Ordinarily yes, but some markets are much more competitive than others , so that plays a huge factor. If there is only 1 lexus dealership in a 2 hr radius vs 4 or 5, you'll have different pricing. That's what happened to US automakers.

Any idea how many miles allowed per month?

"Any idea how many miles allowed per month? "

I believe that deal is for a 10,000 miles per year lease with .25 per mile for any excess.

I also think that all ES 350 leases in December get the first month lease payment up to $700 paid by Lexus which isn't bad on such a new model.

There's no way I could limit myself to only 10,000 miles a year. What's the sense in having a nice new luxury car sitting in the driveway and being afraid to drive it because you don't want to run up the mileage?

I'd never even consider a lease unless it was for 15,000 miles minimum. Even then, I'd have to think twice...

Agree with many here - the ES is probably not included in the Dec2Rem promotion.

I bought an ES300h with blind spot mirrors, pwr sun shade, LDA / Intelligent Hi Beam, Luxury Package, pwr trunk, parking assist, pre-collision system, rain-sensing wipers, heated steering and accessory package - all just before the event started: Got about 7+% off the MSRP and negotiated "for free" 3M rock shield (includes front end, mirrors, door edges), weather mats, rear bumper applique, and door guards and 50% off a service agreement.

Later, when I suggested to my sales person that perhaps I should have waited, he indicated that I beat him up pretty good - so, for this particular car, it's about as good as it would get. For now, at least.

What do you mean "probably not"?

I already posted the actual December to Remember details in this thread (in the 2nd post and a few posts above this one. There's no agreeing or disagreeing. It is, and intended to be, a factual statement.
(that last bit was supposed to be a bit humorous, but not political)

Does anybody have a feeling if there are more ES350h's available now in general? And if there are going to be any discounts on them? I was told by local dealer in Durham, NC that they are hard to come by. So of course the dealer has no incentive to negotiate. I'm in DC area so am wondering if things are better here.

Do you mean ES300h? (Hybrid?) In my locale (San Diego) there are plenty of vehicles, and deals can be made significantly below MSRP.

Try this site, just one tool of many: http://www.truecar.com I plugged in a generic zipcode for Durham and found your pricing to be significantly higher than mine - 92058.

Thanks for this post! We're looking at a 300h in the September/October time frame and the first Atlanta area dealer we went to spoke how he might be able to offer a discount lol! Nice to see that sizeable discounts can be had in our area.

May I recommend Joe Robb at Hennessy Lexus, give him a try and tell him I recommended him. He is a fantastic salesperson and everyone I have recommended him to has received a good deal and agree that he is an extraordinary salesperson. I just checked truecar and they currently show about a $2,000 off MSRP on a fully loaded 2013 ES 300h.

Well, if you can wait until Sept/Oct, the new 2014 models should be coming out and you should be able to get a great deal for the 2013. Actually, as the year gets older, so do the prices of the ES. The dealers need to move their remaining inventory for the new model year, so they'll be dealing. The drawback is you may not have the selection or options you want.
