I am getting this deal from lexus, the is250 automatic basis MSRP $33,320 edmund's invoice price $29,346. 24/15k a year 399+taxes, $600 for tags, tax and fees. They did not give me the residual value, the money factor or the price they were giving me the car for. They said I had to go to the dealer for that, this is an offer they have on their website. Do you think this is a good deal? do you think I could negotiate it lower? after reading a few posts I calculated the payment for 24m, using a mf of .00020, selling price of $29,646 ($300 over invoice) 63% residual, 7% tax and I am coming up with $396 a month including taxes, which would be great to get, but maybe I don't have the residual correct. Well my main question is what is the lowest you think I could get this car for and are $600 dollars reasonable for tax, tag, acq. & state fees, they also did not want to give me a detail of fees....thank you!!!!!!!

they gave me a figure of $422 + 7% taxes, I am getting $413. including 7% taxes
they also said that the .00020 mf is for buying not leasing.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated, this is my first time leasing or buying a car.
I went to Longo in Cali today,
For FICO720+, he told me the MF was .00275, then after I told him about .00175, he later changed to .00225........... Is .00175 still the correct MF now?

I cant get the $586 using those numbers though.

Tom
Miami FL,
Out-Pocket Cost with this deal? I guess this 3449 does not include fees and first payment? I'm getting quotes from $4000 to $4500 out of pocket?
Does this sound right? What is included in the 3449? What is the breakdown
of the additional fees? Thanks
Plus i have read a little and I am a smart guy but am new to this i keep reading about money value .0002. what is that? What does that mean?
I'm back again for some help on the purchase of an IS250. Have been looking at it for a while and wanted certain color and features. So far it has been a problem for some strange reason, and I have heard all kinds of "STUFF" from the dealer as to the reason. (SOUTH FLORIDA AREA)
Looking for an AUTO Trans with RWD
Only want the WHITE (starfire pearl) and Cashmere Interior also must have a Navigation because I want to have the Bluetooth for the phone. Would like the Luxury package, but it seems that this package only exists in the brochure and not in real life,
So instead To get the Navigation also comes with Premium Package, 18" Alloy wheels, High HDD lights, Spoiler, and i-pod interface.
Bottom line is I cant get to the bottom of why there are very few WHITE with BEIGE INTERIOR and NAVIGATION available.
Only now has the dealer finally agreed to a fair deal, as they have stayed tough for quite awhile.
So has Lexus just come out with some type of dealer incentive? would seem that way to me.
Also please correct me if I am wrong on the 24 month lease special "Money Factor" of .00020
If I understand then it would amount to $2 a month per $10,000 of Lease amount Residual + Cap cost. So if residual is $25,000 and Cap Cost is $35,000 Then the monthly Lease rate is $12 plus the depreciation.

MSRP $46,205
Cap cost $41,743
Residual 53% (36 month, 15K)
Monthly $615+Tax
$1,000 due at signing (including first month's payment)
I've actually been told that Lexus has just stopped making the car with the luxury package. Is this a good deal?
Navigation
Premium Package
HID lamps
Accessory Package
Rear Spoiler
MSRP is $38,600. Invoice is around $33,600.
I have good credit and was wondering if the lease deals of MF = .00020 and 55% of MSRP residual value with 15k a year is available in Houston, TX.
Thanks!
I did not get a chance to see any inventory, because of property restraints, they keep new cars at a office bldg several blocks away.
Send me a PM if you find anything.
Thanks

24m/12k
MSRP: $38,314
Price: $32,877 + $600 Acquisition Fee
0 Down
Monthly Payment: $389.25 plus tax
Is that a good deal?
Heck...I'm going to use your numbers as my starting point when I go down to Kearny Mesa Lexus here in San Diego during lunch!
Sounds like you are offered a fantastic deal. Don't pass it up. They already went all in and want your business. I thought I did a good job of negotiation and with the same vehicle specs in South Florida I am paying $460 plus tax. Also charged a $700 dealer fee that was rolled into the payment along with the $600 bank fee.
Dealer refused to acknowledge that there is a .00020 MF and they claimed that the best available at the highest beacon score tier 1 was at .00050.
Still a great MF but not .00020
gwarren
thats a really good offer
the best deal I have so far with the exact specs w/ navigation with msrp $38,314 is

Sign me up! Who's the dealer. I've seen nothing to compare with this, but then again I'm in a town with one Lexus dealer. Bart :shades:
looks like you have not tuned into this forum since March 6th?
I did end up leasing an IS250 with the 24 month special rate. However the dealer which is THE LARGEST in FLORIDA, said that the best Lexus was offering was at .00050. I know that that is still a great Money Factor but not quite the .00020.
I figured about $20 a month difference on the lease. So does the dealer have to offer the published rate or is it in their hands to decide. I know that it would be my choice to just go to another dealer, but iy's all to aggrevating. ( I know that it was not due to my rating as I know that I qualify for the best that is offered.

I just saw that on our local Infiniti website. As the summer doldrums roll around there's a distinct possibility that a similar program will surface. I've started chumming, so with 10 weeks before the expiration of my present lease I suspect one of the dealers will be back to me with a better rate. Bart :shades:
here is the deal I got:
24m/12k
MSRP: $38,314
3000 Down
Monthly Payment: $324. tax included
Thank you
I'm about to start walking into dealerships and begin negotiating a lease for an IS350. I want the IS350 with Obsidian/Graphite interior, NAV and luxury package. I'm looking for a 3 yr/15,000 per lease and no money up front (except for tax/title/fees). Just curious to know what deals others are getting so I have an idea before I walk into the lion's den.
MSRP of 35,485.
He would not give me residual value, money factor or total cap cost until I come into the dealership.
This was not his first offer, he started at over $600 a month and through several e-mails has come down to this.
I am in no hurry to lease, should I wait until next month to see if additional discounts come back? I would really like the 24 month lease, but missed it as I started shopping the last weekend of the March.
I'm just about to lease an IS350 and I was told the money factor for April is .00185 for tier 1 plus credit (.00195 for Tier 1). The residual for 15,000 miles is 52%...
I'm hoping someone else can confirm this....Thanks!
Do you know the April 2008 money factor and residuals through lexus financial services on an IS350? I was told it was .00185 for tier 1 plus and .00195 for tier 1. Also the residual (i'm told) is 52% for 15K. Can you please confirm this? I know that dealers sometimes play games with the money factors.....
Thanks a lot!!
I am in the NY City area and I am looking to lease a 2008 IS250 for 35 months. what is the best deal?
- 0 down payment
- include everything else in monthly payment.
I noticed the MSRP is 31,750. I currently have a passat 2004 paying 302.00 a month. the MSRP of my passat was 28,000.00.

Thanks for the info, but I did already take the deal fro the IS250 at the end of March (My daughters car, I just helped with lease deal) Yes we did get a good deal on the 24 month but Dealer said that the absolute best M.F. was at .00040 and not .00020 so it made a difference of about $10-15 a month. Ultimately still a very good deal.
Anyway more importantly my Audi Lease is ending in a week and I Am looking at the same car again see my post in the AUDI A-4. I will be buying in the next couple of days
The best way to negotiate a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your car's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
