Anyone got a good lease on a GS 350 during March's "Command Performance Sales Event"?
Greetings all!
Awesome site by the way and a great way to give the power back to us consumers.
I was wondering if anyone had recently leased a 2014 GS F Sport AWD this month (March 2014)? We've been to two Lexus dealerships in northern NJ and one in PA. The best offer we had on a 2014 GS 350 AWD F Sport with a total MSRP of $59,818 was around $575/mo.
$575/mo for 12k miles a year. The one NJ dealership did not want to give up these cars at around $52-$55k. The money factor was pretty good at 0.00035*2400 = 0.84. They didn't even discuss the residual. All inception fees were factored in the total cap cost and we wanted $0 out of pocket except for tags & registration. Sales manager stated that they cannot yet give up these cars at the numbers we brought to the table.
Anyway, if you're willing, do please share the numbers that you were given. We're trying to replicate some of the lease numbers we found on this site, but to no avail. We're going to try again on the last week of this month and probably even up until the 31st. I'll let you guys know how it went. Talk to ya'll soon.

Keep in mind alot of the numbers for deals are localized. California people pay next to nothing for leases and regularly pay invoice plus tax. It also varies by dealership. Keep hunting, maybe spread your search out to more PA dealerships (says you're in PA), the bigger the more likely they will want to move inventory. Hit them the last week of the month, when they're getting their end of month (and end of quarter) numbers sewn up and will practically give it to you to make numbers.
Also there's the old game of playing one dealer against another, which I used to my advantage. Get a paper quote with all the numbers, fax it to the other dealer telling them to beat it, back and forth until you're satisfied or they're tired of you.

Hmmm...my sales person asked me if he can call me back after April 1st to let me know if he'd gotten deals with the numbers we were giving him. Better offers then? New quarter for Toyota/Lexus? Probably cuz it's a new month and a whole new game from that point.
.00065 * 2400 = 1.56 APR is pretty good too!
We're going to try again this coming last week. I'll let you guys know what happened.

MSRP of $59,818 seems to be the number for a lot of cars listed in East coast dealers inventory. Is the monthly including the sales tax?

Leasing a 2014 FSport with Nav, parking assist, blind spot and the cargo net package. MSRP just under $58k. Leasing for $590/month 3 years, 15k per, nothing down and including tax (TX).

Hey!!!! Welcome to Lexus! I was a previous owner of a 2011 BMW 535i and I sold it for the gs fsport 2 years ago and im still very happy with the GS. I couldn't stand the bmw ride and sloppy handling etc. Wandering was also a problem . I remember talking to you alot on bimmerfest.

One dealer (sales manager) in norther NJ when we gave him our numbers:
Cap Cost: $54,200
Residual: 73%
MF: .00035 (84% APR)
Lease: $500+ , no greater than $550
Out of pocket expenses: no less than $748 (tags & registration)
told us that he was not willing to let the car go under $56k..."not now" he says and especially since he only had one GS 350 AWD F Sport Obsidian/Cabernet ($59,818.00 MSRP).
We'll give it another go at the last week of this month and even till the last day. If not we're willing to try after April 1st as my sales person asked if he can call me at that time. I'll let you guys know the quotes I'm getting this coming week when we go ahead and reach out to other NJ dealerships as well as some PA ones. Keep fighting the good fight peepz!

And thanks, looking forward to it. Lot of things I will miss about my 5 series. iDrive looks like it kills Remote Touch, but we shall see. But I am excited about the drive, especially with the 8 speed tranny!

Needsdecaf - I also remember you over at the F10 boards, small world (Ksoze). When you detailed your deal above, how does Texas handle taxes - I thought it was charged on selling price up front as opposed to adde to each payment. Is your payment listed assuming that?

Interesting to see the BMW folks here. I have a 550 that is my car, the new GS is my wife's, but I have driven it several times now. I'll write up a comparison thread soon.
These are great lease deals. I leased a 2010 GS for 3 years/45,000 miles at $725 or so a month with no money down and that was a great deal then on a $51,000 car. Amazing the difference 4 years later.
