

Yes, the Lexus numbers are national (except for Illinois, for some reason)

Wanted to see your thoughts if this is a good deal? My credit isn't great, 650-690 depending which one they pull.

2015 IS 250 AWD Fsport fully loaded with navigation and the works 36 months / 12k miles

MSRP 46,303
Cap Cost 44,534.47
RV 30,096.95 (0.65)
Fees: 2929.53
Breakdown;
Taxes: 641.03
Initial Title, License & Reg. Fee: 314.50
Acquisition Fee: 700
Excess Wear and Use Coverage: 875
Doc Fee: 399

MF ?? I'm not sure -

1,500 down (Cap Reduction - now I see I shouldn't have done this.) - 489/month
516/month w/ the 875 for excess wear & tie wrapped into payment.


Thanks!

cahn2126

IS 250 FSport fully loaded (navi etc.) Didn't run through all the numbers but a dealer out in Socal quoted me $398/mo on 36 months/12k lease. $0 down. Is this a decent deal?

.00090 MF and 65% residual.

Running through all the numbers is how you find out if it's a good deal.

helpbass

@cahn2126 - I just ran similar numbers for a good friend and this seems like a good deal.

Here's my breakdown:

• 36 mo, 12k mi lease
• MSRP = $44,820
• Sale Price = $40,385
• Residual = 65%
• MF = 0.00070 (1.68)
• $0 down
• Sales Tax = 8.725% Central California

TOTAL = $393 month, includes tax

Hey Guys,

Leased a 2015 IS 250 MSRP $38,500 over the weekend.

0 Out of pocket (applied the $1000 grad student rebate)
$350/Mo tax included
36 Months
10K/year
Sale price approx 36K
RV 25K
MF (self back calced) .0008

How did I do ?

How is the dealer using MF of 0.00070 when the national rate is 0.00090? How much was the drive off fees (DMV, acquisition fee, etc.)? Since Lexus pays first month then it would be 35 payments of $393 left?

Hello,

I am new here but, I am looking to lease a IS250 with Fsport package. Even though I have another lease with another company and never missed or made a late payment my credit score is not that good still.
I was wondering what is the lexus tier list, so I can see for what MF I qualify and see if I can get the monthly payment I am looking for

Thanks

Hey guys, I am new here, but have been following this thread for months now. My lease is almost up on my Hyundai and I think I want to upgrade to the IS 250 AWD.

When I walk in there, what info do I need to take home with me to figure out that I am getting a decent deal. I have had trouble in the past because I look very young, even though I am in my 30's. They tend to brush me off, and I want to maintain my sarcasm and act normal when they ask where my parents are.

I am sorry if I am asking a repeated question. I appreciate any help. I live in PA.

Thanks,

There are 4 numbers to a lease:

MSRP - bottom line of the window sticker
Cap Cost - negotiated selling price adjusted for any fees & taxes
Money Factor - used to calculate the rent charge of the lease. For the IS, that number is .00090
Residual - dependent on lease term and miles per year

You negotiate the cap cost just like you would for a purchase; read back through the past few pages in this discussion to see what others are paying. You can use the Edmunds pricing tools at the top of the page - the "make / model / year" pull downs.

Great. Thank you. I will report back. I may go tomorrow when it is snowing here. They may be hanging around needing something to do.

I did see you recommend nothing down due to risk with totaling...I think that is great advise.

With your numbers, I'm getting $404.66/mo pre-tax, so not too far off from your dealer quote.

MF is marked up .. base MF is .00090. My payment drops to $391.45 using the base MF.

If you have equity in your trade, do not use it to reduce the cap cost. Have the dealer cut you a check for that balance.

There are 4 numbers to a lease: MSRP - bottom line of the window sticker Cap Cost - negotiated selling price adjusted for any fees & taxes Money Factor - used to calculate the rent charge of the lease. For the IS, that number is .00090 Residual - dependent on lease term and miles per year You negotiate the cap cost just like you would for a purchase; read back through the past few pages in this discussion to see what others are paying. You can use the Edmunds pricing tools at the top of the page - the "make / model / year" pull downs.

Great. Thank you. I will report back. I may go tomorrow when it is snowing here. They may be hanging around needing something to do.

I did see you recommend nothing down due to risk with totaling...I think that is great advise. 

Ok, I live in pa. Stopped by the dealer today...

2015 is 250 awd without nav

Msrp 40970
Residual .66
Gross cap cost 38993
Money factor .0011

36 months, 10k miles

Upfront charges: 1345.55
Initial payment: 1790.94
Cap reduction: 4.45
Due on delivery: 1350

404.53 plus 36.41 in tax for a total of $440.94/mo

I have about a $2500 inequity in my current car that isnt being considered here yet that I need to work on with them. Thoughts? Help? Opinions?

They want me to look at the hybric hatch too.

Thanks...I appreciate your thoughts.

With your numbers, I'm getting $404.66/mo pre-tax, so not too far off from your dealer quote. MF is marked up .. base MF is .00090. My payment drops to $391.45 using the base MF. If you have equity in your trade, do not use it to reduce the cap cost. Have the dealer cut you a check for that balance.

Thanks. I actually have an inequity...not an equity... thats my issue. I didnt want to put any money down either. I may just wait until my lease is up in my current car in 6 months and walk back in with clean hands and try this again.
