like the title says, would be trading in my 2016 dodge charger hellcat, new to this forum and lexus, is the LS the best bang for buck, any tips/info would be greatly appreciated?

 

So my guess if your coming from a hellcat you want the F-Sport. Hopefully I'm right, I would suggest getting an LS with airride and heads up display. Those options usually come with fully loaded ones. The car itself is a bang for its buck when compared to a S-Class. Also try to get the adaptive lighting. Other than that the car comes with a lot of standard stuff. I would suggest though you wait until around November and December as those are the best months to purchase any car. Good luck!

 

Yea I think the LS is a great value as long as you can get a good discount. I got 20% off of mine brand new. I've had a Charger and Challenger and the interior quality and dealer experience of the LS is like 10x better. And get ready for all the compliments you'll get.

 

Lex: care to share any tips in negotiating 20% off sticker? I'm seriously considering an LS500 and am curious what to expect (and how to achieve it) on 2019 discounts.

 

Like @bigblack06 said, try at the end of the year. Find a few dealers with the car that you want, email them and see who comes with the biggest discount.

 

The three things I always go back to.

You will be SORELY disappointed in the power coming from a hellcat. But you will LOVE the luxury coming from a hellcat.
