Hello,

I am interested in leasing a 2013 RX350. I want silver exterior, FWD, and navigation. Not sure about the interior.

How much should I pay for it? How much down and monthly payment sounds reasonable?

I might consider purchasing the car after the end of the lease if I like the car.

Thank you for your advice

 

The goal is to put down as little as possible on a leased vehicle. Not your vehicle, why take the risk of putting down a deposit that you would lose if you got into an accident on the way home from the dealership?

Take the money you were going to use for the down payment and put it in a separate account and use it to make higher payments. Especially if there is a thought to buy the vehicle at lease end.

As far as negotiating, shop around local dealers and play them off one another until you get a price point you are happy with. There are tips here via search function that will provide you with some negotiating tips if needed.
