You will get a huge discount on this build outside of your region.. As a 2015 leftover...
Doesn't hurt to shop around and look into shipping costs as well..
Happy Holidays

We saved thousands by importing from a CA dealer.. and get this: No sales tax.
CA law states that sales tax must be paid on all vehicles if the tires hit the pavement in CA. If the car is picked up by a transporter off the lot and taken out of state, no sales tax is charged. However, for lien purposes if financed, the car must be titled in CA. Simple title transfer in your own state.
Voila. YMMV.

I did a search on cars.com for RC-F within "all miles". I started looking through the results in the $75k range, and it showed up with actual photos of it. Some of them show a stock photo of a molten pearl car, but actually are another color in the details. Lexus of Naperville website shows it has Mark Levinson. I was just browsing around seeing what was out there.

That would be a nice car if you could find one. I would have picked the same except for the color. I found a car just like that while I was looking a month ago in Dallas, but it was black. I ended up with a silver car with the 10 spoke wheels minus the Mark Levinson. I had Mark Levinson on a 2014 ES and a 2011 GX and was never blown away by them. You do get a more fuller sound with better highs from what I can tell. I haven't heard the Mark Levinson in the RC F, but I do think the base sound system isn't bad. I can certainly live without ML for the deal I got on a 2015 with the triple beam headlights and the color I wanted. Hope you find what you are looking for!

I am visiting 2 dealerships tomorrow, and hope to make a deal, but if the deals are not good enough, I'll just order a 2016.

YES...For a 2015 leftover, you should be easily able to get at least $9k off if not $10K off

I wasn't sure after buying whether or not I should have got the 20 spoke, but now I would chose the 10 spoke again. Love the way they shine! They do take a while to hand clean to get brake dust off. I would assume the 20 spoke do as well though.

FWW, I have always liked the asymmetric aspect of each spoke on the the 10 spoke wheels. What is also interesting is how each wheel spoke sort of disappears near the center of the wheel in your picture. On your RC F they look fantastic with liquid platinum paint!

Thanks! I didn't notice how asymmetric they were until I first cleaned them. Each of the spokes takes a real dive towards the center of the wheel...I guess that is what give it the disappearing look. I hear lots of people talk about liking the base wheel and the hand polished 20 spokes, but nobody mentions the 10 spoke much.
