Default Best Deal for LS 460

I see there is about a 10k profit margin in the LS. What are dealers discounting these days on a new LS?

Do any of you guys have a preferred dealer in PA-northeast or near?

On the West coast, deals are hard to come by. Most stealers are selling at sticker, while a few will offer a token discount.

I was fortunate enough to get almost $2K off my LS Exec. My local dealer had a $25K markup on their exec.

My deal was at full sticker, but they threw in a free bottle of touch-up paint... The paint hasn't come in yet.

Yeah, I'm a shrewd negotiator. As a matter-of-fact, I was the lead negotiator on the Branch Davidian incident in Waco back in '93.

Default Invoice versus MSRP

check out cars.com or kbb.com


THere is a 10k swing on the sticker and actual cost

They go for the juggler on the 460

JM Lexus is giving them away. Sales are way down. Lot is full of LS460's and 460L's. I knew it would happen soon as the few must have customers bought theirs. The new LS is a flop, it looks to much like the ES for 30K less.

Wow...since they are free, now's your chance to rid yourself of the least popular Lexus (due to it's looks). I hear that they are actually paying people to take GS's now.


Great post by the way.

Flop or not, I dont see many LS sitting in CA dealers.

I see many of them on the street.

The new cars here on a typical day at my large local dealer are two dozen ISs, a couple (4 at max) of ESs, maybe one or two LSs, and zero to one GSs.

I think they would LOVE to have some LSs and GSs to sell.
