Well after a long drama with lexus, I finally have my 2008 RX 350 FWD. The specific vehicle I wanted and color was damaged while in transit so I had to choose another color with a slightly different options package. This is what I got: 2008 RX 350 FWD 18" 5-Spoke Aluminum Alloy Wheels, Multi-Stage Heated Front Seats with Rain-Sensing Wipers and Headlamp Washers, Navigation System, Premium Plus Package, Towing Prep Package, Cargo Mat, Tow hitch with Ball Mount, Wheel Locks, All Weather Mats, All windows tinted, Full Size Spare 18" Alloy, Total was 43569.00 - taxes and all fees included. Good Deal?

Yes, out the door includes sales tax, all fees, etc so I am paying for the vehicle and all fees which will total $43500.00. I have spoke to Lexus of Tampa Bay and Clearwater and they wont go as low as this. Lexus of Orlando is the only one that has given me this offer and I am leaning to them because of the offer plus they are not over a 100 miles from me. I tried calling them today to find out more details but he was out today. I don't have all the numbers because they did not have the vehicle I wanted in stock and they said it was at the port in Jacksonville so they did not want me to start any paperwork until they were absolutely sure that they had the vehicle and there was nothing wrong with it. Sales tax in Orlando in 7 %. I was going to go through AAA or one of those auto buying service but I don't have either. I am just going to put down a little extra money and buy the vehicle. You had a very good point. If I am going to put down all that money, it would just be better for me to buy the vehicle right out.

This is from MSN Auto invoice and MSRP prices. 2008 Lexus RX 350 Invoice MSRP 33099 37400 - Base Price 2225 2650 - Navigation System 1854 2060 - Premium Plus Package 95 95 - All Weather Mats 295 415 - Tow Hitch Receiver with Ball Mount 396 495 - Full Size Spare 715 715 - Destination Charge 38188 43240 - Total Cost Now these numbers are from MSN Auto. They are also tinting the car for me. According to Lexus, they said I would have an "out the door" cost of 43500.00. How does this sound to you? Good or bad? This looks good here but I am sure that I may be missing something here. I will check out capital one finance and other finance companies to see what their finance rates are.

I am leasing the vehicle for 48 months. The good thing about this is that I have not signed any papers yet. It looks like it would be better for me to buy this vehicle right out at $43500.00. That included everything I listed above and I do have excellent credit. For what I listed, is $43500.00 a good or bad price for that 2008 RX 350? It includes taxes, all fees, etc. I am confused right now. The sales manager is telling me that with $12000 down as trade-in and #3300 down, I will have a monthly payment of $250.00 for 48 months. What do you suggest that I do? I like the vehicle and want to keep it. I was going to lease it and purchase it at the end of the lease (cash buyout). Basically having low monthly payments then making a balloon payment at the end. Or I could have larger payments over the life of the loan but it could be mine.

I am using the multiple security deposit option where I maxed out the 9 security deposits and almost all of the money I am putting down is used for the multiple security deposit. Plus I am getting the gap insurance. I know its alot of money to put down but I wrote off that $12000.00 basically. The $3300.00 is a gift for my birthday so I am not really out anything. The $12000.00 is a trade-in that I owned out right and I was tired of that vehicle so at least this way I get a vehicle that I want. The most important thing to me right now is to get the vehicle I want with the low payment. I don't use my vehicle alot so at the end of the lease, I would most likely buy the vehicle because in 3 years of owning my previous car, I had low miles. You are absolutely right about the lease factor / interest rate. I must have misunderstood or wrote down the wrong number. I contacted them to reconfirm the number. Just to be sure, the multiple security deposit works like this: if I make a $1200.00 deposit, then I would be able to make make (9) additional deposits of $1200.00? I appreciate all the help from this website. Since I am new to leasing, the research I had done plus the advice from people has helped greatly.

Good morning. I am leasing a 2008 Lexus RX 350 FWD with the navigation system, premium plus package, tow hitch receiver, all weather mats, all windows tinted, full size spare tire, 1 year of AAA for lexus. for $43,500.00. Interest rate at 4.68 %. Money factor of .003. This is with $3300.00 down and $12000.00 for trade in at 48 months. Monthly payment of $250.00. Oh yeah this is out the door with everything included. Is this a good deal?
