i'm willing to bet most (if not all) are either ultra white or atomic silver.

Yeah, white, silver, grey, and one Infrared.

My guy that I had been dealing with for my last two Lexus cars at my local dealership was no longer there. So had to deal with someone new. Dude straight up said there's no way he could get the car shipped over from Texas, too far. Basically it would be too much hassle. Yea, it sucks. Really had my sights set on the UB color.

I had begun looking since late of last year. In that time frame, I think I had only found 1 new UB within the area. Ya, I'm surprised at the scarcity of the 350 model. I asked the guy at my local dealership as to why this was. He just said it seems Lexus is scaling back on the 350's and they seemed focused on trying to push the 200T.

Well, found a deal that I just couldn't pass up. Got the 350 in Atomic Silver. Only thing was I wanted the lip spoiler (doesn't have it), but the offer more than makes up for it. Dealer only asked for 1k out of pocket. With the Lexus rebates as well, got a 39 month lease for $552 a month. Last day of the month deal I suppose. Emailed the dealer on Saturday night, got a call back on Sunday 04/30 morning. Called them when I got home from work. She gave me the offer details. I actually wanted to come in on Monday 05/01, but she said the offer was only good until the end of the day. Every other dealer I talked to wanted way more cash up front, and the payment was still in the mid to high 600's. Little different transitioning from the roomier GS to the RC, but loving it so far!

Got my new 2016 Rc350 Fsports this weekend and a amazing deal deal. Thank to Clublexus and G0tem for helping me out negotiate this unbelievable price.

If Lexus wants to sell more RC350's, they have to offer them in the one color everyone wants! It's as simple as that. Looks like they over-built the earlier units and are forcing those on people instead of spending production money for new ones. I can see their dilemma, but that's not really the ideal way to serve a buying community.

g0tem

i definitely see what you're saying. But it's not specific to rc350s. I was initially in the market for a '17 is350 and every single dealership arond me only had ultra white. And im in los angeles. i was specifically looking for nebula gray pearl on red itnerior and the closest dealer that had one in stock was in norcal

Glad you got a RC and an amazing deal thanks to the forum, but how about giving back and posting details on your deal? Thanks are nice, but details on your deal - now that's useful!

Any 2016 new left on any dealer lots? Has to be an awd f-sport.

G0tem helped me throughout the process. It took some time to negotiate but found my 2016 RC350 FSports at Keyes. I read some horror stories dealing with them but since they are one of the few dealers that still has 2016s in stock I gave them a try. I contacted the internet director Sam Santoso with an offer and negotiated from there. I had my pre approval from my credit union which also includes extended warranty so it made everything easy. I already negotiated the price before I came to the dealership but then it took me sometime to choose which one since they have all the colors except for blue and orange. Sam and his team took care of me but I suggest that you do some research first. Jim falk lexus wasn't able to match Keyes price so it was an easy decission. Also, Keyes Van nuys stores their stocks in a parking structure if that helps. Pm me if you need more details.

well here goes I put 2000 down on a 2015 RC 350 f sport 52k msrp and I am paying 325 a month with 7.5k mikes a year

So Lexus offers leases on previous model years? I see some 2016's still left in random dealers, but I'm used to BMW where they stop leasing previous model year cars

so don't know if this helps anyone, but my 2015 RCfsport (white ext/ black int) will be heading back to dealer in Oct when lease is up or sooner.

been getting calls about matching my current payments, waived next 4 months if i get into another lease. But this sounds fishy because one person told me lexus will no longer do 2 year leases because the residual on the cars hasn't been that great (I'm not gonna pretend to understand what that meant but ok) one even said that no way I can get the same payment plan that I got ( I know it sounds ridiculous and maybe I got extremely lucky, but Im not gonna pay more the second time, doesn't make sense unless theres a huge incentive)

So I guess this question goes out to those who are renewing their lease term. did you get the same deal? maybe better? 2yr people?

I've got a 2 year lease, sub 300 payment, with 1500 down.
only thing I'm asking for is, same lease term, UB color/ black interior, no money down, and this time will probably buy it if school is done and i landed a better gig.

so I'm getting mix messages from the dealer from more than one person. Obviously all hungry to make a sale. but. frankly I'm ready to walk if i can't get the same deal, or better. I understand people have to eat. but I'm seeing here some ridiculous good buys on dealer lot cars that are 10k+ under the sticker, so what gives?

any help or explanation is greatly appreciated.


From what I've been reading so far it looks like i might just have to turn in the keys and walk away if the UB is so dang rare.

Fizzboy7

I can't imagine a sub-$300/mo., $1500 down lease on any $50k car. That is a Honda Civic lease. Please explain your lease in full, including tax (out the door), other down payments, security deposits, miles allowed per year, trade-in credit, and miles that were on the RC at delivery. Thanks.

last time you said " Thats what Camry's and Accords go for" lol.

but ill post again what I feel comfortable sharing.
Thats all i remember and thats all the money that exchanged hands. car had 40 miles on odo, i remember because i didn't want to get charged for 40 miles i didn't drive if i came that close to going over. ill look for the actual sticker that was on the car tonight should still be in there.

the car itself was a transfer though, when i went to install my plates, the original dealer paper dealer plate was behind the one that was showing form the dealer i got the car from.

i did have initial suspicion that the car may have been abused or damaged in a way i couldn't see. so i took it to carman and 2 other body shops for a check up and they all told me why am i wasting their time looking at a new car. car has had 0 issue's and i did the oil change at 5k since thats what I'm used to doing with all my cars prior running Full synthetic.

my initial questions still stand though. if anyone can help me or guid me through it.
