Well I leaned something new today, the base msrp for a 2023 vert can be different. The base MSRP for the local SE US car is $102,500 and the SW US out of state base msrp is $101,500. Anyone know why this is? My local dealer thinks it's a regional pricing thing. Both vehicles just arrived at their respective ports so it's not a time of year price increase

 

Don't think so. More likely to be a price increase. I did a little research and found two Monroneys. One from a dealer in Massachusetts and one from a dealer in California:

 

They were both produced around the same time and both arriving at their respective dealerships at the same time so if there was a price increase it shouldn’t it have affected both.

Maybe even though they are on same ship, one was produced in Jan and the other in Feb and it received a price increase?

Nonetheless the new base msrp is now $102,500 for the vert.

 

^^^^Yep, looks like a price increase. Went to the Lexus web site and found this:


From the above Monroneys we see that the DELIVERY PROCESSING AND HANDLING Fee is $1,150. So $102,500 + $1,150 is $103,650. So, definitely a price increase And we see you savvy your dealer is

 

Thanks for finding that. In fairness to my dealer, he did say it would either be due to a price increase or potentially could be a regional adjustment. Looks like the one car’s production date just missed the increase and the other didn’t.

 

no surprise on price increase. i'm shocked the LC500 hasn't gone up 10-20% in recent years with massive cost increases.
