Just pay all the fee's upfront.. Usually people down put a down payment on a lease (unless you just wanna lower you payment).. I don't know about June, and how the program look like, but there was a $2500 rebate in May..
I'll get to work tomorrow and check the updated programs on Lexus and post it up.

Hello all,
This is for GS 350 F Sport package - All the bells and whistles.
So here is what I got from the dealer (see attachment). After going back and forth for about a week, they emailed me back and said they are "all in". I am putting $3150 in on security deposits to decrease my money factor. If I didn't put anything down, I would be looking $656/month. Thoughts?

- Money Factor of .84% APR is excellent
- Residual is low - unable to change as set by Lexus Financial.
Suggestion:
- Aim for lower "cash" price of vehicle.
- Ask for "Invoice Price", aka lower Cash price by $1300.
- Rebate is above and beyond cash price, don't let it distract you.

How much money down are you putting in this deal? I see the security deposit (multiple) and upfront costs but how much towards the lease payment?
Is the first month payment included inn the lease? Do you have 35 more pwcayments?

- Cash price of your car is too high. You're at Invoice + $1300 before rebates. Aim for Invoice of ~$56.2k.
