Ok, did it. Ordered the LC convertible in Atomic Silver and Red Interior.

Expected delivery is mid October, maybe sooner.
Also got the 7yr road hazard protection for $999 cad. Tire and rim repaired to a lifetime of $7900.

 

congrats. so will that be a '21 or '22?

 

it will be a '22

 

did the dealer indicate any different features to pick from for the '22?

 

They had no clue, aside from when I will he getting it. Sorry I can't be much help there. They will also cover any price increases if it happens

 

Congrats @r1lee - Looks like you're in ON. Mind sharing the dealership and how the overall "negotiation" went? I'm in Southern Ontario and have experience with pretty much every dealership in the area. We've bought from 4 dealerships in the area (3 in the past few years), and I serviced at another half dozen when I was in my 20s and was getting crappy service at a number of them and decided to move around. You can DM me if you don't mind talking further.

Also, please update us as you get more information on the 2022 and a firmer delivery date!

 

I saw this exact car yesterday driving on the Pacific Coast Highway. Very sweet!

 

Did you have to pay MSRP or did you get a discount of any kind?

 

I got a little under 4k off.

 

I’d definitely be interested in the name of the dealership too!

 

I got $5k off my convertible in December.

Lexus of Orland in IL.

Had it shipped to me.

Didn't even have to deal with a salesman--they had the Business Manager handle my deal due to the price of the vehicle.

Super easy.

 

Sounds like a great deal! Like the original poster, I’m in Ontario, Canada so want to know his dealership!

 

All before having to pay Canada's new luxury car tax?

 

wow, just read up on that...

the lesser of either 10 per cent of its full value or 20 per cent of the value above $100,000. It seems the tax will apply whether you purchase, finance or lease a vehicle.

not getting into politics here but the article says that this luxury tax doesn't go anywhere near enough to reduce the wealth gap.

Anyway, convertible starts at C$122,500 there for example so i guess the luxury tax would be $4500 on that! And that's on top of sales tax.

 

I didn't have to pay any luxury tax. This is the first I'm hearing of this tax lol just had to check.

MSRP is $122,500. With freight PDI and taxes. Totals with taxes with no discount is around $145,000.

at 10% it's $14,500
at 20% above 100k it would be around $9k.

Expected Jan 1st 2022. The tax is calculated at the lesser of:

• 20 per cent of the value above threshold ($100,000 for cars and personal aircraft; $250,000 for boats) ; or
• 10 per cent of the full value of the luxury car, boat or personal aircraft.
