I checked with my dealer today. The Conquest Program is in effect until the end of the month. It is a different program than the Lexus Owner's Reward Program. The latter is a program that rewards you for being a return Lexus customer. The former program gives you a $1500 rebate if you finance or lease a new Lexus GS-350 and are currently driving a BMW, Porsche, Cadillac, or other luxury automobile.

Just picked up mine tonight obsidian with flaxen. Base package in Florida which includes premium package, 18" wheels, navigation and accessory kit. Msrp of $52,093. Dealer sold for $3,600 under msrp plus gave a $1,500 luxury rewards rebate for owning a Cadillac. Total price before taxes and fees was $46,993. Was torn between an A7 and the 350. Love the looks and ride of the A7 but the amazing technology and value in the Lexus made the decision easier for me.

i think it is the same thing as a conquest rebate but for some reason this month they are calling it a luxury owner reward here in Florida. this website was invaluable in helping me get a good deal on the car. thanks for the help.

They call it "Luxury Owner Reward" and is for owners of 12 brands of Luxury cars, Not just Lexus. At least in Florida that is. I qualified for it 4/17 trading in an Acura TL

Considering a purchase today, have not seen the above ad in my area (NE Ohio) I plan on the following approach, BMW 5 and A6 in the area are 5% of MSRP via Truecar, plus BMW is advertising a $1500 additional discount and a $1000 drive event discount on 5 series. The hope is Lexus will match. Approx 60k for F-Sport AWD with ML.
3k off plus 1500 extra for RL "conquest".
Doubtful since trucar is MSRP for the GS in my area.
Don't really need a new car just yet, RL has new tires and brakes, and have a C6 for fun in the sun.

Craziest thing...I took my A6 to Cash for Cars (Carmax knockoff) and they could not beat my Carmax offer. I thought i was going to have to drive the 2.5 hours to CT tomorrow to sell it, which i was dreading. Then a kid calls me from my Cars.com ad and tells me he wants to buy it for $1000 more that Carmax, cash! He kicked the tires, drove around for 10 mins, and we went to the bank to deposit $24K, just like that.
Walked over to dealer with my wife and picked her up yesterday. $56,482 MSRP, paid $52,763.
Here is the breakdown on paper:
Capitalized Cost Reduction - 1932.96
First Month Payment - 597.99
Refundable Security Deposit N/A
Title Fees N/A (told them flat out I wasnt paying this)
Registration Fees$10
License Fes N/A
Tax on Cap Cost Reduction 171.55
Acquisition fee - 700
Process Fee/12.50 NEW YORK STATE TIRE FEE 87.50
STATE TAX N/A
Total 3500 (Minus $1,000 performance event credit = $2,500 out the door)
The breakout on the amount due may seem weird, but I basically told them I had an offer at 580 per month, with $3500 down (which i did, from a Jersey dealer). I showed them the paper, they had a similar car on site (with the remote start, a little extra). They tried to get me to pay 630 or something. I told them i was not paying more than $590 p/m and not coming out of pocket more than 3500. That was it. They met me at $599 to get the deal done and I dropped my deposit.
I think it was a matter of them wanting to move it, and me having other offers to scare them with. Store manager half jokingly told me I stole a car from him, legally. I had to stick to my guns but got it done. If you have a credit/rebate don't mention it until deal is made.
Thanks to all on this forum for your insight, education and enthusiasm.
