Assuming that this is a coupe, don't forget the $3,000 in Lexus cash. And you may qualify for 0.9 percent financing. See this link: https://www.lexus.com/offers
I will share the final deal when it's lock and loaded. Yes it's a coupe, but as far as finance goes, most dealers I talked to would not give 0.9% if they were to give more than the the 3K cash. Some even said you get 3K or 0.9%. Whatever. I got way more than 3K off. As far as finance go, I am doing 45K. I was a honest man, told him which CU I got preapproved, in turn he did the homework and found out I was qualified for 2.2%, so he beat it and we settled at 1.89%. Not 0.9% good but it's better than what I had seen, that's final payment of $906/mon. Either case, unless it's 0%, no loan is good loan. I can pay off, but will likely use the amount financed and put it toward the house--this saves me $17K on the house interest, and cut my house payment by 2years. So paying the 1.89% $2K interest is no brainer.

It's actually coming from Reliable Lexus in MO. They just sent the doc out to the courier and assuming courier receives it tomorrow, I should be able to sign Thursday and wire the funds. So likely sometime Sat it would clear and they should be getting the transport next week, hopefully. With that, the ETA would be around week of Feb8th.
The 3 thousand dollars cash back is from the factory.It doesn't cost the dealorship a penny and should be completely separate from negotiation with dealor.
Good luck with the car , the gray does look very sharp. As I've stated before there is no bad color on this beautiful car!! ENJOY!
TNT, what year / options did you get? From that pic you posted it looks like a convertible but earlier you said you wanted a coupe.
i LOVE that smokey granite mica color you're getting. I ended up with caviar which i love very much too!
excited for ya. And i've been in your shoes with the back and forth and the wait. Got mine Christmas eve.
Hi Bitkahuna:
It's a coupe, the picture didn't show the back. She is brand new 11mi fully loaded coupe with Dynamic package, ML Audio, Weather package, HUD...and other smaller items.
If you recall my OP, new one is certainly above what I wanted to spend given lovely CA tax/lic fee would be another $11K. I took the plunge given I buy to keep and the pandemic makes it difficult to test drive any used ones. My target price was 95K for fully loaded MY21 and the dealer was willing to meet it--we closed at $95415. I did debate whether I can get one near me for same without shipping. But then none near me had the Gray/Red combo. Most places were black, silver, white. Gray is slightly more stealthy and just pulling on me--subjective comment here.
She was still on Autotrader Sat. It was nice to see the vehicle taken off on Reliable Lexus website Sunday, but because I had it in my cookie, it was able to find it and it was marked "SOLD".

Basically same as mine (except colors). Good choice!
Another update.......she is on her way to home! The end of the beginning.
Will get her next Wednesday or Thursday. He has what appears to be a classic car (I can't tell the kind since I only see the chrome bumper and black body) at the bottom deck. I am on the top deck.
This is the 2nd shipper, the first one Dealer found on Tuesday could of gotten her by the weekend, by the time the dealer confirm back, the shipper got another job. Oh well.
Got my paperwork today too--certificate of origin, Odometer cert (all 11mi), and DMV registration paper. Already checking out PPF and ceramic coat and Tints.
Congratulations. It’s going to be a long week. Love the color with the red interior.
I’m currently in the market for a used model, but seeing how well you did off the sticker, I may reconsider. You basically got the first year of depreciation off.
Please post more pics when it arrives and would love to hear your driving impressions.
Yeah...that's why I pulled the triggered. Very roughly every MY is 10K more with the 18's starting at 65K. Again, roughly depending on conditions/packages. But what I have seen was about right without the PP. With the PP could be couple K's more, before negotiation.
For new ones, there is a 3K rebate, so it's easier for Dealer to accept my offer. Reliable Lexus at Springfield MO was great, unfortunately they only have a Silver Convertible. I did notice my Gary one was on the market for awhile, so I just shot a mail out, what do you know, the Sales Mgr Anthony responded back and we closed the deal.
