I am looking to lease a new 05 RX and would like to know what some of you are getting as far as lease deals on the car. How much you are putting down etc... I'm looking at an fwd prem. plus. Thanks

Wait until the Lexus yearly "December to Remember Event". They always offer great deals then.
Right now the only deal I see is for CPO cars.

Since leasing is based on the purchase price, considering you're leasing through Lexus, all other factors should be the same. So, find out the Invoice on your particular model and see how close you can buy the car to Invoice. Then, ask them to do your lease based on that price and make sure you get quotes for 36,39,42,48 months and 12 and 15k miles so you can figure out which option is the smartest one.

Good luck and here's an estimate on what to expect:
$40,000 RX330 will cost about $550 a month with $1500 due at signing.

For every 1 thousand dollars less than $40,000 , expect to lower that payment by about $22 a month.

Shop around and good luck!

by the way, that $550 a month was considering you chose 36 months and 12k miles a year

Thanks for the numbers.... carsdirect is also offering a lease deal for $442 a month for 36months with 12k miles. I just wonder if it's a carsdirect lease or run through Lexus. Has anyone leased through the lease outlet? They seem to also have a cheap lease deal. I wonder if it is worth it to lease through a car broker instead of directly through Lexus... any opinions will be helpful....

That price sounds good but you may do better considering I said $550 a month for a 2005 RX330 AWD with Premium Plus and a bunch of goodies.

1SICKLEX: When is this "Dec to Remember Event"? Is it at the beginning or end of Dec? Does the color become limited though during this event? Any idea? Thanks.
