Default Questions about ordering a GS350 2016 model
When do you think I'll be able to order the new model of GS350? I spoke to one Lexus salesman but he gave me a vague answer and didn't seem to have a price sheet or list of options to show me.

Also, if you place an early order for a new year's model, even when it's just a mild refresh like the 2016 will be, is there much wiggle room on the price, or does it tend to sell near MSRP?

If the model design does not change, you can get at least 6% off MSRP.

Don't expect too much discount for the first few months. Might be able to get $1-2K.

Thanks. Any idea when the 2016 GS model is available?

Probably sometime in November. I think dealers have too much 2015 inventory.

You'll still be able to get a good deal. Supply and demand is not going to change overnight just because a four year old model gets a new grill.

Especially so when it has yet to be determined how customers will like (or accept) the new grill.

If it is a new grill and some other minor changes then it is called a refresh. Re design is something like what RX 350 is going to have when it goes on sale in November.

Get a proper quote (out the door price) from a couple dealerships and start a bidding war.

Tell that to the Toyota Camry crowd with their newly 'refreshed' grill.

Do you like the 2015 Camry design more or less than 12-14' Camry"?
