The residual and money factors are set by LFS, but the dealer is free to mark up the money factor. To make sure you're not getting marked up on the money factor you need to calculate your monthly payments yourself to see if the numbers work out right.

You need to read up on the basics of leasing. If you negotiate the price down to $38,000, you still need to tell us what the residual value is for the vehicle given the terms of your lease, as well as the money factor (basically interest rate) that he is charging you. Don't just talk monthly payment with the dealer, you need to get all those numbers I mentioned above and then we can tell you if you're getting a fair shake. Also, I don't know if they will consider your credit scores "excellent". I don't know what their cutoffs are but you may not qualify for their top tier credit.

Sorry, I can't help you with the money factor since I don't know how Car_Man gets those numbers. Car_Man is posting in other threads so I'm not sure why he's taking so long to get here. Try to send him an e-mail maybe.

As a followup, I ended up negotiating the price of the vehicle to $40,000.

Hey Car_man, I hope you didn't read my message wrong. I wasn't saying I don't believe you, I just wanted to make sure you sent me the correct numbers since 59% is also what the dealer ave me as the residual value but it just seemed a bit low. Thanks.

Are you sure about the residual value being only 59%? This seems only very very slightly higher than after 3 years/15,000 miles. Also, I have seen people posting money factors lower than 0.002 in this thread. Was there some sort of support from Lexus that has now ended? In my original post I asked how you are getting the residual values and money factors. Do you have some sort of inside knowledge? I am asking this so I know how much I can trust your numbers if I try and negotiate with the dealer. Finally, what do you think about a 24 month lease vs a 36 month lease? I was thinking I could lease for 36 months and try to find someone to takeover my lease for the last 12 months if I don't want to keep the car any longer. I read the articles you linked to in your reply already. Thanks.
