2014 luxury model
So I visited/called a few Northern California dealers looking for a 2014 luxury model. No one seems to have any, but say they will find me one. Then they check inventory and realize there aren't many around. One dealer told me "they are fazing out the luxury model; people are buying the F Sport." He said they are only available by special order. That doesn't seem right, but there are not many around. Anybody know about this?

All lies IMO. I'll go as far to say F-Sport sales are not even 1:1 with the premium/luxury. While the '14s are slowly coming in, the dealerships want to push the '13s out, and they'll say anything to get you in one. Stand firm and get the car you want.

Wouldn't surprise me....Lexus has done similar things with the UL models in the ES and LS...

Received a lease quote of $680 per month plus tax for a 36 month lease @12,000 miles per year for a luxury model. 0 down; MSRP at $59,402, invoice at $55,725. Car includes ML, Nav, blind spot, park assist, illuminated sills and accessory (cargo net/wheel lock, etc.). Supposedly he gave me first payment and $1,200 drive off. It does NOT have cold weather package, lane change, power trunk, heads up display or pre collision.

That deal doesn't sound that great to me. $680 plus tax seems really high.

Ask them what they would do on a 27 month lease....

My residual was 68% + 3% (for only 10k miles) = 71%
You might do much better if you go for a 27 month lease. From what others on this forum have statued, Lexus will let you extend the lease at the same payment for an additional 6 months. That would take you to 33 months. I would also check the money factor.

MSRP 60,587
Residual 37,563.94 (62%)
Sale Price 56,992
Rebate 1,250
I'm trading in an older lexus, using some of the trade for fees+tax, and down payment to reduce mo payments, and pocketing some cash. Without factoring in the trade, in a situation where you only put down taxes and fees upfront, the lease would be approx. $639.74/mo.
ETA: Its a Luxury package + Nav + cold weather pkg + blind spot w/ pwr mirrors + park assist + one touch trunk + wheel lock/trunk mat/cargo net.
