on an IS 350 will be either crystal white or SGM with cashmere AND got xm radio included for 41589 retail price, 4 yr lease with 2 k down [my decision to lower monthly] and money rate of .00265 for payments of 547 per month 12k miles per year.

yeah I wanted the mark levinson system but I couldnt special order because I got a good deal on my traded LS. cant believe what an albatross that is to trade in. nobody will give you anything close to what its worth retail and I didnt want the hassle of trying to sell it for 32 myself. cannot wait for this car to come in. oh and there is 52k miles on my car.

547 x 48 = 26256 + 2000 = 28256.

I would think these cars would have lower lease rates since the residuals will be so high.

Back in Jan 04, I leased an 04 Corvette for $386 a month X 51 months with only $1000 down (+ttl)...and I just had someone assume it for $3500 cash.

The corvette is the perfect car to lease! Fun to beat on, but you feel good knowing your
just leasing (renting) it!

That seems like a pretty good deal. How come you went with luxury instead of sport package? You liked the wood trim?

Yeah I gotta say... I tried to lease a very basic equipped IS350 and those morons wanted 8000 dollars down and 400 bucks a month for 42 months lease. Basically they wanted 25 grand for me to have a car that stickered at 37 grand (stickered, not invoiced for that matter). So not only would they making full sticker price profit on the sale of the car, but that's assuming it'd only be worth 12 grand after 3.5 years of ownership which we all know isn't true.

They were trying to flat out rape me.

Audi gave me a lease for under 400 a month including all taxes, fees, 15k miles a year, and all maintenance free with ZERO down and only 24 months of ownership (means I get a new car sooner). That's 9600 bucks for 2 years with zero additional costs.

Does Lexus require you service your lease at the lexus dealership? If you don't will they penalize you if you don't follow the factory guidelines? Or will they only penalize you if you do something dumb like never change the oil and it causes engine damage?


There the heck did you get that deal?

Yeah, the ML system is very hard to get outside of Central region -- none of the others have it in a standard package. Your car is basically the same as mine except for that one feature, and I can tell you from experience, you're going to love it. Best car I've ever owned, for certain.

the years I spent as a basketball player have taken a toll on my back. or maybe I am just getting soft. anyway I drove 2 sport pkg cars and while they rode better than my 04 TL I decided that I just wanted a wee bit more luxury in my ride quality. I know its a rocket off the line which I think will get old for me after a while but country roads will be fun at 7/10s occasionally instead of 8/10s a lot. its just me. choices, choices... . and let me add, that cashmere interior is SERIOUSLY good looking to my eyes. if I cant get crystal white, the SGM with that interior is going to look sick.
