Cantadanie,
Not sure about your deal. I called Lexus when we bought our car in September and Lexus corporate said you can not combine the $1,500 Conquest\Owner Loyalty and the $1,000 GS\Experience certificate or any other multiple certificates.
I was told this by multiple dealers and confirmed this with Lexus corporate about using more than one certificate but unless things have changed you need to verify this.

Don't have the paper in hand but
MSRP $59,845
GS 350 AWD
F-Sport
Nav/Intuitive Parking/Blind Spot/Premium Pkge/Remote Start/Glass Breakage
The end price was $56,500 and they also included free Maintenance at the intervals, I think every 5K and a Tire and Wheel warranty. This price also included the $1500 Lexus incentive or that's what they told me. I'm happy with numbers as before I think I was getting ripped off, thanks to the members here I got this deal.

This was the deal I got. From what I understand, no one has received a similar deal through my dealership, and I haven't found anyone online that has received a similar deal. The car MSRP was $60,200 (Mark Levinson, HUD, Rear Steering), but my dealer charged $318 for wheel locks, trunk mat, cargo net, and rear bumper applique. I had zero out of pocket, and my first payment was on Lexus. I got the loyalty money, tax credits, rebates, etc.

Like I said in the other thread, we're not getting the whole picture.
See where it says "tax less trade", then "Y"? That means you had a trade which defrayed much of your sales tax, took it from $3,630.25 to $516.50. Thats pretty significant when comparing your deal to another deal that is "zero out of pocket". You essentially put that $3,113.75 down...
If I add that $3,113.75 back into the deal it brings the payment to $684.74/ While still good, is hardly as excellent a deal as it would appear here at first glance.

Unless you are a Lexus dealer that knows all the money available for these cars, I don't see how you think you could know my deal. I was at the dealership last night and asked my sales person if I could get a similar deal for a friend of mine that fell in love with my car. He said it would be almost impossible as the residuals and money factors changed, loyalty went from $1500 to $1000, and the biggest thing was that there were no more TAX CREDITS.

I'm not doubting your deal, I'm just saying to everybody else who might compare their deals to yours, your deal was in a large part due to whatever process going on in the state of Texas that reduced the amount of tax you owed, not because you negotiated an incredible deal. You got a great deal, no doubt, but your low payment was the result of the fact that you basically paid no sales tax...everybody else is going to have to pay either sales tax or a monthly use tax, depending on their state.

Just went to a local dealer today. Sticker price is 58k lowered to 54k. Its a Nebula Gray Pearl with Flaxen interior and standard stuff. So if its OTD i think its around 60k for the car, do u guys think its a good deal im financing it? If its a good deal Im going to pick up the car on monday. I was gonna pick a white exterior color but they say I gotta special order it.

If its $58k its not the standard car, is it the luxury package or the F-Sport?
Are you getting the $1,000 loyalty rebate?
