Is this Lexus dealer owned by one of the big outfits?

Maybe over the years with bad reputation that ONLY FEW will buy cars from them? So they MUST REDUCE the price in order to entice people to come in. BUT THEY WILL USE TRICKY TACTICS AT CLOSING TO TACK ON EXTRA FEES AND RAISE THE ALREADY AGREED INTEREST RATE???,. OR A few days after a customer drives the new car home and they will call and claim that the credit did not go through and will require more down payment and much higher interest rate. If the customer can not come up with the demand they take the car back (UNWIND)? But unwind a car is costly and a headache for both parties.

Yes, it is owned by one of the big ones. And yes, all of the above. Bad tactics during and after the sale. I've given them a half dozen chances over the decades to improve, and it's still bad every time. This is the type of dealership the uneducated, the aged, and the unassuming go to to get hosed and taken advantage of.

2015 RC F-Sport White ext/ black interior- RWD sticker was 55k roughly

1500 down
298 a month
dings/dent 800.00 was waived (see below why)
CC score 805
2yr lease.

this was almost 2 years ago.

I GOT LUCKY... I think. Car was transferred from different dealer and buyer backed out at last minute. I guess they charged the guy a fee for the transfer and they waived my dings/dent fee because of it, i never really got the full story. I think it was a solid deal given I only spent 40 minutes at the dealer from going in to waiting for car to be fully tanked and washed.

Debating if I wanna lease a new one again, or buy RCF since I felt it lacking.

Not calculating your numbers. For a brand new, in demand $55k car? That is what Camry and Accords lease for.

Wow jrm3kgt, that is a steal. Congrats. If the 2018s ends up having the same interior and exterior, this will look like an even better deal.

I actually bought my 2015 RC350 From Keyes in Van Nuys and had it shipped on Indiana. Had no problems with them in getting the car and got a great deal on the car.

Im so glad i came across this thread. Was looking at '17 is350 f sports but if '16 rc350 f sports can be had for $40k it's a no brainer. Going to be needing a new car in the next 1-3 weeks and hopefully i'll be an rc owner by the end of the month!

Default 2015 rc 350

Bought my wife a 2015 Infrared RC 350 F Sport with black interior in excellent shape with 5860 miles loaded with Navi/Mark Levinson for $41,250. I thought it was a fair price since any other comparable Infrared one that I could find was in the $39,500 to $41,000 range and they all had between 16,000 to 26,000 miles on them.

I'm content and my wife is happy!
