That's odd. I thought financing was arbitrary. You negotiate for the best price and at the end, you choose financing or leasing. If you choose leasing, you could choose to roll anything due at signing into the lease, like sales tax where applicable. Do I misunderstand the process?

Just finalized my deal for a ultra white/circuit red GS-F. I'm picking it up tomorrow. MSRP is 88k and I was able to negotiate down to 69k before TTL without much effort. I'm sure I could get it down to 68k or lower if I really push for it, but the sales manager was super cool, very honest and did everything I asked of him during the entire process. Maybe I left some money on the table, but 69k is still a fantastic price for a car like the GS-F. 
I couldn't have done it without the info and tips provided by everyone in this thread, so a very big "Thank You" for everyone here. I know I'll have a big grin on my face during my ride home tomorrow!

MJ0723 - good deal and congrats and you will have a smile on your drive home and then it only gets better after reading the manuals and playing with all the new goodies.
I also second the help gained from both the ISF and GSF boards. I know I would have left big bucks on the table if I did not find my deal through dialog on this board.

Thanks!! I'm thinking about getting the resonator delete done first and see how that goes. It's a very popular and simple mod that I read up on the RC-F forum. The best part of that mod is....it's reversible if I don't like it for whatever reason down the road.

Nope. That was only available during the Golden Opportunity Sales Event. I was going to hold out on purchasing one until their December to Remember Sales event starts as I was hoping Lexus would bring back the .9% financing rate. However, I just couldn't talk myself out of this deal that I had on the table. I financed it through my credit union at 1.9% as the dealership wasn't able to beat the rate. Overall, I believe I still got an awesome deal.
But 1.9% is excellent and essentially a 20k discount is phenomenal and it's a lot of car for the right amount of money! Now this makes the GS-F a highly desirable mid size luxury performance sedan for the money!
Congrats again and job well done on price! Post some pics of that bad boy when you get it!

I think the GSF would've been great with a starting MSRP of $75k
$88k is too high since it has to compete with S6 (in the 70 and low 80 range) as well as getting up to M5 territory
67k was a no brainer for me
