How will discount off 2017 model most likely be?
Hi, I heard that the 2018 RC350s come out at the end of October. Any guesses as to how marked down the remaining 2017 RC350 F-sport might be in order to clear inventory?

There is currently $5,000 lease cash versus $4,000 purchase cash in the western region. Additional discount may be $4-5k off depending on color and availability. At my dealership we are currently sitting on just a couple in stock. Very low supply at the moment since the 2018's are on the way and the 2017's stopped being built quite a while ago. I wouldn't expect any dealer doing more than a $10k total discount at the moment.

Another dealer was going to do $11400 off ($5K lease cash plus $6400 msrp discount) on Silver ext Red int but they had so many dealer fees that my overall cost at lease end would have been $1300 higher.

What dealer did you lease from?
Jim 2527,
Do you mind me asking what dealer you leased from in Florida? I am currently negotiating a lease on an RC350 F-Sport with dealers in Tampa and Orlando. MSRP is 52,429 on both cars. Silver with red interior is offering about 7% discount off MSRP plus the 5,000 lease cash. Nebula grey with black interior is offering 9% discount off MSRP plus 5,000 lease cash, but is 2 hours from my house. Just wondering how these numbers compare to yours. I know a lot depends on fees, etc. , which are generally outrageous. Also, if you don’t mind, please explain how the higher dealer fees (the one that was offering you 11,400 total discount) impact the lease end charges (as opposed to the front end charges. Thanks so much. Just trying to learn as much as I can.
