2014 Lexus IS 250 Lease Questions

mitchryan · March 2014

kyfdx, Carman - you are the best. I shudder to think about the car buying / leasing process without all of the help.

I'm considering leasing the 2014 IS250 RWD (loaded but not sure about F options). I'm floored by the 77% residual percentage (12k miles, 24 mos) for the IS250 AWD you mentioned earlier, and if the RWD drive has worse residual, it might actually be cheaper to lease the more expensive AWD, right?!?

When you can, please post March's MF and residuals assuming the 24 month, 12k lease, excellent credit, no MSD, for:

IS250 RWD
IS250 RWD (with F sport package if different)
IS350 RWD (I know there's a separate post for IS350 but figured I'd be lazy)

Thanks so much...

escalade24 · March 2014

Just to piggyback on this, kyfdx is it really now 78% for 10k on a 24 month lease of a is250 rwd? I was told last month that it was 75% for the same terms (I wonder if they were lying to me now). I'm fairly certain the numbers for this month for is250s for 27, 36, 48 months at 10k are 73, 66, and 55. If you can confirm that 78% that is the best term by far. Also, is that money factor the national rate? As always thank you.

bill466 · March 2014

Anyone know the insurances requirements to lease an IS250? And an idea of what that cost on average?

I'm sorry... my information for Lexus is terrible this month, and I anything I give you is not likely to be accurate.. I will say that F-Sport usually has no effect on the lease program. It's just another option.

bill466 · March 2014

Been told this by 2 dealers:

IS250 AWD, 27 month lease, 15k miles/year

Dealer 1:
MF = .00085, RV = 70%

Dealer 2:
MF = .00105, RV = 70%

Hopefully that helps someone.

yiyi · March 2014

What I was told: 27month, MF = 0.00105, RV=72%
What on the contract: 27 month MF=0.00110, RV=73%.
I only got $1,500 off MSRP, $400/month with $2,500 down.
Any comment? Thanks!!

bill466 · March 2014

MF is tied to credit. If you have 720+ credit, you should be able to get 0.00085, I'm guessing you were quoted for 10k miles/year. I would definitely suggest emailing 5-10 dealers (even if there aren't in your state) and tell them you want their best offer.

I would suggest putting as little down as possible.

bbmegirl · March 2014

Is this a good deal?
27 months, 15,000 miles

Yes.. that's a very good deal on a $41K vehicle..

bbmegirl · March 2014

Also offering me maintenance package for additional $20 per month. Is it worth it since car is new and lease is 27 months?

kyfdx · March 2014

Lexus service is pricy... You'll have to get it serviced twice, most likely... Probably a break-even deal. I'd ask what's included, and what you might have to pay for.. If it's just for the scheduled maintenance, I'd pass... If it includes brakes, if needed, then I might take it, just so I'm covered..

julio91 · March 2014

If anyone needs a good sales rep and does not matter what state you reside in ( he could ship the car pretty much anywhere, he saved my buddy up in Phoenix $80 a month) Inbox me for his info, I purchased 2 Lexus of this gentleman, straight forward, did not catch him in any lies, extremely resourceful, give it a try you know, Best luck everyone keep us posted.

You didn't specify the miles per year, so I'll assume 15K.

24mo - 71%

27mo - 69%

36mo - 61%

Add 2% for 12K and 3% for 10K

.00085 MF

redls1 · April 2014

I see the Lexus deal for $349 for 27 months $1899 down. My local Nashville dealer sent me and email that shows 2014 is 250 rwd base of $37,180 $288 a month 24 months $1899 down 10k miles a year. Regional I guess can change based on inventory?

Do you know how much the money factor comes down with each security deposit? I believe Lexus allows up to 9 MSDs...

kyfdx · May 2014

I'm sorry... I don't know the specifics on the Lexus program.

Hi,

May I ask which dealer offered your above quote? Thanks.

I am looking for lease info for VA or PA, would they be the same? MF, Residual for 10K, 27 and 36 mos.

speego · May 2014

Hi Guys,

Another great deal I got based on these reviews:

Dealer - Pembroke Pines - Florida:

----------------------- After searching and searching... I found this numbers here:
Lexus IS 250 F Sport
MSRP: $41,922 ***
***Selling price: $37,600 ***
***Money factor: 0.00085
27 months - 10,000 miles/year ***
***$2,000 all fees included ***
***$304/month taxes included ***
***Residual 73% of MSRP

After a back and forth to match above in the dealer, I did a sign and drive only paying the 1st month down (26 left) with $380 monthly all fees included which basically match above. ($2000 down / 27 months = $74.07 + $304 monthly = $378.

Be patience, I printed the above statement, stating their competitors dealership send it to me, they said impossible to match like 3 times, back and forth, at the end they move their numbers to get me what I want. (2 1/2 hours back and forth)

Not sure what % of what they really moved, only know I got first payment made + $380 all in after that.

The math in both cases is about $10200 + -, so they are looking for that, keep that in mind. (($380 x 27 months) + 380 first = $10260 ******* ($304x27 months) + $2000 = $10208).

Good Luck

Hi Michaell,

The salesman didn't provide me selling price.

Should I go back and negotiate selling price with him? How much should I ask off MSRP? I don't have much experience. Please help! Thank you!

Use the pricing tools at the top of the page to find out invoice price and TMV for the car you want.

I would then contact the dealer and have them provide you with a lease worksheet; this should break down all the numbers and we can review them to see if they are giving you the best deal.
