Is this a good deal?
Hi , Im new here and wanted to get opinions on whether im getting a good deal here.
Location: Dallas, Texas
Dealer: Sewell Lexus of Dallas
I've been trying to negotiate with one of the salesman here and my family has bought a car once from him back in 2012. Good Guy overall.
Vehicle im planning to buy is the 2015 Lexus IS 250 F sport AWD
TAX here is 8% which is roughly around maybe 3k tax rough estimate
Options: Navigation and Backup / BSM / Trunk, Mat
Color: Ultra White / Red Roija
TOTAL MSRP = $45,744
OTD: $44,236.55
I've only managed to talk him down to that OTD price after days. Before it was $45,773.52 but got him down to $44,236 OTD . Looks like ive seen better deals here and people getting IS 350 for 44K but many factors do play in. I've checked Truecar.com and i feel like i can get a better deal than $44.2k any opnions?

Looking for your guys' help and advice here. Came back from the dealership yesterday with this (exactly how the paper shows) for a 2015 IS350 F Sport:
MSRP: 47,519
Rebate: 1,500
Tint: 345
Nitrogen: 60
Annual Mileage: 10,000
Trade Value: 34,024
Trade Payoff: 34,024
Residual Value: 26,135.45
Money Factor: .0085
Lease term: 48 months
Money down: 0
Monthly payment: 531
So I'm trading in my 2014 IS250 F Sport that I got with a 48 month 10,000 miles per year lease and currently has 25,000 miles on it. I'm in North Carolina. They don't have the car on the lot but they found two that were in other dealerships they would have to transport. Salesman told me they would not charge me transportation costs. Let me know what you guys think.

If you plan on buying out the vehicle after the lease and keeping it for a bit longer, what if you reduced the mileage down to even 7.5k? I would think that would lower the payments on your lease and raise your RV but at least it'll bring down your monthly which is what you're aiming for. Think it'd also be possible to get out of paying for the nitrogen (unless you asked for it)?

Trim: 2015 IS 350 F-Sport
Color: Ultra white, black
Upgrades: blind spot, navigation system
Purchase type: 36 month lease, 10k mi/yr
MSRP: 49,385
Discounts: leasing discount, college graduate discount
Lease payments based on purchase price of ~45k
I opted for 10k mi/yr since I commute to/from work using the train and really only drive it for pleasure.

Have you crunched all the numbers between buying and leasing? If you intend to buy this car at the end of the lease, you may pay thousands more in interest than if you just bought it now at 1.9%. A 531 lease payment is high, especially on a 48 month, 10k lease. Press them on the money factor - your credit might qualify for better than .00085.

My intentions are to keep it, but life happens and I might change my mind 4 years from now. I'd rather keep the payments low up until then. Financing would almost double the monthly payment. I know in the long term I might be paying more by leasing now, but the future is unknown. I'd rather be more financially stable in the present and near future.

Anybody else have thoughts on this deal specifically instead of advice on whether or not I should lease? I've decided to lease.

Annual Mileage: 10,000

Money down: 0
Monthly payment: 531

There are options to get out of a lease: you can transfer lease to someone else or sell the vehicle as well. If I have to sell the vehicle within the next 4 years, which is highly unlikely, I'd rather be stuck with a lower payment than a higher payment in case I can't sell it.

If you care to provide the rest of the details like selling price, we can probaby give you a more detailed opinion - if you want it.
What is the 1500 rebate?
You can take this thought for what you feel it is worth: with the info you have provided, that is a terrible deal.
