Awesome thanks!

Went to Mission Viejo today and had a less than pleasant experience. They decided to only match their own offer and not budge on anything. I showed them what they sold to my co-worker just a month back and basically said he was a liar and his car was cheaper. I asked them what the money factor was for their quote and they told me 0.00155. I told them their national deal for T1 credit right now is 0.0004 and that's what another dealership offered to me. Their manager declined and said they are the only ones who have the GS350 with navi in black (lie, I know the other dealership had it).

I told them no thanks and that I was leaving. The sales manager rushed out to stop us and tried to say that she would drop it down to the money factor but she would have to raise the selling price $1000, trying to make it like it was a deal for us. I was negotiating for my friend and she was really rude. Told her no thanks and unless you can take that same deal at the right MF we're walking and so we did.

Nice and straight forward guy since he knew that we have checked other dealers quote. Paul saved me time by gave me a clear discount price with all the incentives or rebate available. Paul at Lexus of 1000 oaks.

Paul is hands down a gentleman and best of sales for any Lexus dealer within a significant radius. You can't go wrong working with him, highly recommend his services.

I'm picking up 2014 GS F-Sport this friday.
27month lease 12k miles, $535a month, $2,000 Total due at signing.
MSRP $59,757

This is after 3 years in RX. I can't wait !

I had a few Infiniti's (06 g35 coupe, 08g35 sedan, 2011 M37sport).

After weeks of reading on this forum I've decided to go with GS-f sport over RX-f sport.

Did you have the ML option in that lease? Looking for similar lease rate myself and I'm just south of you a little ways.

hellye

I wish it had ML. for some reason they dont send them with ML ti east coast. I checked with a bunch of dealers and all say "custom order" - 3 months wait.

Mike00

I thought I've seen that. That is one thing that may honestly keep me out of the GS350. I want the ML it seems like a very stupid option to keep from us on the East Coast. The RWD cars I get but an Audio option is region based? Why?\

Thanks for the info. Guess i need to get out there and listen to the base audio to see how it compares to my B&O.

Here's my deal. MSRP is 61,076, Liquid platinum on black, w the 19 inch graphite rims AWD - sleek looking ride. I am paying 597/month including wisconsin tax (5.5% on payments)with nothing down but first month, title/etc. 36 months, 12k/year.

I have read some of the deals shared w.in this forum and either I got taken or there are folks not shooting straight. I negotiated the msrp down to 56,050. The guy would not budge from the 597 all in figure. I have read folks bragging in this forum about deals 70/month cheaper w/ higher state sales tax and equal or less cap cost w/ no money down. My guy even let me walk (and it was the end of the month) I looked around at other cars (was looking at an MKZ, TLX, and A6) and couldn't find anything that I liked as much as the f sport. He called me a few days later, i came in and inked the deal. An A6 lease doesn't remotely compare to f sport. and an MKZ is 10k cheaper cap cost car w/ the same payment. Go figure.

Also, the residual on mine is .58. Is this because i live in the tundra? All the salt, etc? or is that just the market in the midwest? Most of the RVs i have seen are in the .68-.71 range. Does he have to give the next guy .58 or did I not negotiate that effectively? God do I loathe car dealers. Grrrr. ;-)

Ill shut up after I say this... besides all of my complaining, it doesn't matter cuz this car drives, feels, and looks so farging cool, the best part about it is you don't see many of them on the road around here. They are head turners.

You got screwed. Whats done is done enjoy your ride. Most folks pay $51-52 on a $59 msrp don't forget lots depends on rebates, sometimes it $1500 sometimes it $2500

johnnyanus

i may have been screwed a bit. I have read that lease deals are always better where there is no snow, etc. That said, can you or anyone reading help on the difference between 12k/year and 15k/year as far as monthly? Pretend I have not signed anything. I know the penalty is .25/mile on the back end. Is it standard on the front end? Or do these car stealers try and screw you there, too?

PirelliRC

You can get a better than deal.

I got mine at Keyes Lexus.

2014 Lexus GS 350 RWD

MSRP: 52,795

Term: 36 months / 10k miles

$0 down , $0 tax and license, 1st payment included

Payment: $459/mo including tax.

I think I got an incredible deal.

SW17LS

To be fair, your car is $10,000 cheaper than Johnny's car, and less mileage. Not at all comparable.

Its usually .25 a mile. 15k vs 12k reduces the residual by 2%, thats the difference.

The region you live in (or actually buy in) plays a big role. Us folks who live in CA and TX seem to get really killer deals. The bottom line is that you feel like you got a good value for your monthly payment. Doesn't really matter what other folks got. The only real way to compare how good of a deal you got is to compare it with someone else in your region. Congrats on the new car!
