....delivered to dealer on August 20th.

But things don't usually happen exactly as planned.

Let's put it this way, I'm not putting a for sale sign in my Toyota Solara just yet.

Blue AWD F SPORT with ML etc..

MSRP was 56k
negotiated price down to 49600

I've been trying to make my build come out to $56 and I can't....even with premium paint.

Wonder what I missed? Maybe protective film or door guards.

Anyway, looks like they are starting to move these off lot....good job!

I don't have the sticker with me right now as I'm picking up the car in a few days. I'll definitely post it here for you after pick it up. As far as I remember it had sun roof, door guards, door sill light, adaptive cruise control, fog lights, etc... All I wanted was ML on AWD F sport, and I really hate to pay for something I don't even want. that was how the dealer spec the car when they ordered from the factory so I had not much choice as I wanted ML on F sport.

They also threw in window tint, so I basically got it for 49400.

With new eyes this a.m., I could easily get MSRP over $56k on your model.

The things you want, I don't which proves this car can be a lot of things to different people.

I specifically did not want AWD (deal breaker), and I would rather not pay for the ML. I never thought I would be one of those "old foggies" that roll my eyes when I hear a car coming (their music) before I see car. I'm not suggesting that you will blare your music. But this car is very small inside and the amazing speaker system included in the "base" model is more than adequate. I listen to audibile.com anyway and I don't care about resale. Having said that, the model I am lined up to get has the ML. Obviously, not a deal breaker.

I specifically don't want the Sport model, but I may have to reconsider that if the one coming from Texas doesn't make it to me. There is an Infrared Sport model coming to a dealer the end of the month.

I don't think I will find my answers on a message board relating to the difference in ride between the luxury and the sport. The folks that have the Sport model will never say their ride is "rougher" and the ones that have the luxury model may not want to say anything disparaging about anything Sport related (this message board is a little pro sport, not a bad thing, just an observation).

My car guys tell me all sport packages have a rougher ride because they are built that way. I don't know why Lexus would be any different. And I don't think test driving the two different models around the block are going to give me much feedback in this area.

If the car comes on August 20th like it is supposed to, I won't need t revisit the Luxury vs. Sport issue again anyway.

15 days and counting....

I have the F-Sport and depending on the ride selector position of Normal, Sport, or Sport+ will determine how it will ride. When I use Normal it is a very nice ride and not bone jarring, but put that baby in Sport+ and I can definitely feel everything on the road.

Dont have my sticker on hand but I got essentially a fully loaded RC F sport RWD.

This is basically my build, hopefully the link works.

*link not working*

It was $58k MSRP. The dealer added aftermarket rims and powder coated them which was $4500, and on top of that the finishing touch paint protection which was another $1500. It came out to be like a little above $61k MSRP.

I was there for about 10 hours and got them down to $48k and some change, got them to throw in Tint and the warranty protection plan.

I think I came out pretty well on that deal. Ended up getting another one from the same dealership.

That sounds like a really good deal to get all of that. I am assuming you purchased the car. What did you put down etc and so forth if you don't mind me inquiring. Also where did you get your car at? (since we are both in california)

Thanks!

I traded in my bmw sdrive 3.5... So I put down 25k.

I have a few sports cars already so I needed something that had more of a luxury / comfort stand point. Plus I drive a lot for work. (Live in rancho sante fe and commute to Laguna beach / la) Both rc's were had at Carlsbad lexus. If you are interested I can get you in contact with the gm there. They have taken care of me and if I need anything I just send a text directly to the gm. I highly recommend going to them.

In all honesty I do miss my z4 but for a commuter car is was too harsh.

Any decent holiday deals out there?

I put $6K down-Traded in 2014 IS350--They gave me $33,000 for my trade in and I owed $28,400. Payment $515.
