Got it. Still I got a discount of over 10% off sticker plus the base money factor, lease cash, & Morgan Stanley incentive. The discount was on par with what some of the brokers were offering.
My Mom actually drives 25,000 miles per year (the 2016 Cayenne she traded in on the RX had 80,000 miles on it).
Depreciation, the highest cost of vehicle ownership is fixed on a lease. No matter what happens in the next 27 months, my Mom’s Lexus won’t lose any more value than stated in the lease agreement. If she were to buy (and pay higher monthly payments), she’d trade the RX350 in within 3 years. At that point it would have over 70,000 miles. All the other RX’s on the lot like hers would at least 1/2 the miles, maybe less. That’s assuming her car is in perfect condition with no dings on the car fax.
Yes. Her monthly payment is $674. If she were to take a loan out, the payments would be somewhere in the $833 per month range before factoring in interest.
