Please help! Iam thinking to get the RC 350 instead of the IS350 Fsport
I just leased my 2015 IS 350 F Sport almost 2 months ago and right now iam debating if shouldve gotten the 2015 RC 350 instead. But iam already in the 36 month lease. What other options can I do? Am I stuck? or i can bring my car to the lexus dealer and get the RC. I just drove less than 900 miles in it. Please help thank you!

What their offer is the compare it to your payoff on IS. See how much upside down you are and if that something you are willing to take

OK....I'll help. If you want my opinion, simply enjoy your new IS, finish the lease, and stop worrying or losing sleep at night about whether you should have gotten this or that...life's too short. Fly2low is correct that there are often snags in getting of out a lease prematurely, and you could take a real bath. Besides, you'll have plenty of time in the future to get an RC if you want one......and by that time, other vehicles may (?) also be on the market that you are interested in. You could end up wishing that you had gotten one of THEM instead of an RC.

The pursuit of F
I test drove an RC 350 F Sport and besides the exterior look and some minor trim changes (and door panels) on the inside, I felt like I was driving my IS. Not enough of a change personally to take a financial hit to make the switch at this time. And perhaps this is not an issue for you, but the tight rear seat was also a tough sell even if it would only be used the odd time by my kids or friends/co-workers.

I did my coupe stint with the G35...in that car, I didn't really like the look of the 1st gen sedan and the coupe was gorgeous...easily the best looking car in the class at the time. With the IS, it looks almost as good as the RC while being MUCH lighter and more functional and cheaper. I think the OP should just appreciate what he has.

But if he can live with the cost of switching, more power to him. I think OP wants to know if he can get out of the lease, or is he stuck for 36 months.

That's a pretty big IF, but if the money and hassles are not an issue, then, fine, go for it. He wanted our opinions, though, and I certainly wouldn't do that myself.
