Default New RC-F Owner (Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 w/Circuit Red Interior)

Well after being told NO repeatedly by my wife, she finally caved when I told her I could get one for $5000 below MSRP ($1,000 below invoice). I ended up paying $69,069.09 out the door which was the selling point so thanks for those who provided feedback on here.

Scary part is that I was about a week away from pulling the trigger on a new 2016 Mustang GT Roush Stage 3......(fully loaded, aftermarket bumpers, wheels, hood, supercharger, etc......670hp, blah blah). For the money, those Mustang GT's are a good bang for the buck but I'm so glad I ended up with another Lexus. You simply can't compare the quality/reliability to any other vehicle out there.......Lexus really has no competition in this category.

Looking forward to enjoying this "early" mid-life crisis RC-F (I'm only 39). Now I just need to sell my 2009 IS350 and then I'll be able to put a small dent in the monthly payment.

Couple pics, enjoy!

When you can goto to a dealersip with 10+, 20+ or 30+ RC F's in their inventory...

This would be a way to get the BEST deals in the Country

$1,000 Below invoice (or more) is no problem in those locations..!!

Ya, both dealerships near me (which are 120 miles apart had) had 8 RCF's between the two of them. I probably could have gotten more off but didn't have a lot of time to go back and forth on the price so I took the offer and was happy with it.

It's a stock RCF, nothing fancy worthy of new pics that can't be seen on GOOGLE, lol.

Thanks Joe Z, so now the question is what parts are you offering for the RCF? I think I saw an intake tube and an exhaust coming out from you, anything else?

No, I bought it at Lexus of Richmond, VA. My wife lives in San Diego so I'm there all the time and will be moving back there next year.

$69,000 (I didn't pay tax and am hoping I won't have too. I'm waiting to see if FL is gonna hook me up and exempt me like they did in the past....I'm military).

That's the same rumor I heard too

Ya, being patient paid off. I think I could have actually gotten it for a little cheaper too. They didn't even bat an eye when I made my offer. I bet I could have knocked it down another $1000 if I would have tried. San Diego Lexus offered to knock off an additional $1200 from the $69,000 price I offered them since I would have had to ship the vehicle cross-country since I live in VA.
