Im still looking at a nice 08 with 7k miles loaded withut mark levinson for $58k.
But i prefer the new one id they matched their deal they tld me a week ago at the car show.
I didnt realize there were actual physical coupons they had and that they would run out!


Sorry for caps, too late to turn back and retype this
What coupons are you talking about? As far as I know, the December to Remeber Event has a $1000 loyalty off for prior LS buyers. Please PM me or I may miss your answer.

Thanks,

Can you give details on this "$2,000 coupon" and how to obtain it/redeem it for a new Lexus?

The coupons are not for private customers. They are given to dealerships based on sales figures. They are called "closing coupons", and they are worth $1000 apiece.

A dealership can use 1 coupon on an RX, 2 on an LS. They allow a dealership to either knock some more money off a car, or they can be used to make a deal more profitable. It's up to the dealership.

But as I said, they only get a certain amount, and when they are gone, they are gone.
