Leased a 2013 ES 300h today
#31
I believe these options are bundled with the Ultra Luxury Package. My parents are about to purchase an Ultra Luxury Package ES300h in Fire Agate Pearl with Parchment interior. The car has all options except Lane Departure and PCS which according to the dealer usually comes together. MSRP on the car is $47,792 plus destination. I seems the OP's car has all the options.
Very Nice!

Leasing 460L awd
Can I get an education on leasing a 2012 460L? I currently have a 2008 460l. Looking to get into a new one. Why should I look for in negotiating the lease payments andetc...?

Some individual items are part of a package, but others aren't. If you look at the 2013 ES300h Product Information sheet, there are the Premium, Luxury & Ultra Luxury packages. Ultra Luxury contains the items listed in the lower class packages (unless superceeded). If, in those packages any item says "(required)" behind it, it requires you to order and pay (On top of the Package price) for that item. I argued this point with the salesman that placed my order and told him that I wanted to order these items. Besides the Ultra Luxury Package (UL) ($2435.00), he ordered the (required) Park Assist (PA) ($500.00), the (required) Heated wood steering wheel (WV) ($450.00, but didn't order my requested (but required) HID headlamps (HD) ($515.00). I've received my "Order Report", VIN, etc., for a delivery for about a month from now. I'm not getting the HIDs that I had requested, but he didn't order. The Sales Manager offered to take this one and order another for me, but says there would be a further wait for up to six months for delivery! Very disappointed, but I plan to accept the car without the HIDs. The sales manager says even though it says "required", a dealer can, in some instances of special order, delete an "required" item. So, the Ultra Lulury price is well above the listed $2435, if you include the "required" items. In this case, $3900.00! My "Order Report" reflects this fact, though the (required) items are listed individually and not as part of the Ultra Luxury Package. You might be very disappointed with your order, if you wanted these options but didn't order them. I normally order my cars and was aware, but this particular salesman hadn't done this before and didn't appreciate what the "required" behind the item really implied. Even though this is a major dealership, he said that they only do about six real "special orders" per year. Only certain items are considered "special" for this nomenclature, I learned. I believe it was two, for this car. Also, I don't know what Lane Departure has to do with PCS. PCS is tied in with the Radar Cruise Control, as they use the same radar info for distance and closure rate. That isn't what is viewing your lane markers for Lane Departure Alert. Good luck with your order!
BTW has anyone confirmed if the 18" wheels are available on the Hybrid? This seems to be another mistake on the Lexus configurator page

There will be LS buyers who have leased and give you first hand information on that particular model.
