[QUOTE=LEXSTASY;8295234]Ummmm, I donnoooo, I think im about $15-$20 bucks cheaper than the next closest number I have seen. And yea I dont think they were being hush to make ME feel good because why would they specifically ask me to refer people to them but not mention the exact price? If it was a price that they are willing to give all day, wouldn't it make more sense for me to go around telling people where I got the car from and at what price so it would increase their sales?? LOL yea that doesn't make sense, I think the more logical thing is that they made next to nothing on my sale and would rather avoid deals like mine.


So then how could you honestly refer someone if you're unwilling to tell them what your price is. The whole idea of sending one of us there is because you're willing to tell us the price and say where you got it. Otherwise your recommendation becomes a trap for the person you send there. Shrugs

Sorry brother, they said please don't tell anyone the price you got it for and I gave them my word. My word is my bond. That is all I know.

Lexstasy's deal total:
495/month
$500 down
26 Months (assuming first month free)
Total: $13370
Total: $13865 (if first month NOT free)

A deal I just closed:
531/month
$0 down
26 Months (first month free)
Total: $13806

Honestly... it's just a $436 difference (or ~1 month payment -- assuming Lexstasy's deal was first month free). Where did I get it? Anthony @ Longo Lexus. Honestly... it was the smoothest car transaction I've had in my life. As long as Anthony works there I'll probably go through him for all my future cars. Literally... 0 hassle, 0 negotiation. Flat out best deal and I took it.

Yes that is also a commendable deal. However, just a couple corrections (see corrections above), my deal was for 24 months (23 because first month was included) and that is exactly how I wanted it so I could avoid paying registration for a whole 3rd year and only driving the car for 3 months. That is the only downfall to the Lexus 27 month lease term but it is such a waste of money that I had to negotiate for that 24 month term which changed things up a little because of the differing residuals. Just something to consider for anyone who is interested in leasing a Lexus.

11815 vs 12213 at 23 month mark. Again, very minimal difference. Contact Anthony for a great deal.

The deals you guys are getting are very tempting. I'm thinking of trading in my ES. I would love to have a RWD car again.

Default Shopping for a 2014 GS

At the dealer today, who tells me flaxen interior very rare and he needs to search and locate for me. Also days GS models low on inventory. Anyone heard anything about this? I am shopping. Red 2014 with nav, blind spot monitor, park assist. When i told him i was considering the safety features,(Lane assist, etc) he said these were even rarer. I am i. Florida

Jim Faulk. I didn't feel like sitting in traffic for an hour to go to Longo I'll probably go in an hour or two when traffic dies down.

At Jim Faulk, they followed me to the car with a payment of 7 something when they started at 9 something. Ridiculous.

Beverly Hills so their rent may play some part, but some ppl in the forum got good deals at this stealership. I think it all depends on your salesperson and his/her boss.

May be they were quoting you for TWO cars. Haha...
