2011 Lexus Lease Rates – June 2011


Lexus has not changed the residual value of their IS250 since March! The money factor has also gone down a little bit. Normally, this is a good thing. However, the sale prices for all things Lexus have shot up significantly, making the lease more expensive. Based on the calculation below, the price difference between a March lease of the IS250 vs the June lease is about $45 or $1620. Pretty hefty huh?

My wife has recently made her desire for a IS250 (as her next lease) known, so I am really hoping numbers start improving over the next year or so. Lucky for us, her lease does not end until Feb 2013, which gives us a year and a half to see how Toyota handles their recovery process. At the moment, I am suspecting that her Jetta’s payoff is probably around the same as it’s wholesale value since her Jetta is pretty rare. I’m hoping there is at least $1000 worth of positive equity by the time she decides to trade it in.

2011 Lexus Lease Rates – March 2011


Surprisingly enough, the majority of the Lexus lineup renamed the same as February (that’s three consecutive months with same rates!). However, there are exception. The GS350 AWD had 1% drop in residual and the HS got a drop in MF (residual stayed the same). Lastly the RX350 gets a drop in money factor (same residual). Not a bad month for Lexus (just look at the IS250, cheap!). Overall, you should enjoy about the same payments as last month for most models and slightly less for others (HS and RX). Lower prices should also make March a better month than February.

A special note regarding when to buy/lease. It has been statistically proven that buying/leasing towards then end of a month is generally cheaper than at the beginning. Therefore, if you can afford to wait until the end of each month, do so. You could be saving hundreds just by being a little bit more patient.

2011 Lexus Lease Rates – February 2011


Different month, same old lease rates. That is what the numbers look like this month for Lexus. Not the strongest leasing month, but I think the IS250 is a borderline good deal here due to a slightly lower sale price than anticipated. This allows the IS to squeak into the GOOD DEAL territory, which generally consists of rides with a RWG rating of 90 to 99.

2011 Lexus Lease Rates – January 2011


This month’s numbers are improved from last month. However, that’s not to say they are great (they are okay if you stick with the IS250). The MF has come down some what, but could still use a little bit more of a drop. The IS250 is looking like the best deal in terms of Residual/MF combination.

2010-11 Lexus Lease Rates – December 2010

logo_lexusMy Take: 2010 numbers should have remained unchanged from November, which means the cash should still be there too. 2011 number look more attractive due to a lower mf and higher residual, but you probably won’t get as much of a discount. Will post more and make updates as they come, so stay tuned.

2010-11 Lexus Lease Rates – September 2010

logo_lexusMy Take: Nothing too exciting here. The RX450h’s 48-month lease does look somewhat promising since the residual is pretty decent and the MF is not too bad either. Divide all that over 48-months and your payments should look manageable.
