What state are you in? You should ask the dealer about the Money Factor and also post here to get the base rate from Lexus: > **[2020 Lexus RX Lease Deals and Prices - Page 9](https://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/58251/lexus/rx-350/2020-lexus-rx-lease-deals-and-prices/p9)** > > Can I please get the MF/RV/incentives for Zip code : 91764 Vehicle : 2020 Lexus RX350L and RX350? Mil/Year : 10k/27 mo. Mil/Year : 7.5k/27 mo. Thank you! You shouldn’t put any cash down on the least…just fees and 1st month due at signing…looks like that should be less than the $2,000 currently due at signing. ---

I assume the 2k is first month + acquisition + title/doc/reg ? If so, I think it’s a solid deal. ---

Yes, MF and Res are confirmed. I’m in CA $2k is towards inception mostly, but here is the break down: Net Cap Cost Reduction: $2,186 Inception Fees: $1,313 Taxed cash down: $686.74 ---

Can you put everything into the leasehackr link? Based on what you provided it looks solid but want to make sure I’m interpreting everything correctly. ---

CA title fee $12 Dealer Administrative Charge $85 Electronic Filing Fee $30 License Fee $333.0 Tire Fee $8.75 Transfer Fee $51 Acquisition Fee $795 CHP Fee $26 CA TIF $150 First Payment $533.04 Grand Total DAS: $2023.79 So, they’re showing $1490 in fees + 1st month. Does that seem normal for CA? ---

Is this for a 27/10 term? If so, I think this is a solid deal If you are not needing a L, you should look into the Fsport performance at 61k, assuming you can get similar discounting. Your monthly will come out lower because of higher RV. ---

> [@dloco](#): > > What is that 2,000 customer cash paid? I’m assuming thats the $2000 due at signing. It shows cap cost reduction of $2,186.74. Can the $1500 rebate be used towards cap cost reduction? If so, looks like they’re using part of that plus my $2k? ---

Yeah so based on what I’m seeing there, it looks like 1,500 is the lease cash rebate than it has you putting down 2K down payment less the tax+dealer fee+title/doc and the 880 fee is probably 795 acq fee + 85 admin fees You need to have them clarify on the 2k because if it is indeed downpayment, you do not want that. ---

For SOCAL that is about right. My GS350 F sport MRSP was a bit more and after deep discounts my monthly was about $560 after taxes (with zero down and zero drive offs and 15K miles a year).
