Default Picking up GS350 F-Sport Monday - Good deal??

hello,

I'm picking up my first lexus and its a 2015 GS 350 F-Sport.
MSRP $56,295. I'm leasing the car. 36 months/15k Year. $0 down, $598/Month. 1st payment is also included by lexes.
Silver exterior and Red Interior.
Let me know if this is a good deal or not. I've looked around and not finding anything better. Dealer wont go penny lower.

Almost the same deal I got. I say good deal, but the haters gonna hate. Yes, you can do better, but regardless, I say good deal. A lot of haters on here won't do apples-apples comparison when they give you their "awesome" numbers.

Texas has full taxes on leased vehicles like you in GA whereas many states do not, which makes a difference.

If you want to get the best deal you have to be willing to walk

Seems like a good deal as long as you are going to use the miles.

If you compare it to the December to Remember ad, you are paying $200 more a month - but you are also getting $8000 in options and 5k more miles a year, + one payment.

It looks like my dealer is not running this special. They have GS350 for $409 with $1999 down.

That's literally half of the rate for Canada - how is leasing so cheap in the states?

3 yr/12k miles: $557/month

$0 down, 1st month payment paid my lexus. Good deal?

Guys I picked up my F-Sport last night. I think I did good on the lease. I was able to negotiate little bit more.
12k/36 months
$537 month with 0 down. Feels good to drive a brand new car without paying any money upfront. 1st month payment is also included.
