I picked mine up from Lexus of Beverly Hills - aka Jim Falk Lexus
You must speak to Feng Li there - he's the man with the deals

No guarantee you can get the same deal though because my credit was high 700's, but he will likely beat out everyone else in terms of best deals. He was the man!

Just from my experience from the past 2 weeks it's obvious to me now that the better deals will come from the Lexus dealers that move lots of inventory per month. Don't expect a "happy" deal from the smaller guys because they seem to need to make as much as possible on every car.

In Tri-State area I suggest Rt. 10 Lexus in New Jersey. My salesman was Chris L. with another guy B.Y. Lee stepping in to help me get out faster. Chris though is the man to talk to. Be sure to say that Sean spoke nicely about him. Told him that I'd recommend him to everyone!!!

nice deals you guys are getting from the So Cal dealers, I am going to try and target $530/month $0 down.Except I would like to do 15,000 mile/year. How much more do you think the monthly would go up if I added the miles? I would like to stay at 0 down.

Damn didn't know it would go up that much per month, i was thinking $20-30 more a month. should I just pay for the mileage overage afterwards and stick to the 10k/year or negotiate it upfront?

Definitely negotiate it upfront. Upfront it will cost you about $1200-$1500, however, on the back end it could potentially end up costing you $3000-$5000 more depending on how much you go over. I believe you should be able to pull off 15k miles a year for around 540-550 a month.

However, there is another little trick I learned. Lexus has vehicle damage protection that can be purchased along with your new car for around $750. I believe the damage protection is up to $8,000 or something like that. It covers any sort of existing damage to the vehicle upon returning your lease. Most dealers will apply this damage protection to overage mileage as well. So check that out!

Let me know how it works out for you

Another option is to trade out of the lease at the end as well. If the dealer can get you the buyout then he can take it on trade and there won't be any excess mileage charges.

thanks guys for all the help. just test drove one today and thought it felt great, good interior with every feature imaginable, nice exhaust noise. only gripe i had was the seat (super comfy and supportive though) felt like i was much higher off the ground but that could be me coming off a 325 bmw. I asked the dealer about doing a $530/month with 15,000 miles and he said that it was achievable. I will definitely ask about the vehicle damage protection.

Hey guys... what are you seeing in the northeast? The best I been able to achieve is $2,000 down, 12,000 miles @ 27 months with Lexus pickup up the first payment $599.00 a month for 26 months on a 2014 GS350 AWD F-Sport MSRP 59,742.
