Default Please help get me in the ballpark for a new GS350

$52,805 MSRP
$3100 in rebates (not sure what these entail yet)

Where do i need to be around % off MSRP prior to or after rebates ? I know what i'm doing after this point, but it always helps to know where to be off MSRP or Invoice for different model cars before crunching the rest of the numbers.

Thanks for your help.

I picked up a 2016 GS 350 white over flaxen late last month with the MSRP of $53,360. After discount and customer rebate for $42,968 plus tax and license. Nearly 20% off sticker. I'm in SoCal. Hope this info helps.

Appreciate the feedback.

I'm in Florida. Can't wait to see the response i get when i offer 20% off of MSRP including rebates. Anyone else have numbers ?

Oh, and the White/Flax he has for me is right around 1K miles on it so that should help as well.

You should be able to kill the MSRP on a demo with 1k on it. Was probably a loaner car, could have been whipped like a donkey because it is right at break in.

If you were making an offer on a new GS350 white/black with 1K miles (MSRP $52805), where you would shoot going in ? From there I will work on MF, RV, etc. Really appreciate the help guys.

Possible to get around $475/mo., no money down outside tax, tag. multiple security deposits.

20% off sticker is not typical for new sales. That was just a great deal that you probably won't find find again. I got about $6,000 off on mine but the sticker was $59,500.

Agreed, but with 1K miles on the car i'm wondering if I might be able to get it or at least close.

Did you special order yours? I'm buying new in about 18 months and willing to travel anywhere in the country to get the best deal. 6k off sounds more realistic in the real world. Sorry but 20% off MSRP sounds unrealistic to me! I won't be super picky when it comes to options as long as it's an F-Sport. I like the fact that you seldom see GS's in my neck of the woods which makes them unique.

I checked all over the U.S. and found Lexus Orlando in winter park has the best no haggle pricing. Check out the website and them on autotrader. Plus, they don't charge dealer fees. Good luck finding a GS!

If you're not opposed to it, going the used route is a good way too. I purchased a 2014 for 28,000 with 45K miles on it. Still under bumper-bumper warranty and power-train until 72K miles. You can purchased one with less miles for 32 to 34K as well.

It may not be an F-Sport but it'll be most of what you get for an F-Sport. Also, buy vehicles that are coming off leases. Maintenance packages are given with the initial sale and your first 5 services will definitely be done.

These cars are pretty solid and it isn't impossible that you will make it last to 200K miles if you keep up with maintenance.

No it was not a special order. They had 3 Lux packages on the lot when I purchased. I just purchased off the lot the same day that I saw it. I had done a lot of research and test drove 2 other GS's several months before.
