Leasing A 2004 Awd Rx330

[IS300]

I just got quoted online from a local dealership. I asked for a 2004 AWD RX330 for $39,900. I plan to lease for 36 months with 15,000miles/year. I will be puttind down $3000 to lower my monthly payments. Now considering the fact that no negotiation took place and this makes me believe that I can even go lower than what they offered. What did everyone else pay? This SUV will come with what most RX comes with w/out the nav and suspension and all the luxury options.

anyone?

I assume $39,900 is the negotiated price, whats the sticker price?

[IS300]

41 and change. A different dealer quoted me for 540 a month including tax for 15,000miles/36 months with 3000 for cap cost reduction. Is this a good deal for a rx330?

I think you could do better on the MSRP.

Have you checked out sites like www.edmunds.com?

[IS300]

sticker is something like 42000....

$2100 off isn't spectacular though. I got $4000 off my ES300. My dad got $3,000 off his LS430 two weeks into the model year.

Impossible to judge actual deal "value" without knowing monthly payment and residual.

And you don't want to negotiate the deal based on the lease payment either. You want to negotiate the price, THEN negotiate the residual. To check out some lease prices check www.leasecompare.com Lots of times car dealers will try and negotiate the lease payment instead of the price, they can hide profit that way because leasing is so complicated. Or, because they make it look so complicated.
