Default Lease ending and Buyout option

Can you please share your lease end date and buyout option? Are you planning to keep the car?

It will help people who are on here and looking to move to the GSF, by giving an idea what color combinations will be available on the market at a given time. Possibly also make a deal with future sellers.

I honestly dont think many people leased these vehicles, mostly because there was horrible residuals and monthly pricing.

It would have made no sense at all to lease when we got over $20k off sticker on a purchase.

That’s crazy how much they gave off on sticker, almost as if they inflated the price to look good on paper and knew what the market would go for

Lexus has difficulty understanding the performance market. They've not done well with the F cars holding value even at initial sale price. Much like the Supra in 93 - 98 where they sat on the floor for months on end. They looked nice in the showroom, but unfortunately they just didn't move.

Lease ends in September, returning it today. Waived my last 3 payments. Because we got an RX450 for the parents.

lobuxracer, a lease is calculated on an agreed on sale price. Congratulation on favorable pricing
but you could have also chosen to lease, one pay lease, cash or finance the newly lowered price.
Residual value, the calculated amount the car is "worth" 3 or 4 years from now is figured on the
MSRP. Possible benefit to some of us is when the (artificially) high resale value is subtracted
from the low purchase price the lease payments are way low. Buy it at the end if desired but
most of us give it back and go for the newest, fastest model we can.

Mods to the car are problematic on a leased car. Cost time and $'s to remove or leave them on and get
charged for "damage" or missing original equipment. Leasing is admittedly not for every situation.

Here we go with the never ending lease vs buy debate!

I leased my GSF and I’m not sure if I want to buy it but agreed sale price of my GSF was an exact figure of 70,000. Leased for 3 years and buyout is at 38k and some change can’t remember exact figure. Lease ends October 2020.
