Thumbs up Made the leap to 2017

With the lease on my 2015 IS350 F-Sport approaching the end, I started thinking about options. Purchase the car as I love it or start a new lease? I have to give South County Lexus in Mission Viejo, CA some serious props because they gave me a great deal on a 2017 IS350 F-Sport in Caviar with the black interior. The entire process was seamless and I was in/out of the dealership in 1 hour and 9 minutes!

How many months did you have left in your lease? I am in a similar boat with my 15 lease ending exactly 1 year from today. Looking into moving up to an IS-F. I have found some nice deals, unfortunately, my car had damage which was repaired through insurance. Thus, having an "accident" I don't think I will be above value on the car, making it harder to end the lease early.

I had three months left and Lexus' waive of the remaining three payments sealed the deal. Never considered Nebula Gray as settling because that's the color my 2015 was.

I've heard a lot of good feedback from Mission Viejo.

Did you take into account the amount of registration you paid for those three months and if you put any down payment when you first signed the lease?

Registration cost remaining for three months was minimal and I was satisfied with what I put down. When in happy, came out happy-how getting a new Lexus should be.
