trying to tell myself that something like that was going to happen eventually with a car this low and at least i wasn't the one who did it. still filled with hulk-like rage though lol...sigh
How bad is it? Got a picture? It's a lease I'd still be upset too but it's just metal and plastic always remember that! You'll get a new car in 2 years! That's how I look at mine, enjoy it and get another new one!

On a 2015 too! thats awesome.

I was shopping around the bay area today as well. Lexus of Concord wouldn't budge. They wanted 45K plus TTL, way too much. I wanted to be at 45K OTD.

CL, Do you guys think that is possible? 45k OTD? They showed me the invoice price for the IS350 and it was 39k minus the options. With Fsport, ML, NAv, Blind Spot it was 45K dealer invoice.

Am I missing something here? 2014 model.

Tell Lexus of Concord to take a hike - something I've learned in this forum is to focus on a discount from msrp and forget about invoice - the dealers can play games with the invoice that they show you. They can't play games on the msrp - in CA, you should be able to achieve a price discounted 12-15%. That would be around 41-42k plus TTL on an f-sport nav/ml. You probably won't get to 45 out the door on a 2015 but might get close on a 2014. You'll need to work at it and get multiple dealers involved.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Wow thats a really good price for a 2015 model. How did you do it? I've seen people still paying that much for the 2014 model

It's not a bad deal at all. At the end of the day, all that matters is you like and enjoy the car.

My dealer basically called me a liar right to my face when we were talking about lease #'s today. Kinda curious what kinda leases for a 2014 2/3 F Sport everyone's getting.

CA gets good deals because they have a lot of competing dealers, so its hard to compare cali deals to elsewhere

Not to worry - you got a great vehicle for a great price. More than a 10% discount on a 2015 is doing very well - the dealer does not have as much margin to work with on a base vehicle.

Congrats and enjoy your new car!

Anytime you get 10-12% off, its a good deal. But the car is the main focus. People often lose sight of that. These are the best quality cars in the world. Not some piece of crap. I don't hear anyone walking into Sears and telling the cashier, give me those pants for 15% off or I walk. They have more of a mark up than a car dealer has.
I understand wanting a good deal but I hate when some customers say they don't want the dealership to make one penny off of them.
