Elizabeth...Im sorry but im a little confused. My dealer sales rep told me that if i decide to lease, Lexus Financial Services is the ONLY bank that would do that. If i wanted to finance, then i can go through them or any other credit union that i wanted to go with.

Secondly, my rep told me that minimum coverage is all that is required. If i do get maximum coverage, the insurance premium I will pay will be higher off course. But again, my rep told me minimum is all that is required. So if all i get is the minimum insurance coverage and if the car gets into a wreck or someone hits and dents it pretty bad, etc...what will be the situation? Who is responsible for that and for the payment for the damage on the vehicle?

Ahhhh i wish my rep was straight forward with me =(

Oh and one another thing...my rep told me that all i need is minimum insurance coverage , but i will need to purchase GAP insurance..He said that is NOT an option with leasing...gap insurance MUST be taken and again minimum insurance is all that is required.

What will happen if the car gets in a wreck or soemone damamges it bad or sumthign bad happens and all i have is the minimum insurance coverage with gap insurance????


Im so confused!!!

All dealers use the same lenders. Lexus Financial is the best because there is no disposal fee at the end. GAP is already included with LFS. Whatever bank your dealer chooses is up to them. Do not get the smallest insurance, it is too risky. IF you aren't fully covered in a lease/finance, you crash, YOU are responsible to pay out of your own pocket. Not a good idea.

Here are RL sales, they are down almost 30% from last month.
1320 in October.
1941 in November.
1967 for December.
1,371 for January 05.
The reason why sales is down is because the RL is over priced! This is going to happen to the GS too.....unless they drop their prices!!!

Reason why RL Sales are down is because the M and the GS are coming. They are much better cars than the RL overall.

Default New Gs300 Features

Another added feature is a sunlight sensor for the instrument panel. Have you ever driven around during a certain time of day and when the sun hits through your back window, you are unable to read the instrument panel. Well, fear no more! There is a "sunlight sensor" on the backwindow underneath the third brakelight and it automatically dims or brightens your instrument panel. Pretty cool!

Default Sonar Park Assist

Have you ever tried to get your car out of a really tight parking spot? Not sure if you have enough room to clear the pole ina parking structure or you might scrape the corner of your front bumper? Not to worry! Now you have "Sonar Park Assist". The back is regular park assist, but the front works off of sonar. The turning radius of the steering wheel and the car think together and calculate if you have enough room to clear your corners. A little green steering wheel appears on the navigation screen to give you the a-okay! You may never have scratches on your bumpers again.

Talking

LOL....well, I could do it the boring way.......just copy the memo in all technical terminology, but I figured I'd do something different, like explain in a language that the average person can understand in a real life situation. And yes, this is fun!

I got a question about the suspension settings. Is it true that their will be 4 suspension modes with 4 buttons of some sort to chnage your stiffness etc... or is this just a feature included in a safety feature that is automatically controlled by the vehicle trip computer?
