Yeah looks pretty good at a glance. Be glad you don't live in a retarded tax state like mine where I have to come up with 6.5% of the negotiated price up front even on a lease...

I'm quite happy with the terms, only thing is I have to wait as the vehicle has not arrived in the US, so another 2 week wait.

That is ridiculous, does that mean you pay tax even on the portion you don't use?

On a scale of 1 thru 10 this deal is a solid 10. one of the best I have ever read on any forum.
Great work and I doubt they made much money on this deal.

That makes me feel more confident about going ahead. There's approximately 10 dealers relatively close by and it looks like they're really competing to close a deal.

Thanks Valueguy. I wonder if I can get them to bump up the residual from 67 to 68%. Not sure if these are negotiable though.

Does anyone else have any opinions on this deal? Would appreciate some suggestions regarding negotiations.

Thanks

You want the residual to be as high as possible. High residual and low purchase price=low payment.

If the residual was lower his payments would increase.

You got a great deal in top 2 percent of all deals. There is always someone who beat your deal by a few hundred dollars ( rare though) but 99 percent of buyers would jump at this deal.

I haven't seen all the exact numbers yet but, I am about to lease a 2013 GS350 F Sport for 36 months with a total price of just under $59K. The Lexus dealer quoted my lease payments as above $1,300 a month. How do you guys find payments for less than $600 all the time?

$1300? WOW! no trade-in ? What is the residual?

$1300 is no deal.
