The other thing is my two closest dealers only have four total 2016 GS350s in inventory. Three of the four are white which I do not want. My lease is up around Labor Day and I was told that the GS inventory won't improve
any by then. I live in the NW and need AWD which limits going to a California or Nevada dealer. The Washington dealers inventories are only slightly better. Good luck ever finding a Blue GS350awd in stock.

So people aren't really trying to save the planet, they're just babbling that nonsense because oil/gas prices were so high?

More often than not, people only respond when it affects their wallet.

Sorry to go "political", but this "green" nonsense rubs me the wrong way.

Residuals are never negotiable. They are set by Lexus Financial Services. It's the only part of the lease that is not negotiable.

I think he is referring to the BMW residual buyout being negotiable. Not the residual value at the beginning of the lease.

2015 with 8k miles for 36k prices going down the drain.

Any accident history? No Options like navigation? MSRP 49K, purchased for 45. $9K depreciation in 1 year, a little steep. Not unheard of for a luxury vehicle. bluebook on this no options is 39K.

Again, accident report?

Remember the massive discount Lexus was having on the 2015 GS? Yea.. that.

Clean Carfax and 15's have standard navigation.

This. At the end of the year it was easy to get a new '15 GS with 12K discount from MSRP, without even trying. All the dealers I talked to had the same deal going on.

Yes but quite possibly a no other options car... Like a $52K MSRP AWD or $49K MSRP RWD.

Not a car I would inventory.

jtrue28

Easy in California. Most other dealers weren't giving the cars away like they do out there.

Is the resale value still suck now? I thought it would be improving.

Now u can get 5K off on the GSF right off the bat from Lexus.

Here's a good rule of thumb to use, and I sell 50 used Lexus in a bad month

New car market (Not MSRP, I mean what you can buy one for) $43,000

This makes Pre-Owned, current year, baby mile market $39,995

Deduct roughly $2,500 margin, $500 service and whatever cert costs are... On a GS that means $36K is what I'd have to trade it for assuming the above figures (And I pulled the $43K figure out of the air).
