Default Will there ever be solid lease deals on 2017 models...?

My lease on my IS ends later this year, and I have been eyeing the GS F Sport since the refresh in 2016.

Unfortunately, from everything I have read and researched, it doesn't appears the lease deals will ever be as good as they were during the 2014/2015 years where you could get in for under $500/month on a F Sport.

Were residuals just crazy high back then?

Hoping come December I can get a 2017 F sport for under $600 a month.

A couple months ago when I was turning in my '14 GS I asked the same question to the sale rep. He said those crazy deals on the GS lost them a lot of money.

Note that from 2017 model year, Lexus has made the Navigation with 12.3" screen ($1730 value) and Safety+ ($700 value) standard on all GS models. That is a saving of $2430 right there over 2013-2016 model years.

But they kept the MSRP the same for the 2017 MY!
No savings the buyers

I guess the NAV was standard on the 2016. So its just the lexus+ package

The MSRP did increase a little from 2016 to 2017 but that is expected in all model years in all brands.

Nav was not standard in 2016. I know for sure because I bought a 2016 in Nov 2016. In 2017 models, the Nav is mentioned as "complimentary" with zero additional cost.

The Safety+ is now standard at no additional cost. So the $2430 is a direct saving for the customer (modulo the model year price increase).

Pretty sure the deals will hit in December for the annual December to remember event.
no one will lease a GS for over $600 or even close to it... not when you can get a 5-series or A6 EASILY on $600's

I don't mean to come across as rude, but this really has no effect on lease deals. More so the Money Factor and Residuals being offered by Lexus Financial Services.

You are not being rude. I am not fully aware of how the lease deals work with Toyota/Lexus. But I am sure if someone purchases the car, by cash or through financing, it will be a saving to the buyer because he will get the Nav and Safety+ packages for free which wasn't the case in 2016.

MF is low this month at .00030 and I believe there is $3,500 lease cash available.

Let me know if anybody gets quotes from any dealers.

$700 something with 0 down. I just got a quote today for 2017 GS 350 FSport. The worst part is there seems to be a very limited quantity of the car now.

This is true. Inventory seems to be low. Looks like lexus cut their production of the GS due to a downward sales trend.

Dealers as a result are not discounting them as much

First two services and free car washes are offered on all Lexus vehicles. However, I would advise against the "car wash", if I were you.
