2015 IS 350 F sport RWD
Hi,
I leased lexus IS 350 F sport last week in Black with red interior, I am still wondering if I got the good deal or not!
The specifications are: Nav, BSM, and F sport package- heated and cooled seats, Mark Levinson, backup camera, all weather floor mats, rear bumper applique, cargo net, key gloves.
My monthly is $523 for 24 months 7500 mileswith $1000 down.
The dealer waived registration fees ($510) and bank fees ($700) and 1st payment.
Car's MSRP was $49159 dealer gave the discounted price as $43500 after alot of hours of negotiating.
Residual value after 2 years is: $35800.
I am pretty new so don't know the money factor and other things but, I am in 10% interest area.
Is this a good deal? I am planning to buy it after 2 years so I leased i with minimum milage.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Regards,
BMG

I see you've already leased it, the question would be are you happy with the car? Thats all that matters at this point

It's ok if I didn't! I cant do anything now but, to learn from mistake if it is one.
What do you think? Is it a good deal?

Its impossible to know without the money factor, but the payment seems very high to me for the terms. If you interest rate truly is in the "10%" range, thats very poor....these cars should be leasing in the .0005-.0009 range assuming 720+ credit, that translates into interest rates of 1.2%-2.2%. Dealers can and do inflate the MF, and that would explain why the payments are so high.
I'm sure they didn't waive them, they just built them into the lease and used your $1,000 down to pay the first payment and then the remainder as a cap cost reduction. LFS won't waive the $700 acquisition fee, and the CA DMV certainly won't waive the registration fees.
The dealer waived registration fees ($510) and bank fees ($700) and 1st payment.

Just to give you an idea, I've attached a lease worksheet. With the terms you gave me, a 73% residual, the $700 acquisition and $510 registration rolled in, and 464 downpayment ($1000 less first months payment) with a .0009 MF plus CA 6% tax I get a payment of $445.68.

Okay, this gives me an idea.. I think I have the paperwork like this from the dealer.. Let me check it and upload it here in sometime.
This is my 1st car ever! so I am nervous still if I did the deal correctly or not
Thank you so much for the effort you did.

BMG.

No problem. What they did is what they always try to do, they inflated the MF and put the profit back that you negotiated out on the price. Thats why you need to know all of the terms individually so that you can make sure there isn't anywhere that they can hide money.
If I run your numbers using a 4.5% rate, a MF of .00188 I get a payment of about $528, which is what they probably did. Inflating that rate got them another $2k in profit assuming the retail rate was .0009 (totally guessing on that). Bear in mind, theres profit at the retail rate too.
Nothing you can do about it now, but just FYI for next time.

I always try my best to help! These dealers are tough, they're masters at moving money around and moving the process along so buyers don't have time to think.
