I am looking for anyone that is currently leasing their IS-F ?
If so can you please list your down payment, monthly payment, and term with miles. If you could that would help me out lots!! Thanks in advance

I am in a leasing battle with my local NJ Lexus dealers. And having trouble with agreeing on a monthly number!

I currently have a loaded Infiniti M45 Sport, and have 5 months left on the lease, so I.m shopping now to get rid of it early lol.

Here's a more constructive thought, why don't you post what the dealer is offering you and or what you think is a reasonable deal and that way we can provide our $.2.

 

Jay, sounds like a lot of variables there...I agree, can you list:

Year (is it an '08 or '09)
cap cost
residual
MF
term
miles

Throwing the infiniti into the mix will complicate it...what are they doing? Rolling your remaining lease into the price of the Lex? If so, they are prob. going to crush you on the M45, or try to.

My guess, and that is all it is, is that leasing is gonna blow big time...I've seen crazy MF (interest rates) on some cars, like 7-9% equivalent interest. Why don't you just wait until 30 days before lease is up, then get serious? I think the great rates on the '08 F's ended Jan. 5th... unless they were extended...

 

They started at 950 a month with 5000 down 36/12k

Then after an hour I started to the door for departure, and was met by the manager, after a few back and fourth's I was given 770 a month 2500 down 48/12k. Thats with 6 payments of my M45 at $659.00.

So not sure if i should just do it, or wait the 6 months to change over!

I am leasing an 08 F. I traded in my is350 (I was negative 6k) equity. I have a 3 year 15,000 miles per year, put zero down. $1040 a month.

 

I just turned in my IS350 on New Years Eve and leased an IS-F. The cost of the vehicle was approximately $51500 (so about $10000 off sticker; they applied the "truck money" to the lease). I put nothing down and leased it with their lease special (i think the money factor was .000165) for 48 months / 12K. The payment is $690 w/o tax and $740 w/tax.

 

I'm in the same scenario as CM09578 is. Had my 350 for 1 year on a 3 yr lease and turned it in so I was negative. Got a 3 yr 15,000 mile lease on the F with no money down and it's around $1,150 a month.

 

Hello New member here, lookinginto leasing an ISF, but wanted to know if there was any tricks to be aware of when negotiating with a Lexus dealer?

Someone said to try and get 0 down, 12-15000 miles per year, 2.9% Could someone tell me what the, "Cap and the 'MF' is?"

Also, how did you get $10,000 off of the Lex'? I want you to negotiate for me...lol

 

How can they come down soo much?? I mean the Car didn't drop down in price...?

 

1. DO NOT EVER PUT MONEY DOWN ON A LEASE. All you are accomplishing by doing that is paying it off for the dealer. Why the hell would you pay EXTRA money for something you are not going to own???

2. Do not ever think you "have" to put money down in order to lease a vehicle.

3. It's sales. Everything is negotiable to a point. You just have to play a little hardball. Tell them what you are willing to pay per month, you are not putting money down, what you will accept on your trade, and if they cannot get there on your terms, no deal.
Generally it helps to go straight to the finance manager b/c half the time the sales guys are retarded when it comes to discussing financials.

 

Leasing is one of the worst things you can do but do whatever it's your money. You're paying on the depreciation of an item. Buying a used car within 2 years of it's new model cycle is the best way to go. Here' my example,

A person leased a 2008 BMW 335xi coupe in 2008 when it was brand new. Their payments on it were roughly $700/month, so over the course of 2 years, they paid roughly $17000 which they didn't get any of that back. I happened to purchase this same car certified pre-owned with a warranty until 7/2014. I took my time looking for the right one and bought this one for $34,000 even. We put no cash down, financed at 4.5% rate through BMW financial. Each month, roughly $125 of our payment is interest, the rest goes towards the principal. We are now going to sell the car, I'm seeing many 335xi coupes listed for $33-36k. Let's just say, I sell it for what I buy it for. The only money I'm out of was the interest we paid to own the car. $125 x 24 months, total cost of ownership $3,000 and a nice feeling when I get a check for $14k. (we paid additional money each month on the balance as we normally do)

So, what I'm saying is, buy a 2010 ISF and pay yourself rather than Lexus for virtually the same exact car. I don't know much though. I'm just a country bumpkin from Missouri.

 

Wow, really waking up the dead on this thread

 

LOL. I didn't even notice the original post date of 2009 on this one.

 

My father told me the best reason not to lease
A) We drive to much (unless we are 50+ and have more then 1 car then leasing is fine)
B)It's a waste of money unless a company is paying for your lease
C)Seriously, we are on this forum to mod in some way....bad choice on a car that is not yours

Just my (and my Dad's) few cents of the day

 

LOL @ leasing.
