I know this kid that has is leasing a brand new gs430 fully loaded with nav+ml for $909 a month. I think he got ripped off.

Yeah he got ripped like a DVD in a hackers hand. But how many month is he on? Might not be too bad if it's a 2 year lease. A fully loaded Gs 430 should be about $700 a month for 48 mo, and $600 for a base. That is if you have AA credit rating 710+ points.

02s are too new for info. for 01s, this is the #s:

430 premium pkg: $0 down, just reg drive-offs of 1st mon+fees ~$685+tax

300 premium pkg: ~$600+tax

these #s are for 36 months at 15k miles/year. if you are in LA, let me know. my buddy is a sales mgr, and he often beat everyone's price whenever he can. if everything goes well, i will be picking up my gs430 soon.

the 01s are going for close to invoice, so this is a good time.
PM me if you want more info.

Just picked up a 2001 430 with premium package, L-tuned exhaust, spoiler, tinted windows, and 17" chrome wheels for $671 plus tax (39 month lease, $1,000 cap reduction).

Lightbulb my thoughts

Hey tiny,

how's going? wei and i were just down at the wheel shop(spreewell racing) the other day looking at some lowenharts. we both agreed that the work equips are still one of the best buys in price, and performance.

about the lease program that i listed, it truly helps to have a buddy who is willing to take in a smaller profit to make a deal happen for me and people whom i bring to the dealership.

i do not know in great detail abouth the market condition in other parts of US. buy here in s.cal, i can name 7-10 dealers within the 75 mile radius of my residence. thus competition brings out the best price. i was actually assisting a gentleman from texas(forgot what city) as he told me even w/shipping charge of ~$1200/car, it is still $500-1000 cheaper for him to get the gs from LA. but again, not every case is like this. the dealer he visited would only give him very little discount as there was only 1gs430 left.

for the lease/purchase on the pre-owned, this is not my expertise. but one thing/rule that i follow is that it is usually better to BUY the used one(if anyone is consedring a used one), as the large depreciation has already took place. at the present time, lex has a very good low apr on certified purchase at ~5.9%-very good for used cars, not to mention it is a lexus. as far as the prices go, here is an example:

99 gs4- nak, reg 17s, wing 30k miles ~$35k.

let me know if you have more qs.
