Anyone have any news on what might be the changes in the '18 and if it's worth waiting for?
If not, I'm working with a dealership and got them to about 12-13% off MSRP for 2017.
Please let me know what you think.

MisterEun

Thank you for the plethora of answers everyone.
...

Jokes aside, just put down the down payment over the phone, and flying out to pick up my new RC-F next Saturday to drive it down to Atlanta.
Let's hope Lexus didn't decide to suddenly upgrade the **** out of the 2018 model.

Bro wtf 12 to 13 percent on a 2017!

ssmoked

That's the norm

How come I called 2 lexus dealers near me and they told me that the most they can discount on a 2017 is 3500 - 4000 ....

12-13% off a 17 is absolutely not the norm and very unlikely.

Maybe they just have it marked up so much and playing the numbers game...

ssmoked

were they taking you seriously like a teenager or a serious buyer? A dealer will not give their bottom line over the phone unless you are serious willing to put a deposit right then

here is a nationwide search of 2017. This dealer is discounting 6% right off the bat online, don't tell me I can't get another 6% by calling the Internet sales manager and putting a deposit down.

It's not the easiest or quickest thing to do, but do your due diligence and research and you could probably do as much as 15%.

MSRP $74,498
So typical markup as most other dealerships imo.

If the RC gets updated on the 3-4 year cycle like the other models in the Lexus lineup, expect to see maybe small revisions like headlights, taillights, bumpers, and interior trim (definitely bigger 10" screen like in the 2017 IS) for the 2018 or 2019MY.

MisterEun

That was my assumption based on what I've read here over the years.
Minor details that might make it a bit nicer but doesn't really affect the bottom line too much.
Thanks for your affirmation.

Lexus of Nashville is advertising $69k for a $75k MSRP....plus an "additional 2,000 off their lowest advertised price"

So at $67k you're sitting around 10.5% off MSRP. Not too bad for early 2017.

A lot of people were thinking they might not discount 2017s as much as previous years due to the supposed lower production numbers. But I would also think there may be less buyers in the market possibly cause all the people who really wanted the car have already bought in the last year or two...just a thought...?

MisterEun

More than anything I think it's the utter lack of marketing on the RC-F.
I bought mine literally less than a month after I first realized it existed.
