Sorry it comes across that way, as it's not my intention. I definitely can't return it, but if it wasn't for this forum and this specific thread, I would have been clueless. This thread and site have been HUGE, as this is my first Lexus. So thanks everyone for posting their deals, as it helped me gauge on what was possible or not.
Definitely not bragging because why would I ask if it was a good deal if that was my intention? Makes zero sense. Just wanted feedback. Sounds like I made out ok from the few responses. Maybe I could I have pushed harder, but it didn't seem the manager would budge.
Also, he claimed that getting a ML option on these cars was next to impossible so I bypassed that. For sure he was full of it.
Thanks again everyone. I love this car. This site rocks.

I know you're getting lots of advice Wednesday but one option you might consider is to extend your current lease - check with LFS on the details - I extended a Honda lease and went on a month to month basis which allowed me a lot of flexibility when I was able to make my next deal. The payment stays the same and they adjust the residual accordingly. This option might give you the time to land a better deal than what they are offering now.

I am already into the 1st month of extending the lease but my husband doesn't want to continue the extension. I may just be without a car for a few months, which is fine because I work from home but I hope it doesn't come to that. There should be something to be said for buying multiple cars from a dealership and if they don't make this work now and I have to go without a car, I won't buy from them later and will never set foot in their dealership again. I have already told her we will go without a car before I will pay too high a price, yes I want it but I don't have to have it just yet.

I believe there should be some repeat customer loyalty/bonus, but have to see from the dealers point of view also. It's a brand new 2015 and the supply is very limited RIGHT NOW. However, i agree that the price you mentioned seemed very high. Low to mid 400s seem fair right now for a 2015 on a lease

Good luck! I just checked Longo's (probably Southern California's largest Lexus dealer) and they have a BUNCH of 2015s available

2014 AWD 350 F, all (useful) options included except ML. MSRP 49,063, dealer would not budge on price, but got it down to 47,500 (excluding taxes, fees, etc).
This is a bad year for me for negotiating. The half dozen dealers I went to in the tri state area for a new Cayenne wouldn't budge on price either. Max was going to knock off $250...

Has anyone in New York State found a good lease deal on a 250 or 350 F-Sport? I sent the following offer and they immediately turned it down with the following comment.
"I appreciate what you sent back to me, but after checking the profit margin we would have on the IS 350 lease you sent me, we are simply not interested in losing over $3,000 on a deal."
IS350 F-Sport
MSRP: $48,212
Residual: $33.748
27 months
12k miles a year
$0 down
$423 + tax monthly payment
