^Yes i'm wondering the same thing. If the stock stereo sucks compared to the Mark Levinson, I'm going to wait for the 2015 model

So this is what I got in NJ

IS350 FSport Black/Red
w/ Navi, Blind spot, Door edge guards, paint protection film, accessory package
MSRP= $49,521
Selling Price= $45,302
Residual= 71% ($32,188)
33 months/12K yr

$2,000 down + Trade-in (2002 Chevy Impala ~900) (includes all fees, taxes, registration, etc)
Includes my 1,000 student rebate

$499 per month

The numbers sound great, but do those monthly payments correlate? Can a lease expert help.

This really depends on your standards. The best thing to do would be to find a dealership with both an IS with ML and without ML (doesn't matter what trim), and ask to listen to the stereos back-to-back, then decide for yourself.

I did this when car shopping, and was able to tell a noticeable difference in sound quality in the 2 systems. However, I didn't feel that it was significant enough to be a deal breaker (I would have been okay with it if the car I wanted wasn't available with ML).

If that's not an option, do a search and you'll find several threads comparing ML vs. stock systems (such as: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-worth-it.html).

My salesguy told me that the 2015s will no longer have ML audio for some reason and I haven't been able to verify the validity of this statement either

I had a '13 GS with ML before my IS w/o ML and there's a big difference. However, I got used to the IS's stock system and it's not bad. Compare two IS's, one with one without, and see if it's worth it to you.

I paid $47,000.00 out the door. I put $5,000.00 down with 1.9% financing for 60 months.

So, I'm at a lexus dealership and got a quote of $484/mo for a 36 month lease. 10k mileage allowance. Sale price 45298 (down from 48798). Still waiting to talk to the finance person to see MF and residual.

It's a good deal. That's where you should base your calcs.

I only have a tier1 credit so they gave me a .001 MF. No downpayment except for drive off fees, college graduate incentive included. My payment was $455+tax for 36 months on 10k miles/year.
