Default Heads up, Conquest is back this month...

Only downside is residuals have dropped. I know the Premium AWD went from 66% to 64%.

For all you that were pissed when they took it away, here's your chance.

Btw, I'm in NY so don't know if this applies everywhere.

how much is the conquest? the residuals dropping 2% will add about 20-$30 to your monthly payment on a lease.

It's almost a wash if you have a car that qualifies (I do). People that don't have an applicable car will be screwed and their lease payments will be higher.

My understanding is that it only went down 1%, I will try to confirm.

What about the money factor? Usually when the residuals drop, they adjust the money factor slightly downward to offset it.

I'm from Vermont, do you have a copy of the conquest rebate? It could apply to me up here in the north east although almost nothing does...ugh!

It is my understanding that the original Conquest offer was $1,500 off for converts from BMW, Mercedes and Audi. Not sure if there were other brands included.

I believe it was all luxury brands and I just came off from a Volvo.

Default Dang!!!

Just got off the phone with Lexus Headquarters and there is no incentives for the month of May on the 2013 GS. Guess I'm just stuck with my invoice price and got to be happy with that.

We have conquest in New Jersey. I guess it goes by regions.

Indeed, Rich...completely by region and the North East seems to always be behind.

I got an automatic email from the local dealer and the conquest is back for the SF Bay Area market.
