I just spoke with my dealer and he game me the below information for 2014 Lexus IS250 loaded: - MSRP = $44,300 - MF = 0.00210 - Miles - 10,000/yr - Residual value = $29, 189.82. Can you tell me what my monthly payment will be without including tax?
Hi, I'm talking to a dealer for 2014 IS 350 AWD with F sports package lease and he quoted me 399/month for 27 months with $3500 down including taxes, fees which is almost $1600 and first month payment. Is that a good deal? its for 15K miles/ year. i was hoping to pay not more than $2500 down but they are asking more. Please let me know. Thanks in advance!
The MF is set by Lexus and only the top tier credit applicants can get the best rate of .00110. Dealers can also try to mark it up to increase their profit.
If you add miles it will increase your monthly payment. Residual values are lower for more miles.
You will have to provide more details such as MSRP, selling price of the car, MF, residual percentage... Based on previous posts the MF and residual for this vehicle for 27 months and 15K miles is .00110 and 70%.
I would recommend against putting anything significant down on a lease. If you are not in NY you can pay down using up to 9 multiple security deposits (MSDs). You get the amount you put down in MSDs back at the end of the lease.
With that said $399/month is a good price if it works for you.
Thanks, i now have a better understanding of what i'll be leasing. One more question, Can you explain MSD's to me? As it applys to my lease and how it relates to my monthly payment
Thanks for you reply. Here are the detail that i've from the dealer. MSRP: $48827 / Invoice: $46047 Purchase Price: $44547 And fees he is charging Doc here is 499 DMV is 418.50 Lexus Acquisition Fee is 700 One month payment 399 Down payment 2000 so instead of 4000, he is saying give him 3500 total down
I dont have the MF and residual percentage but yeah it maybe .00110 and 70%. I'm in NJ area, so i wont be able to do MSDs? Thanks.
Each MSD reduces MF by 0.00007. If you do 9 MSDs it will reduce your MF by .00063. MSDs are calculated from the monthly payment rounding up to the nearest $50 or $100. I'm not 100% sure on the rounding.
For Example: -If monthly payment is $500, then each security deposit will be $500.
-If payment is $551, then $600
-If $549, then $550. 9 MSDs in this case would be $4950.
Using max MSDs will reduce your monthly payment ~$40-$50/month.
That's a pretty good selling price. I believe NJ does do MSDs. The payment might be a little higher by $20-$30/month, but you may want to consider MSDs instead of putting money down that you will never get back...
Ok thanks for explaining.. I'll ask my dealer about MSDs and see what he says and i'll let you know how it goes. Btw, fees of $1500, do they look reasonable to you for Lexus? He said it includes Lexus acquisition fee, DMV and doc fees
You're welcome. I'm not familiar with NJ DMV fees, but the Lexus acq fee is about right. The doc fees are high but could be normal for your state. The fees in VA are in the $300-400 range.

.00110 MF and 73% residual
I don't see a 7.5K/yr lease option for Lexus, but if they have one, the residual is likely to be 1% higher than the 10K/yr lease

- MSRP = $44,300

- Miles - 10,000/yr
- Residual value = $29, 189.82.
Can you tell me what my monthly payment will be without including tax?
Selling Price
Term: 27 0r 36 months
If you are paying MSRP (bad idea) and 27 monthly payments for an AWD it would be: $588/month pre tax or fees.
For 36 months it would be $572/month pre tax or fees.
The top tier MF is .00110 so you would be paying almost twice as much interest, which increases payments almost $80/per month.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Term is 36 months
Miles is 10,000
- Can i add miles without adding to the monthly payment?
- Is the MF determined by my credit worthiness or a number that lexus comes
up with?

Lexus Acquisition Fee is 700
One month payment 399
