My Take: IS250 Automatics have a solid money factor this month. Money factor dropped from .00135 to a low .00040! Here’s the even better news! The residual stayed the same as March!! That is fantastic news for those that have been eagerly awaiting some lease support on the IS250s. If you are looking buy, there isn’t any special financing or cash rebates available, so you probably should lease or pay cash.

I spoke with my local Lexus dealer about a lease on a 2009 IS 250 AWD. I told him I wanted a price on a 36-month lease using the .0004 money factor listed above. He insisted that this the wrong factor and that the correct one is .001. He wanted to know where I got the .0004 from. That’s a good question, where do you obtain your factors from?
They are supposed to LFS rates. keep in mind that dealers can pad the money factor or require a security deposit in order to get the base rate, so check around with other dealers.
