  Hi Car Man. Could you let me know the Lexus Financial money factor and residual rates for a RX 350 with Nav for a 2011 model year versus the 2012 model year for the Boston area? I'm trading a 2009 Pebble Beach edition they are being stingy with the details on their assumptions. They quoted me a 240 money factor for a '12 which seems high and I am somewhat indifferent ...

  With all due respect to previous posts.... The three vehicles you list are not generally considered "competitors". The RDX is noisy, rough-riding, and does not have a true AWD system. It is best compared to a Subaru Forester or a Nissan Rogue. The Lexus RX 350 is still popular, but is underpowered, limited in cargo space, and has long-surpassed it run in terms of styling. It is a suburban soccer mom's ... Read More

I believe that this cash is compatible with Lexus Financial Services' special lease program. If so, you do indeed have another $1,500 to play with in your negotiations.
