I lease a 2017 RX350 for 3y/30k miles. I have 9 months left on the lease but already drove 31.5k miles so I am above the required mileage.
I am expecting to drive ~6k in next 9 month. My MSRP was ~55k and negotiated price was ~51k and my RV is ~35k.
SUV is in great shape and no issues except one wheel has a slight curb scrub.
I start getting emails from Lexus Financial and Lexus dealer and they already offering me a new lease with 3 month payments waived on the current lease.
I dont want to lease another RX350 and thinking either to Buy this out at ~35k or just take this to another dealer like Audi and lease a Q5 or Q7.
Current Buyout price is ~$39k
Does LFS negotiate the RV price since this Vehicle will be easily 8k above the 30k miles limit.??
I dont mind paying 30k-32k for this SUV but to me $35k is a bit extreme on a 38k miles SUV.
Now I did negotiate the deal for 36k miles but my Bad I never saw the Finance guy somehow use a 30k miles on the final lease doc ( honest mistake or an old trick, dont know).
I find that out after 1 year and they swear to me that paper shows 10k miles per year.
Any one has prior experience with LFS offering a better RV price then the original RV price. ?

Do you have the paperwork for your lease?

So Finance guy used the final numbers monthly payments but somehow used the 10k as compare to 12k. The official lease says 10k and thats what he put in from those papers.
I blaming my self since I never verified the 12k and that number was on page 2 of the lease, I was too occupied with Taxes, Fees and other $ amounts.
So that is over now and may be he made an honest mistake or did it intentionally I have no way to prove it.

I dont have the original paper work which was like a piece of paper and numbers handwritten where we start with 10k and got a monthly payment, then I moved to 12k and make few changes like bigger wheel size, etc..

Lexus does not let you negotiate your buyout/residual. This is why I ended up just returning my 15 GS. I wanted to buy it but the buyout was more than it was worth.

I guess I have only 4 options left .
Return the SUV at the end of lease and pay the mileage penalty .
Buy the SUV at the end of lease at the RV price of $35k .
Lease another Lexus car like IS 350 before 3 months into end of lease to get the 3 month credit of my old lease . Not sure they will still penalize me on my extra mileage since I am leasing a Lexus again from same dealer.
Last option is to take to other dealer and trade in for their SUV .That means they be buying my Lexus at the buyout price .

Were you going over the mileage limit ? If you decid to keep the Car then 2% is a very good rate.
Sometime % also depends upon which Tier you fall under, I believe 1.9% is for Tier 1..

These are the rates for a lease, and financing a purchase is around 3.4 to 3.9%, and once it is used, it is 5.9%, they made a cut of 0.5% for me...

As the interest rate is usually low in a Lexus lease why would you buy it out early instead of waiting to the end to buy it. Is there a financial advantage I'm missing?
