It's crazy the kind of deals people settle for. Im a salesman at suabru Mazda and I used my skills to get my rc. I actually used those quotes from the instagram pages to use as price matching quotes, and after a little bit of shopping around, I got my MSRP 53k rc350 f sport with 2500 down and 10k miles for 439 including tax!. Sales price was a little north of 46k. It was about 3k below invoice

Auto Broker Lease Deal
Hello all,
Just joined Club Lexus and hopefully I will be a proud lessee of an Atomic Silver 2015 Lexus RC 350 F-Sport soon!
I live in Fresno, California and currently the lease deal going on at Fresno Lexus is the following:
2015 RC 350 (No indication of Base or F-Sport)$449 a month for 36 months
$3,999 due at signing
Excludes official fees, taxes and dealer charges. No security deposit required. 10,000 mile/year limit.
Now here's my story:
I found an Auto Broker based out of L.A. that supposedly gets killer lease deals on the F Sport or any other new models through Keye's Lexus specifically. I've been communicating with him for a few days and I am very close to going in on the deal....
Here are the terms of the lease deal he said he could get me in:
2015 RC 350 F Sport Trim
$399 a month *Tax Included* for 24 months @ 10,000 miles per year
$2,500 down *Total out of pocket*
MSRP: $53,058
Link to the RC: http://www.keyeslexus.com/details/20.../3772511?cid=4
When I told Fresno Lexus what kind of deal I came upon, this is what they countered with to match the above deal:
2015 RC 350 F Sport Trim
$379 a month *Tax Included for 24 months @ 7,500 miles per year
$3,000 down
MSRP: $52,xxx
No advertised link for this deal, just a match since I presented above deal from broker.
The lease deal the Auto Broker is offering is very,very attractive let me tell you that much and I am very close to going for it, however I wanted to get some feedback from the crew here and forum, is this too good to be true? Should I move forward? What would you do? He states that: "By total out of pocket, I mean EVERYTHING is included (your first month's payment, registration, tax, licensing fees, drive-off, etc)." I have yet to know from the auto broker the residual and MF. Is there anything else I should confirm with the auto broker?
I did my own digging/investigation and decided to call Keye's Lexus and in fact the Fleet Manager there confirmed and said "Yes, we work with auto broker's all the time" and I confirmed the name of the one I am dealing with currently and the manager mentioned, "Yes, we work with him, he is a good kid."
So it looks like everything checks out
. The way the auto broker told me he will handle the transaction is by me providing a credit questionnaire (running my credit, which Fresno Lexus ran on 05/30/2015 and came back at a score of "765"), himself delivering the car to me personally, (He will reimburse mileage driven from L.A. to Fresno) going over the terms/hard copy contract in person, and then I will issue him the $2,500.
So what would yall' do? I need some advice on whether or not to move forward with the auto broker or not. I would move forward with Fresno Lexus, but I don't want to risk going over the 7,500 miles per year and paying 0.25 cents at the end of whatever I go over. (That's driving a mere 20 miles a day!
) For just $20 more, the broker is giving me an extra 2,500 miles.
Here's the mathematic breakdown:
Auto Broker: $20 extra x 24 months (10k miles a year)=$480.
Fresno Lexus: 0.25 penalty charge x 2,500 miles (7,500 miles - 10k)= $1,250.
Savings with extra mileage of 2,500 per year with broker vs. Dealer: $1,250-$480=$770 x 24 months = Grand total of $1,540.
I would rather have the extra Broker's 2,500 miles per year for $20 more a month at a 10K miles a year for $480 extra over the 24 month term with a piece of mind rather than being pressured with 7,500K miles a year with the dealerships terms and hope I won't go over that!
I need your opinions! Thank you!

I got mine last weekend here in SOCAL San Diego for $4k D.P., with a monthly of $475 out the door (first payment is free), 7,500 miles annually for 36 mos., res. value 34.8K, Molten Pearl RWD RC 350 F Sport package. They have promo going on till the end of August but you have to read the 'FINE PRINT." The AWD is 6 speed while the RWD is 8 speed. I'd like to emphasize that this is a 2015 RC 350 F Sport package.
