Ajummas! C-lais! We have great news for you!
Our data is showing that transaction prices on RX 350, a popular midsize luxury crossover SUV from Lexus, are trending down. Combined with the strong residual values you'd expect of the brand, and a low money factor, and you could be driving this prestigious-looking SUV for way less than you'd think. (The German equivalents will cost at least $200+ more a month.)

Current Lease Program - Valid Through October 31, 2017
The cost of leasing a particular car is determined by its lease program, which is set by the manufacturer, and the selling price, which is set by the dealer. Here is the current lease program for a 2017 RX 350 through Lexus Financial Services:

These residuals assume 10,000 miles per year. Deduct 1% for 12,000 miles per year. Deduct 3% for 15,000 miles per year. The posted money factor (MF) rate assumes top tier credit. Below are the available incentives for 2017 RX 350.

Selling Price
A lightly-optioned 2017 Lexus RX 350 FWD has an MSRP of $45,154. Here in Southern California, the average selling price is approximately 6% off MSRP. We would target a selling price of $40,000 (11% off MSRP), which represents an excellent price that most internet sales departments in the region should honor, before incentives.
