I went through Costco and got below dealer invoice (46k) plus $750 incentive and lexus made my first payment. I pay $757/month.
Just happy to be out of my lemon of a ctsv

I was just hoping you could share the details like selling price, residual, and money factor. The numbers you stated in your original post come out to just shy of 71 cents per mile. Using that per mile figure equates to $591 a month for folks here getting 10k mile leases. Most of the folks reporting their 350 f-sport leases here are in the mid 400s or a little more with not much due at signing. Also, as far as I know, the college grad rebate is $1k.

Anyway, congrats and enjoy your new IS.

Here in SoCal we have numerous Lexus dealers which creates lots of competition and helps greatly in the negotiation process. That 583 dealer does not sound like they want to seriously compete for your business.

Not sure If you put any money up front, but based on your payment and mileage, you're at 60.5 cents per mile which is not much out of line with what folks with no negative equity have been paying for their leases lately.

If you stick with this vehicle and take good care of it you might even have some trade equity at the end of the lease.

BTW: im in southern california.

Quotes around here are just 10% under MSRP.

7,500 Miles per year
$360/month
Shipped to NorCal (I live up here now) - $XXX - Closed Container - I can't disclose this because it was a hook up but assume this is about $700 for a closed container, around $400 for an open one.

No one will believe me but you can say living in LA for 25 years gets you the right hook ups.

If you purchase/lease a car by going to a dealer first and you live in LA, you are horribly getting ripped off. Take advantage that we have brokers. You just go to them and negotiate a deal, they take you to the dealer and you fill out paper work together. Keep in mind you might get played around a bit by the dealer but it's ok just negotiate it! Northern California doesn't have brokers so I would say it's 100% worth it to fly down to LA and handle that here. You'll laugh when you here what deals NorCal gave me. Unreal prices (too high)

$48,659 sticker price
427 a month including tax

Still haven't had a chance to go to the dealer but these are numbers over the phone with 2 dealers
What do you guys think?

If these are numbers they gave over the phone, I think you might be able to squeeze some more out of them. If you are in SoCal or NorCal, you could get other dealers involved to heat up the competition.
