I searched but wasn't able to find many quotes from other members since the new year. The quotes I had read from 2014 were insane - approaching or even exceeding $1,000 per month for a 75K car, which is at least double what I'm paying for my 2014 IS 350 F-Sport.

Have rates gotten any better?

Looking too I have a is350 14 f sport, want to get a RCF and I got quoted around the same double to triple what I'm paying now, not worth it. I'll wait until 2016

got my quotes today.

20k down, 550+/ month, 3 years, 12k per year

Why would anyone put 20k down on a lease?

Keep the payment lower? Even with 20K down that's a pretty high payment, no deals on those cars yet.

That's $1.11/mile just to have the car for 3 years. Doesn't include gas/insurance. Add those, cost might be around $2/mile.

I'd be asking myself if I really wanted to spend $10 to run down to the store for $2 Starbucks?

if the car gets totaled, you are out of that 20k. Insurance company pays the bank not you

Not a blanket statement anymore. Smarter Lesseeshave been able to negotiate terms into their lease agreement where they get a portion of the down payment back but overall I agree, a down payment is lost and makes little sense for a lease..

20k down might as well finance instead of lease

How would one go about doing that? As someone who lost a car 4 months into a lease I'd be afraid of putting anything down at all, aside from security deposits.

So would I and would almost always advise against putting money down on the lease. But there have been some cases where some people have gotten a portion of their money returned to them via different means (Theft avert/VIN etch, single pay lease etc).

I still don't think any of them are worth the risk of putting money down. Was just saying that losing everything isn't a blanket statement anymore.

Why would anyone put money down on a lease? Is the point not to save cash? Also even if you crash the car w/o 20k down you don't have to worry, I would take that 20k put it in the bank or something that can get 5-6% and just split that payments 500 from checking and the other 1/2 from that 20k.

With 20k down over 60mo with good credit you would pay around 850~ a month and you get to KEEP it or sell it for a profit after you are done.

Hang in there.

Nobody is buying these things (at least up by me)...you will be able to find them new with 15k off i bet..

Ryanmcd

Let me know when that happens lolrof. The ONLY car I see with something like that is the GTR that's 2 years old on the dealer lots. It's also 50k more then this car.

anyone get recent residual and MF numbers in socal?

I wouldn't put $20k down unless I was pretty sure I would be buying it at lease end.
