Sure they'll help you get into another Lexus - be sure to bring your checkbook though.

no problem , that's why we're are here. Like you I learned a lot. Either it;s Lexus or anyone you are out of those money. The insurance company will only pay the leasing company. You'll need to come with more money to get a new car as you'll be out of the downpayment and car.

I'm envious of you Cali guys for sure.

This is was the best deal I could get in Jersey.

Lexus IS350 FSport Black/Red
MSRP $49,521
w/ Navi, Blind spot, wheel locks, door edge guards, paint protective film
Selling price= 45,302

$2000 out of pocket + 2002 Chevy impala 147K miles in fair condition + 1000 student rebate (taxes, fees, registration, etc. all included)
Residual= 71% (32,188)
12K/33 months
$499 per month

What you guys think? Does that monthly payment correlate with such a high residual and the selling price btw? Also, anyone in NJ/NY do any better?

^ I'm a new jersey guy as well. I just put a deposit down on one MSRP 48,880. I got them down to 46,800. W/ Navi, Blind Spot, wheel locks, accesory package.

I thought it had Mark Levinson sound but just found out it doesn't. The dealership is telling me you can't get Mark Levinson without the front collision package...........is this true? maybe just on the east coast? I'm about to cancel this thing because i want the mark levinson sound

Not true, I have NO but no front Collison package, you should check with other dealerships.

I don't think we get too many RWD and ML packages in the Northeast. At least for the GS.

Special order in ohio, haven't seen 1! to me not worth the extra $, won't be doing any long driving, ect. especially since I'm leasing, got the ultra white rioja interior I wanted though

Also heard the stock stereo does not sound bad at all.

Well if anyone finds any Nebula Gray/Red interior IS350 AWD F Sport with ML Sound let me know............I will go anywhere in the country to pick it up or get it shipped. At this point I'm about to give up and just buy it without the ML which I really don't want to do. They told me to special order it will take 90-120 days.

Hmmmmm. Idk my last car stereo pissed me off so much so i replaced everything with a 3k audio system, ended up causing electrical nightmares. I think it might be worth just getting what i want since im buying

That's not a very good deal, especially without ML. I hope you're at least talking about a 350 f-sport.

350 F Sport AWD the MSRP is 48,885 I got it down to 46,800. I can't find a dealer that will match it. I also can't find a nebula gray with red anywhere. New Jersey/East Coast standard price.

Thats the going rate in NJ. Anything with red is sold before they even arrive at the dealer lol

If ur willing to take the trip to southern cali you can get ML with probably about 5K off the price of the car. But then at point the trip might cost more than whatever u saved.
