Hi guys,
I want to purchase a 2015 lexus GX 460.
I went to the dealership yesterday and they offered me a demo model with 380 miles driven on it.
They said that they will give me ~5000.00 off MSRP, and that it is a special discount.
Obviously the car is used as there are scuff marks on the inside, but they could probably be finished off and cleaned easily.
Based on all the other deals that most people have gotten here (roughly 5000.00 below MSRP), I don't really think that this is such a good deal.
Do you guys feel that I could negotiate better? than the ~5000.00 off MSRP?
They said that they would give the car to me for $52597.00. They also mentioned that I would be getting 1.99% financing.

With that car being a demo, you may be able to get a little more off. I have no idea how much they will budge on it but, if they refuse to go any lower, then I would just tell them you want one with 0 miles for that price or shop around and find a dealer who will give you one with zero miles for that price.
Also keep in mind that, at the moment, it is nearing month end and July is usually a big month for dealers so whether or not they have met their targets this month may help or hurt you depending on the circumstances of each dealer. Also keep in mind that the 2016 is not all that far off (my dealer quoted me around the early October frame for that release) so to the extent any dealers have a bunch of these in stock (which is rare), you may be able to get something a little better as we creep nearer to that time, especially on a demo model.
Good luck!!

I used True Car and got quotes around $5000-5500 off MSRP. GX 460 Premium; $51k and change depending on options. $300 processing, plus tax, title, tags.
The 2016s will MSRP less than the 2015s. So dealers have to move them now.
There are many 2014 GX 1-year lease returns sitting on dealer lots. I was shopping for one of them. using the quotes on a new GX.
I ended up getting a great deal on a 2015 Premium with 12k miles. Could not be happier.

It sure sounds like there are more GX460 on the dealers lots. End of year coming, and they need to make room for the new RX and LX. Are we expected to see a new GX soon? Really digging the new leaked LX look and updated interior.

Do you have any further information on the 2016 MSRP and/or release date? We're in the market for a new GX but this is the first I've heard of the 2016 coming in with a lower MSRP (though I know that happened a few years ago as well). If so, might be worth holding out a few months longer and either snagging one of those or trying to find a great deal on a 2015 at that time...

One told me they were expecting the 2016 models to start rolling around late August or early September but he didn't really indicate if that was based on speculation or some more concrete info.

Looking to get into a 2015 GX on a lease, and wanted to ask your opinions on whether or not asking for 5k off or 1k below invoice is something reasonable? If not how low can I go? I know they have their golden opportunity event until labor day weekend. Also on a sidenote, does the base GX come with a third row, or do you have to opt for the premium? Thanks again guys!

Also, I could be wrong on this but I don't believe the GX is not included in the Golden Opportunity event. For whatever reason, the GX seems to be excluded from most if not all Lexus offers (special financing, lease discounts, etc.)

Lead Lap
1) Invoice is available on all car buyin website. Build it your way, see the invoice. That is the highest you should be expected to pay.
2) Using those carbuying websites, narrow down your search area. Keep the dealers you want in a list. Begin the email list. Its also a nice time to go out to any dealership for only a testdrive. Ask for an extended drive not the ms daisy circuit. Good to figure out any nuances the GX has.
3) Invoice is ok every time of the year but now. Towards the end of the summer season, Lexus pushes hard to move units. So as a consumer you push harder. I`d say stick on 10% off sticker as my initial quote. From there see if you can gather 15%. As ref point, friend got into a fully load GX Premium pack for nearly 15% off sticker in the spring. So at least aim for that.
4) One thing that helps is build date and V Spec analysis. Simply look up the production date (door stamp), the older the better and compare with V spec. There was a price increase, and dealers with the older model were pushing hard to move those units. If you happen to find one, your chances of dealing on those units are better then newer units. However again YMMV.
5) Post your buying experience and good luck!

Thanks for the reference point.
I was able to get great deal on my 14 IS350, over 6k off msrp. You figure, the more money the vehicle cost the more discount you could possibly get.
I'll aim for 15% or roughly 8k.

Also do you know where your friend bought his vehicle ?
Depends on what options, area of purchase, and how many are on the lot.

My wife and I flew to pick up our GX and then drove it back about 800 miles last year... but that was to save almost 20% off the sticker of a GX460 Luxury w/ the Driver Support Package (it was driven for a few months and had around 4k miles on it) and have so many airline miles we never pay for plane tickets, so it was worth it to us in that case.
